Tributes continue to crop up by generations of fans around the world in memory of late pop star Michael Jackson, who died on Thursday.

For Michael Jackson's fans, his death is a huge sorrow. For others, it marks a good business opportunity - including China's top impersonator of the "King of Pop".

29-year-old Wang Jie has been performing on stage as Michael Jackson since 2004.

His talent was first discovered at a night club in Guangzhou. He then quit his job as a dishwasher in a restaurant and began his career as a Jackson impersonator. His reputation for impersonating Jackson quickly began to grow.

Wang says he is planning a big performance in Beijing on July the 8th, the day when Jackson was scheduled to start a 50-concert run in London.

Meanwhile, in Moscow, Russia, Jackson's fans laid flowers, candles and posters outside the U.S. Embassy.

Jackson visited Russia twice - in 1993 and 1996 - and both times his concerts sold out well in advance.

In France on Sunday, thousands of the singer's fans gathered under the Eiffel Tower in Paris for what they say was the world's biggest moonwalk event ever. The gathering was organized via Facebook with over 3-thousand people confirming they would attend.

Meanwhile, the cardiologist who was with Michael Jackson during the pop star's final moments sat down with investigators for three hours to explain his actions. His spokeswoman says he is not a suspect.
