This photo of Paul McCartney and Michael Jackson's daughter is historic and this is why

In the world of music, only a few have the privilege of being on Olympus. Whether because of their songs, their legendary concerts, their way of claiming or their professional career in general, some have managed to go down in history, as could be the case of Madonna or Elvis Presley.

A list in which two artists who have generated a lot of stir over the decades are at the top, not only for their enormous musical careers, but also for the enmity they ended up having for eternity: Michael Jackson and Paul McCartney, former member of The Beatles.

But if you take this story from the beginning, both started their successful musical careers at the same time and achieved great numbers over the decades. And, far from the rivalry that could exist between the two, they forged a great friendship. So much so, that they came to compose several songs together, such as, for example, The girl is mine or Say say say.

However, a business turn by Michael Jackson ended up causing the great anger of Paul McCartney: the Thriller singer bought The Beatles' entire music catalog in 1985, thus keeping the rights. A move that he made behind his friend's back and that started this mythical battle that had no end, until now.

If there was something that no one expected, it was that this Monday the former member of the British group decided to symbolically seal peace with his former friend. Something that happened during Paris Fashion Week. The composer did not hesitate to pose in the front row with Paris Jackson, Michael's daughter.

A photograph that has not gone unnoticed and, in fact, has gone around the world given the symbolism that this union represents after 40 years of enmity. With this, a stage closes that the 'king of pop' could not do in life, but that he has been able to do posthumously.

With this, it is not surprising that peace between both artists could have been sealed not long ago if the unexpected death of Billie Jean had not occurred in 2009. However, it has been possible thanks to the meeting between the British artist and the model . And this occurs five years after Paul McCartney gave an interview on Radio Futuro where he did not hesitate to give his opinion on the harsh accusations towards his former friend.

"Michael Jackson was a great artist that we have loved for years, but everything that has happened has made things difficult. I didn't know about his dark side," he said about the information about the accusations of abuse of minors that were revealed in Leaving Neverland. "I could understand if someone would never want to listen to his music again," he added. Now, it seems that he wanted to have a good time with his daughter.
