Michael Jackson has died age 50

[God's Toy]

Just watching Sky News tonight and a news flash came across the screen saying (unconfirmed reports) Jacko passed away after an cardiac arrest this afternoon. Paramedics were called to his house but didn't find a pulse and were unable to revive him.
The L.A.Times reports he was pronounced dead at 3:15 (local time)


Regardless of the story's about his past I have always loved his music right back to the Jackson 5 and was looking forward to seeing his comeback.


If this news is fact and not a wind up, May he R.I.P

Fawcett excuse me.

May They Rest In Peace.

I think I heard sometime in the '80s that Michael wanted to live to be 150 years old.

I heard in the tabloids that Farrah was battling cancer - I guess it was true.

It's seems it's official now, Michael Jackson past away. Just watched BBC's Live stream.

May he rest in peace.

That is very sad, He has made an amazing contribution to music over the years. I loved the Thriller album when it first came out, may he rest in peace..

I agree, this is sad news indeed ... the Music Industry will never be the same now!

Like all of you, I too loved his music ... hell, I grew up with it and not to mention seeing posters of him plastered all over my sisters bedroom and buying vinyl records .. yes I did say vinyl!!

I hope his spirit is finally at peace! Be well Michael Jackson!

I think many of us scorned or made fun of Michael for his extravagances - partly because of his scandals and rumors of alleged child molestation - tied in with the his extreme vanity. I don't think he got the plastic surgery and skin bleaching because he was a vain man - but that he was a very insecure man. This was probably orginally brought about by his father's extreme abuse in pushing his career and his stardom - that robbed him of his childhood. It's no big wonder that he got the Peter Pan syndrome.
