Anyone following this story?

Just saw on a local news station report that he is dead, but Fox news will only confirm he has been rushed to the hospital in full cardiac arrest. Fifty years old.

This is a huge shock. I remember being a young girl seeing the Jackson Five. He was a musical genius for sure. Too bad he felt the need to change his appearance, cause I thought he was perfect the way he was. This is 2 people in one day(Farah Fawcett) - it feels so strange.

It's been confirmed that he died of a massive cardiac arrest this morning. He wasn't breathing when first responders arrived. They tried to resusitate him to no avail.

He was a heck of a singer/dancer/performer!
I'll never forget the dancing in the Thriller video and Billy Jean...

Thanks for all the great songs over the years, Michael.

Michael Jackson, may you rest in peace.

I was never a fan, but it's a pity that he died so young.
If you've ever seen "Man in the Mirror: The Michael Jackson Story" a lot of his past ranges from really sad to just plain horrific.
Thanks for this!

I was utterly shocked.

ALL KNOW WITHOUT A DOUBT HIS SEXUAL HISTORY.

But only God knows if he got his heart right before his past.

Other wise just another child abuser gone.
Thanks for this!

My theory is he committed suicide after he heard about Farrah's death. No seriously he had this issue with wanting to look like a glamourous female starlet and he was always looking for notority. I think he wanted to go out with a bang so to speak and die in a way that would get attention so what better way than to overshadow the death of a famous starlet, Farrah who was famous in the same decade that his career was also at its highest. I think after she died this morning he OD'd on painkillers in one last attempt to achieve worldwide clamor. He made some beautiful songs, but I think he was a terribly mentally disturbed man and someone terribly abused as a child. Its sad it ended this way.

I am trying to be as polite as possible however I am glad he is gone.

One less peadaphile in the world.

Hate his music because of what he is and know I will have to keep the radio turned off for a week as his music is a trigger to me and it will be played constantly.
Thanks for this!

yes, sabrina.

i dont think the paedophile thing was ever proven, either (to my knowledge, anyway) so i feel really uncomfortable holding that against him.
Thanks for this!

Please, can we show some respect here ?
The only abusers any of us know for sure are our own.

MJ may have had problems, this is NOT for us to judge, & we can't say "good another paedophile gone" because we don't know for sure.

Whatever he may, or may not have done, & suffered himself

MAY HE REST IN PEACE
