I cried when Michael Jackson pass away: Shahrukh

London, July 11 (PTI) "I cried, it was since long I
cried. My wife and kids also cried," said Bollywood superstar
Shahrukh Khan after hearing about the tragic death of 'King of
Pop' Micheal Jackson.

Describing himself an ardent fan of Jackson, Khan said,
"I felt very sad. I had met him. He was a wonderful creation
of God,"

He was talking to reporters here Friday night at a
ceremony where an Honorary Doctorate was conferred on him by
UK's Bedfordshire University.

"The only music I knew or heard during the last three
four years is that of Michael Jackson. I don't have any
understanding of other western music," Khan said.

"I felt I lost my youth when I heard Michael Jackson
pass away," he added.

The 50-year-old pop icon who died of a suspected cardiac
arrest on June 25 was on the verge of making a much awaited
comeback in London.

The concerts were supposed to be Jackson's first public
performance announcing his return to the music world after
years of staying in reclusion. PTI
