Michael Jackson dead at 50
Pop giant Michael Jackson, who took to the stage as a child star and set the world dancing to exuberant rhythms for decades, died on Thursday after being taken ill at his home, the Los Angeles Times said. He was 50.
“Pop star Michael Jackson was pronounced dead by doctors this afternoon after arriving at a hospital in a deep coma, city and law enforcement sources told The Times,” the newspaper reported on its website.
Earlier, the Los Angeles Times said the singer had been rushed to a Los Angeles-area hospital by fire department paramedics who found him not breathing when they arrived at the singer’s home.
The newspaper said paramedics performed cardiopulmonary resuscitation at the scene before taking him to the UCLA Medical Center hospital.

Jackson was the biggest pop-star in the history of pop music, I don’t think anybody was expecting anything like this, specially when nothing about his health was ever mentioned to the public, RIP the king of pop.

Still hard to believe Michael Jackson is gone

This was a horrible tragedy. We lost one of the worlds best salesman. Billy Mays was far more memorable, charismatic, and helpful than Michael Jackson whom the who loves to remember. We need to remember a man that literally transformed an industry. A man that was dedicatted to the best. Who we imitated, looked up to, and loved in his life as we shall continue to in his death. A death which leaves the world in comparative silence, in the wake of his strong voice. RIP, Billy Mays… We will remember you online when we use all CAPS to carry on your legacy.

Can’t get why so many folks are making such a big deal over Michael Jackson. He was just a fantastic performer and we should be happy he was on the scene.

Michael was truly the King of Pop. It’s really sad that we will never see this great performer ever again. My prayers go out to his children on this one year anniversary of his passing. I hope that doctor gets what’s coming to him.

A horrible tragedy this was. Billy Mays was one of the worlds greatest icons. Billy Mays was far more helpful, charismatic, and memorable than Michael Jackson whom the who loves to talk about. We need to remember a man that literally transformed an industry. A man who only produced the best that he could. Who we imitated, looked up to, and loved in his life as we shall continue to in his death. A death which leaves the world in comparative silence, in the wake of his strong voice. RIP, Billy Mays… We online will carry on your legacy when we use ALL CAPS to type.
