    I'm in shock here. He was an absolute legend. May he find peace in death that he really never had in life. Rip Michael.

    He will be just like Elvis. Not really dead, just moonwalking on Mars.

    Yeah and how many kids and there famillies did he pay off for the silence?

    perhaps one family but maybe that was to avoid a court case which would have adverse effects on his health...which was clearly evident in the latest trial when he was found innocent of molestation!some people really make me feel sick!he was found innocent yet ye still treat him like he was found quilty!

    None the less, the guy's musical legacy will always win through.

    In 50 years, the people who didnt grow up listening to him won't talk or care about his personal life, just his musical awesomeness!

    Michael Jackson dies in LA after suspected heart attack


    Pop star Michael Jackson has died after being rushed to hospital this evening after suffering a suspected heart attack.
    The LA TImes has reported in the last few moments that the singer was pronounced dead after being admitted to the UCLA Medical Center in a deep coma.
    US authorities confirmed that the singer was taken to hospital after an emergency call was received from Jackson’s Holby Hills California home shortly after 12.20pm local time (8.20pm Irish time).
    Paramedics are said to have performed CPR on the 50-year-old singer in the ambulance en route to the UCLA Medical Center. But a fire department official has told the LA Times that the singer was not breathing when the paramedics arrived at his home.
    The TMZ.com celebrity website broke the news that the singer had passed away after failed attempts to revive him.
    "We've just learned Michael Jackson has died," TMZ said.

    "Michael suffered a cardiac arrest earlier this afternoon and paramedics were unable to revive him. We're told when paramedics arrived Jackson had no pulse and they never got a pulse back," the entertainment site said. There was no official confirmation of the reported death and spokespersons for Jackson could not be reached for comment.
    The LA Times, citing city officials, confirmed the singer's death.
    The news comes just weeks ahead of the 50-year-old singer's attempted comeback which was to have involved an extensive global tour. He has had a history of health problems in recent years and has not finished a concert tour in more than ten years.

    Regardless of the allegations made against him, few can deny that one of the centuries defining artists has just passed away. I can't comprehend taking time to bad mouth him. Maybe people just want to go against the grain and be shocking but really it just comes across as being a douche.

    I'm genuinely sad the guy is dead, and I'm not the kinda guy that says that when any old celebrity dies. I can remember getting Jacko tapes when I was in 4th class. Its especially sad as he seemed like he might have been just about to start turning things around with the gigs in London himself. However I'm glad he had a chance to prove himself innocent of any/all accusations of molestation. I will remember him for the right reasons and I'm confident that the rest of the world will too.

    RIP.

    I'm loving the perspective dude, this place is notorious for derogatory comments about all walks off life, race, religion etc, you can't move the target just because it suits you....
