Michael Jackson - Dead

[Omar Jones]

Shocking News - RIP Michael.


We've just learned Michael Jackson has died. He was 50.

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.

Michael is survived by three children: Michael Joseph Jackson, Jr., Paris Michael Katherine Jackson and Prince "Blanket" Michael Jackson II.

Jackson had 13 number one hits during his solo career.

MOD NOTE:
This is the Music board and I'd like this thread to stay as such.

Glad to see trolls have been mostly ignored. Jokes and one line "witty" remarks can be taken to the General Discussion or Humour Board if you think it's relevant.

Cheers.

I'm sad and in shock

Although having said that, i'd be waiting for more confirmation. CNN reckon he's still kicking.

Just watching some Updates on Morning T.V now and very sad.

Was a great Performer regardless of the Rumours and Inuendo that plagued him later in his career.

I hope it is not true but following the story as it happens.........it doesn't look good.

He is/was a fruitcake but his music was great and he will be remembered as one of the top 10 musicians of all time.

Has been confirmed by city and law enforcement sources

Very sad news - was terribly misunderstood and a music legend

RIP Michael

OK so now apparently he's in a coma. The media, internet in particular is going MENTAL with this.

I think the coma reports are merely just a 'Your cats on the roof' way of saying he has died.

Terrible news. Was a huge fan of his music in the 80s.

RIP MJ.

RIP Michael.

Truly a wonderful artist and despite my lack of interest in him towards the end here, I can still look back and see the good he's done and the world will surely miss him.

So sublimely talented - he should have hung around with James Brown at least then he would have had the usual vices hos and crack rather than jesus juice and young kiddies

RIP Michael.

Such sad news, Is a legend of the music buisness.

The King of Pop is now the King of Dead.

He was a music God in the 70's and 80's and his songs will never die but for the last 15 years he was the butt of so many jokes that his legacy will be half genius half crazy man.

For what it's worth, his career died about 10 years ago.

Might have been wierd but jeez he made great music. Very sad.

Say what you may about the controversies that riddled the final years of his life, MJ was an incredible musician and will be remembered as one of the best of all time.

I was at his History tour concert at the MCG and it was just amazing.

He will be sorely missed. RIP.

Really? I wouldnt have gone to that extent, but I was praying like mad he would have extended that tour to other countries too.
