July 31, 2014 it was announced the Michael Jackson's former home in which he called Neverland will soon be put up for sale. Many Michael Jackson fans around the globe are petitioning to stop the sale of Neverland. The Estate of Michael Jackson has claimed they can't stop Colony Capitol from putting it up for sale even though the Estate owns 87.5% of the property. Neverland was a special place for Michael has he built it for himself and sick children all around the world. Michael Jackson allowed thousands upon thousands of sick children into Neverland so they could escape their illness and just be a child for a day. Michael also wrote many of his songs in his "giving tree" such as "Heal The World" and "Childhood." We hope that whoever buys Neverland will keep Michael Jackson's Legacy, the fans will never forget Neverland the way Michael had it.
