They just said on news that his cancer is bad. I'm not really sure he died of an heart attack...

I was crazy about MJ for most of my life, even with all of the allegations of child molestation, I was still a fan of his music.

It's too soon to say he's dead though, there are a lot of reports going around, even while I post there's one about him being in a coma. We'll just have to wait and see.

TMZ are the source saying he is dead.

Other reports saying he had a heart attack and is in hospital, and they don't know if he's dead.

hopefully the reports are false.

EDIT: check fox news, they are following the story. They have him as alive.

NBC officially says he is dead

CNN says he is in a coma.


They are both official sources, which should I follow. They are both saying these two stories right now..

LA Times said he was in a coma and then are confirming his death . Unfortunately, seems like it's true.

R.I.P my thoughts and prayers are with his family.

Yep, he just died.

Well, guess yet another artist dies because of drugs/cancer. Man, these things are everywhere!

RIP, Jacko.

Despite all the controversies around him, he was a great musician.

Songs like Thriller, Billy Jean or Stranger in Moscow will be remembered forever.

RIP Michael Jackson.

"One of the few artists to have been inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame twice, his other achievements include multiple Guinness World Records—including one for "Most Successful Entertainer of All Time"—13 Grammy Awards, 13 number one singles in his solo career—more than any other male artist in the Hot 100 era—and the sales of over 750 million albums worldwide. Cited as one of the world's most famous men, Jackson's highly publicized personal life, coupled with his successful career, has made him a part of popular culture for almost four decades."

It's really one of those surreal deaths, where it's kinda hard to realize when it happens.

R.I.P, he was an outstanding musician and dancer.

Also, R.I.P to Farrah Farrow, although i'm not familiar with her.

Thought it was cardiac arrest?
Click to expand...
Most well-known cardiac arrest death cases are due to accidental drug overdoses, them being anti-depressants or sleeping pills (that slow down your heartbeat and tire you out). Others, just non-provoked accidents, like physical defects and/or crazy turns-of-events where they're put into an adrenaline rush or intense feeling.

So yeah, who knows, we'll know once the investigation's done and the news showed in a more detailed manner tomorrow.

Pretty insane stuff. He had some pretty great music. He had a lot of dirt on him, but looking at all this intense media coverage shows how huge he was.

Michael Jackson had amazing music. I'm still trying to absorb him being dead. It's just not hitting. I can't believe it at all.

I remember being scared whenever Thriller came on the tv. Our generation is the last to see him in heavy rotation on MTV, to see him release an album. However, talent is timeless, and he certainly will not be forgotten. RIP Mike.

I don't care what he may have done. Nobody deserves to have their life taken so suddenly like this. At least he lived until 50 - the second half of his life.

I thank him for the memories and favours he's done to people through his work. May he rest in peace.

RIP MJ. He was a great artist. Too bad most people recognize him for all the wrongs he has done that have happened.
