Yehudi Menuhin and Sarah Chang I grant you, but Mozart didn't handle stardom well - he died a pauper at the age of 35 after a somewhat chaotic lifestyle not entirely dissimilar to that of Michael Jackson.

One of the spectacular differences between "classical" and "pop" musicians.  Mozart and Menuhin and Sarah Chang were "catapulted to stardom" at even younger ages than MJ (let alone EP).
