Although there were multiple reports that he's only in coma, it now seems that King of Pop has passed away, in age of 50, in what seems to be cardiac arrest.

R.I.P. And thanks for the beats.

Today is a sad day for the world. We have just lost the greatest pop icon that we have ever seen, or will ever see. You gave us more than we could ever repay. Indeed, Rest in Peace MJ. Let us all pay our respects and light a candle for him, and may he live on forever in our memories.

My best friend was a huge Michael Jackson fan back in the 80's while I was more of a Queen fan. It's ironic how, with the years, I became to respect Jackson's music more and more. More and more of his songs ended up on my mp3 player with Billy Jean becoming my favorite track of his.

It is sad to see what happened to what was once the most popular pop singer in the world. It just goes to show fame has its dirty sides - an adult who never got to be a kid and kept reaching back to childhood all his life.

RIP Michael.

I agree with Ace: MJ was such a force of nature. Just such an unbelievable singer, dancer and performer, the likes of which we will never see again. He taught us all what it REALLY meant to be a pop icon, and he paid a terrible price for having done so. RIP Michael, we will love and remember you forever.

Oh he reached back to childhood, thats for sure.


Anyways, this is sad, he was a great dancer, and a great singer. hopefully he is only in a coma.

R.I.P. King of Pop

R.I.P, you will forever touch me in my dreams

I wondered how he was going to get out of the tour this time.
Never thought he'd go for the old "I'm dead" routine, mind...
"I'm falling to pieces; won't someone put me together" - Faith no More

Billy Jean and Beat it were masterpieces. I love the riffs and basslines and only Michael Jackson could've done the vocals for, well... any of his songs really.
While ever since the whole Jarvis C0ckend thing and the Crucifixion, he's kinda sucked at producing new stuff, I was looking forward to seeing him.
I hope that they have the technology to rebuild him. Maybe he has some stem cells or core cells that they can regrow or clone him.

There's a tv series about him looking at buying a house in the UK - a costal resort. I think it was Plymouth or somewhere. Can'nae remember laddie.

MJ, also known as "Mary Jane" or "Marijuana"; "pot" or "weed" is usually bad for you unless you're:
A) At College
B) A College drop-out
C) Happy to exhange the brain cells and suffer ill mental health to get high
D) Are Towlie from South Park, in which case it makes you remember stuff.

Michael Jackson, however, is not a drug. At least, not one usually found in nature - the new substance is at least 75% artificial and, like most things in life, best viewed in retrospect or nostalgia.

Now he has met his demise, he must truely be great and I must go out and buy all his albums and promotional material. To line the pockets of the tax-cheating, kiddie-fiddling, jesus-juice swigging, Never-bloody-everland Jackson Spawn.
Filth.

I am friends with someone from Adam and the Ants and they say that someone else says that Adam said that Gary Glitter (slang for "up the shitter") had a few problems with being a nonce, too. Probably still has...

Women beaters and nonces - two kinds of people that I can use the words I and hate before.

May've made some good tunes and inspired generations of musical diversity.
But let's not forget that he dangled a baby out of window, makes his kid wear a bag over their head and tried to make sexual advances on children after plying them with alcohol.

What goes around, comes around harder.
And now the hard part is getting the money back for the tickets - they were £120 to see him at the O2 Arena (formerly known as "Feck up of the Millenium" dome)...

[Icewolf]

Rest in peace.
He had a huge impact in 90's pop music lasting until today and future centuries.
In former days he did legendary music with The Jackson Five.
So I think he deserves a lot of respect nonwithstanding the awkwardness in some parts of his life.

I see music in this...
What goes aroud, comes around
and
The hardest part

Im with Saccade. Personally im not a fan of him or his music, still he certainly didn't deserve to die. After someone dies its important to remember the good and the bad, people tend to overlook the misdeeds commited in the name of honouring the dead or some such nonsense. Regardless, its obvious im in the global minority, his music seems to be universally loved, but i digress.
