CNN saying he's in a coma.

I made a **** joke at the start of this thread, which was uncalled for...

Every news station seems to have a slightly different story, it's hard to know which to believe/trust. Whatever's the truth, the fact that he's seriously ill/dead is horrible; he was and is a legend, and above all a father.

Jesus Christ, give someone a keyboard and they lose all respect for life.

May he rest in peace and long live his music. Another legend leaves us.

Adrian Kennedy confirmed it on his Phoneshow. Thats it, it's official now.

RIP:(

LA Times are reporting Jackson is dead, story was of a Coma, now dead.

Saibh

The only website stating that he is dead is TMZ. No other website have confirmed from their own sources that he is dead.

Grew up listening to this guy and his music. Amazing artist and singer but a few doubts about other aspects.

RIP

I will admit I'm not a fan of Michael Jackson.. he made some great music but all and all, I just was never a fan.

However.. despite all the criticism against him and his personal life, legal issues (etc), it's very sad to see the man pass away at 50.

Think of all he has went through in the last 10 - 15 years. I can't imagine he enjoyed his life at all throughout this and although we all have had a laugh at his expense.. but even in his rumoured death, can people actually simply let the jokes lie for a short time. They're not clever and most of them are 5 years old.

I know I'm saying this in After Hours and jokes are bound to be made.. but to be honest, I'm actually very sad to see him pass away (that's if it is true) after the absolutely horrible time he's went through both by the public and the media.

That actually mirrors my own thoughts very well, i was never a fan, but it is very sad.

Sir Oxman

LA Times - he's dead

is_that_so

LA Times now have him as dead. Most bizarre. RIP and thanks for the musical memories.

If he is dead, let him rest in peace. Forget the BS and all the rest and look at his musical legacy. Off the wall, Thriller? Seminal works of genius. Not my bag but I can appreciate the talent behind it.

Yeah, he was a great entertainer and left a great musical legacy* <snip>
personally I don't like his music at all.

TMZ are bigger than sky. Just because you never heard of it doesn'y mean its nothing.

Reuters are huge, CNN are huge, BBC are huge. The title of TMZ's webpage starts with "Celebrity Gossip" - I think that says it all.

The Sparrow

Sky News reporting that LA Times are reporting that Reuters are reporting confirmation of his death.

RIP Michael Jackson.

Bad was the first album i ever owned on a copied tape. Very sad day.:(

Legend tbh

They were still the first with the truth.

jumpguy

We'll all remember where we were when we heard he had died. Man I'm gonna miss the guy, although he stopped playing music it's gonna be weird to think he's dead from now on when I hear it.

Just a random thought, but the tabloids are gonna be pissed. Having to pull back all those copies already printed...hehe...it's always good to see The Sun suffer.

Oh man, what are the odds that Michel Jackson would get a heart attack the same night Michael Jackson died of a heart attack?

We're all praying for you Michel.

I'd be more likely to believe the doctors that pronounced him dead.

Sky is based in the UK, CNN and Fox are in the US. He won't be dead over there for another 5-8 hours.

That has to be a joke right

You do know things happen simultaneously regardless of time difference.

I'm in the U.S. Got the news about him dying alright.

It's not like we're actually in the past here where things haven't happened yet :D:D:D
