Today in 2001 - Michael Jackson was inducted in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame as a solo artist in New York.

It was the second time that Michael Jackson has been inducted in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. First, as a member of the Jackson Five and became the youngest living artist to be inducted. When he was inducted in 2001, Michael holds again another record by becoming the youngest solo artist to be inducted. 

Michael attended the induction with a cast on his feet due to accident he had in California (he fell while dancing)
