You assume he faked his death to be free. I do not believe that is the case because it doesn't make sense.
Michael Jackson is very recognizable, he is know in every corner of the earth. So to be 'out & about' in the world, he would still need to disguise himself. So to be 'free' in that way he doesn't need to fake his death. There have been years and years where we didn't hear from him and he lived 'under the radar' so to speak. So he still wouldn't be 'free', unless he set up camp on the moon.
In his own words, people were after him. Faking your death does not protect you from those people. In fact, it will make you even less safe because you're 'already dead', so you're easier to get rid of. Since I am 1000% sure he faked his death, that means he has done it for very serious reasons, actually putting himself at risk. It also means he can not see his children as often as he would like to. If people were indeed after him (and again: his OWN words), they will have figured out also that he is still alive and if you'd want to find him, you would make sure you keep an eye on his children. That means that if he would stay in hiding to be 'free', he will not see his children whenever he wants, he would always have to plan in advance and make sure his children are not followed and are safe. It's beyond a hassle. That is one reason why I believe he will be back.
Having said that, we have to look at WHY he had to fake his death, because as explained above it's likely not something he 'liked' to do. So we have to assume he had no other choice. That means the WHY of it is some serious shit. Think about what he has consistently said throughout his life. What was his purpose, what was his goal? What would he stick with until it's done? What does he care about MOST? Himself? No. Doesn't matter what interview or speech you click, they will ALL have the same them: heal the world, save the children. What have we seen a LOT about the last few years? People getting arrested for child trafficking and pedophilia. Some directly connected to him.
So WHAT IF Michael has been 'Agent M' for real? What if he gathered information on certain people? He wore the uniform... It's not far-fetched either, Elvis did the same for the DEA. Elvis did not return, he might not even be alive anymore by now. Not sure if that was the plan from the start or the mission didn't go as planned. But Michael said during the Super Bowl: THIS TIME WE MUST SUCCEED.
So to those people getting bent out of shape and saying this 'has to stop' and base their arguments on their own feelings (OMG Michael would never do that to his fans, as if he owes any of his fans any more than he has given them...) have not listened to the man himself.
Michael was chosen and prepared for a special time in HIStory, and that is why he had to fake his death, that is why he will return eventually.
Like I said, this is not a game. In fact some of it is so dark that you NEED the funny hoax stuff, or this would be unbearable. I know whereof I speak.
So some may ridicule all they want, it says more about their own ignorance.
Happy Birthday Mike.
