Shrine of Michael Jackson on the base of the Statue of composer Orlando di Lasso in the Promenade Square in Munich, Germany has gone over the week-end.
The shrine was already the dispute between locals who wants the original state of the statue back, and 2 fan groups who have been fighting among them since 2015.
Well, it seems that due to the lock down in Germany as COVID-19 striking the world, someone has decided to clear and clean the di Lasso statue and get it back to it’s original state.
So maybe a local had plenty time on their hand and wanted the square back to its original look and cleared the area but president and founder of the Munich-based fan club MJ’s Legacy, Nena Snezana Akhtar, has already her suspicions and luckily she always carries extra Michael Jackson posters to restart the shrine.
Here the look of the statue few months back:
What is your thoughts?
Should the city keep the Shrine of Michael Jackson or give it back to its original purpose to commemorate local composer Orlando di Lasso? [comment below]
Dear Nena, Thanks for the care and dedication that you take care of Michael’s memory and delight our eyes and our heart. I would like to be a little correct about the statue of the composer Orlando di Lasso. However, this is a monument to him and Michael Jackson’s fans should not be completely captivated by us. In my opinion, if there is no other way to create a proper corner for MJ, then at least use only one or two opposite sides of the monument, leaving the face solely for the composer Orlando di Lasso. With best feelings!
Of course, leaving a lot for the fans and the monument was always beautifully maintained and looked very nice, I don’t understand what the people around can mind. Everyone needs their refuge and this was a very important place for MJ fans
If I am ever in Munich I am always drawn to the shrine. Whilst I appreciate the statue is of another composer, he is at least a musical composer. No one is giving the man an MJ face just using the base to honour another composer:>) I think it’s beautiful and it is so well maintained and adored by all the fans, an ideal place, opposite the hotel where MJ stayed for his concerts. When he was there little did he know that one day there would be a shrine nearby. Thanx Neena and all the fans who make this such a special place to visit and think about Michael…..LOVE LIVES FOREVER….YES YES YES please keep this shrinexxoo
I think they should keep it at Munich Germany
We will never give up. We will rebuild it, as soon as possible. Thank you for your love and support. MJ FOREVER! Hugs from Munich :* Nena & MJ´s Legacy e.V. Team
