Gnomon - time to move on

Done that now. There's wasn't actually a lot. It just worries me when I see that there is a problem in the first sentence, because that's the first place most people look and nobody had seen it, which means that not many people have looked at it.

I did the following changes:

a singer and dancer who teased his fans with tantalising tunes while remaining at arms length never giving too much of his personal life away and his death open to conspiracy theories

During his lifetime over 100 million copies of his six solo albums have been sold worldwide -->

There's still one issue, though. The first courtcase was settled out of court, but the article implies that the jury had found him not guilty. These two are contradictory.

The first courtcase was settled out of court and the case was dropped. It was the second courtcase where they found him not guilty, I thinksmiley - run

I'm not a fan, so I won't make any comments subject but just on one on the corrections you're going to make, ie,
The Jacksons' years --> The Jacksons years

Wouldn't it be clearer to say The Jackson Five years?

*goes away mumbling and grumbling about Jackson being the greatest pop singer of the 2Oth century, 'star' mebbe but singer...*

Gnomon - time to move on

The Entry states that just after the first court case he married Presley smiley - yikes and this was a vindication of the fact that the jury had found him not guilty.

The group operated original as The Jackson Five and later as The Jacksons.
