No. In 1998, Michael J. Fox (born June 9, 1961) announced to the public that he was suffering from Parkinson's Disease. In the years since, he curtailed his acting roles and became the public face for the Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson's research. But he has done more acting recently, appearing in a featured role on The Good Wife in 2013.The effects of Parkinson's disease caused him to retire from the ABC comedy series Spin City several years ago. In recent years, Fox resumed his acting career, but he devotes a lot of his time and energy searching for a cure for Parkinson's disease.

Fox" because it presented a play on words, 2) He was paying homage to actor Michael J. Pollard.
Michael J. Fox is an actor, not an artist/musician. He never made an album, he made movies.
