Witnesses on the second day of the trial of Michael Jackson's doctor testified that the singer's children found him after he had died from overdose of the sedative Propofol. Faheem Muhammed, the former chief of Jackson's security team, testified that the star's oldest children had reacted in horror when discovering their father's dead body.

"Paris was on the ground balled-up crying and Prince, he was just standing there, he had a real shocked – just slowly crying – look on his face," Muhammad told the court.

Another witness called to the stand claimed that Dr. Conrad Murray, the physician charged with involuntary manslaughter in the King of Pop's death, called Jackson's assistant before calling an ambulance, and the witness alleged the doctor had attempted to hide evidence of the singer's drug use.

“Oh Sherrie”

Steve Perry | 1984

Steve Perry's girlfriend Sherrie Swafford was actually in the studio when Perry began writing this song--his lone Top Ten hit as a solo act--with two co-writers. The trio began at midnight one night with just "Oh, Sherrie!" and "hold on, hold on." Three hours later, they had a complete song. Swafford, however, had to wait until the next day to hear it. "Sherrie actually got tired and went to bed," Perry said. She also appeared in the video, but their relationship did not hold on for long.
