The Narellan Vale man, one of the country's best known Michael Jackson impersonators, has been in frantic demand since the ``King of Pop'' died on Friday.

Mr Jackson had numerous TV and radio reporters turn up at his doorstep and when speaking to the Advertiser, his home phone rang constantly.

``I was just inundated,'' he said. ``My website crashed on Monday morning.''

Mr Jackson, 35, has performed his tribute show The Jackson Experience since he was 10. The self-taught dancer/singer said Michael Jackson had had a profound effect on him he even officially changed his surname from Zamprogno to Jackson when he was 18.

``I had bone cancer when I was a child,'' he said. ``Michael helped me with that. By listening to his music, I survived.

``I said to my mum, ``I want to be just like Michael'.''

It was Mr Jackson's mum who broke the news that would shatter him.

``My heart sank, I was horrified I still am,'' he said. ``Now I just hope the fans are going to be strong. I'm going to be there for them if they need to look up to me.''

Mr Jackson said he sat next to Michael at the Sydney premiere of 1990 film Ghost and had another encounter with the star in 1996.

``He saw me on Kerry-Anne [the Midday show]. His manager actually called me and I sat near him during his HIStory tour,'' he said. ``I thought `woah I can't believe it'.''

He said he would record a tribute for Michael in the coming weeks and was planning to do a show at Campbelltown RSL in July/August.
