11. Michael Jackson

This is the last known photograph of Michael Jackson - or is it? So much speculation and intrigue surround the strange world of the King of Pop that it's impossible to know what's real and what isn't. Some say he's still alive to this day. Others say that he used a series of lookalikes to handle public appearances for him. Those who were working on his 'This is It' farewell shows say that from day to day he often seemed to be two different men in both appearance and energy levels.

Whatever your opinion, there's an official version of events, and it goes like this. This picture was taken at a rehearsal for the show, two days before Jackson's death. On 25th 2009, Jackson suffered a heart attack at home in Los Angeles and died at the age of 50. His doctor would later be charged with involuntary manslaughter, and many of his relatives also feel that he was killed via a combination of medications. What's myth and what's reality? In death as in life, Jackson is an enigma.
