The monument on Promenadeplatz is actually dedicated to Orlando di Lasso, he has been "sharing" it with Michael Jackson since his death in 2009, as he stayed at the Hotel …

He was the "King of Pop" and his global hits such as "Thriller", "We are the World" and "Earth Song" remain unforgettable. After the global artist's sudden death in 2009, people made a pilgrimage to Promenaden Platz in Munich. More precisely, to the bronze statue of Orlando di Lasso. In memory of the deceased Michael Jackson, fans placed song lyrics, candles, flowers, wreaths and letters on the base of the monument. But why was the Orlando di Lasso monument chosen and is there a connection between the "King of Pop" and di Lasso?
