Apparently micheal jackson died today of a cardiac arrest, been poping up on news sites within the last hour or so.
Waiting for confirmation, but seems pretty genuine.
-
Look at TMZ.com. I'd call that pretty confirmed.
-
Just came up on the CBS Evening News. Goodnight, sweet prince.

Thats not that reliable tight butthole.
Though apparantly it has now been confirmed by city and emergancy services that he has died.
In other news CNN are !@#$% retards!
A quote from what I saw on their news channel.
"so essentially you are saying Cardiac Arrest is worse then a heart attack?"
-

1 Unreliable Source != Confirmation
However I'm watching it live on a bbc stream atm. Apparently half the news agencys are saying he's in a coma, the others are saying he's died.
-
I liked his influence on the music of Sonic 3 & Knuckles and how his harsh childhood gave him creativity and tragedy.
-
@cnnbrk on Twitter is now saying he's in a coma...?
-

After what I heard from them I wouldn't even trust that tight butthole.
-

Apparently he was pronounced dead at the hospital after arriving in a deep coma.
EDIT: Confirmed on BBC, enough for me.
-
Also confirmed on NBC, CBS, and the L.A. Times.
God, this sucks.
-
The King of Pop can finally rest in peace. Good night, sweet prince. ;-;!
-
I will never moonwalk in the same way.
-
And now after years of mocking him the
pretending he played a massive part in our lives when really we couldn't care less just to ease our consciounse over said mocking healing can begin <_<
It's Steve Irwin all over again.

Exactly, RIP Micheal Jackson... why do I feel like playing Moonwalker?
-
The thing that bothers me right now is that Al Sharpton is talking about it.

It's Steve Irwin Jade Goody all over again.
Steve Irwin actually did something useful and was a generally nice guy compared to that !@#$% stain on society. And MJ was a legendary musician.

R.I.P. Michael Jackson.
On a side note, why the hell is this under gaming and entertainment >=/.

The Pop King's an entertainer, or was one.

Your cynicism makes you cool and different. Did you ever consider the fact that MJ was an incredibly talented musician and entertainer as a reason he'll be missed?
-
Michael Jackson and Ferrah Fawcett dead on the same day.
I was a fan of Michael, more when I was younger but I am sad that he's dead.
It's hard to believe that we won't see him have his come back, which was going to happen next week. :(
He will be missed.
-
eventhough people said he was gay, I always respected him, :/ this sucks I really wanted to see him on a concert :/:/.
-
As big an icon as he was, I honestly don't know how people can get upset over someone they never knew.

Being a fan of his music, and such. How would you feel if your favorite musician passed away at an early age? (yes... 50 is early.) Not saying MJ was my FAVORITE musician, but I've enjoyed his music literally my entire life.
-
Just came up on the CBS Evening News. Goodnight, sweet prince.
Wait... one of his kids died too? Was it Michael Joseph Jackson, Jr. , ("Prince"), or was it Prince Michael Jackson II, ("Blanket")?
...I'm going to go straight to hell, (or some equally hellish equivalent), aren't I? 8)

Yes.

Yes.
Just checking.
To be honest, I am bothered by his death. Say what you will about him, but he was a damned talented performer. I'm also going to miss the bizarre news stories that popped up from time to time involving him in some way or another.
I dunno, as bothersome as it may be, it doesn't seem right that people should be any more upset by the death of a celebrity than any other random stranger's death. When was the last time any of you did so much as bat an eyelash when reading the obituary for someone you never knew?
-
I get upset when I hear of customers from my store passing away ;[
-
The guy made some good music. At least in his earlier years, don't know so much about the late 90's and the new millennium. But for the rest I don't even care for the guy. My condolences to the family, but I won't be grieving.

Your powers of accurate observation makes you cool and different. Did you ever consider the fact that MJ was an incredibly talented musician and entertainer as a reason he'll be missed?
I'm just amused that 99% or more of the people posting in this thread have took pop-shots at this celebrity at some time or another :)
I'm not saying his death isn't tragic or whatever (que hippy-all-death-is-tragic-'cause-i-love-the-world-speech), just noting the trend of "Hahahaha look at this !@#$% moron and watch as I pummel him with this large stick with poop on it and now he's dead noo I loved him!" ;D
His death doesn't actually affect me myself either way and commenting on this indifference would be pointless and boring, and arguably cruel...or not, depends what counts as cruel.
-
I'm really bummed out over this :\
-
ITT: TheDarkJay is feeling guilty about making fun of Michael Jackson. ;___;

"99% or more of the people in this have took pop-shots at this celebrity"
Really? when?
Whilst I agree its shallow if someone suddenly acts sad over a celebritys death just for attention, I just dont see that as being the case here.
-
Is pop-shot the right word? What I mean is: go back a few years...most people were calling him a pedophile, something which jokes have been made off at his expense to this very day (or yesterday, should I say). Instant he dies, it's like that never happened. Michael holding a baby over a balcony, Steve Irwin holding a baby whilst feeding a crocodile. Death apparently changes things.
'tis merely an observation I have made ^_^
Then again whenever anybody dies, their so-called achievements are blown taken out of proportion and their failings ignored. If you listen to obituaries only you'd believe everybody was a saint.
"A talented artist and well-known public figure, his voice and message spread across the globe, influincing the lives of countless people. Today, we lay to rest: Adolf Hitler."
EDIT: Just to clarify, I am not comparing Michael Jackson to Adolf Hitler.
CBA-TR version: Not saying death is not a tragedy, just making passing comment on a trend I've noticed after the death of an individual.
*groans* Know what? I'll admit that the original comment may have been inappropriate in some manner. I have a habit of not realising a comment is inappropriate and coming across as cruel or something like that as a result. I apologise.

I know that I don't get myself up to date with latest news of the rich and famous and I couldn't care less what they do in their personal lives. But did I miss something. Was it just a stage of everyone hates MJ or did he actually got accused of being a pedophile?

It isn't that their achievements are blown out of proportion. Your quote about Adolf Hitler is even true. And like most obituaries they are true, but they most of the time neglect the darker side of the person.

I was editing that post when you replied to say "took out if proportion and their failings ignored" and to add some more things to the end ^^

There was a huge court case that near enough ruined his career and put him into huge amounts of debt. He was however proven innocent.
-
it's a shame all the kiddies are just going to remember this guy as that wacky pedophile
even though he was proven innocent and did a !@#$% of a lot more in his career
-
I didn't know he couldt die :P
-
*shrug* He did do some crazy stuff, and I'll admit I worried about him for a while. But near the end he cleaned himself up and was touring again. No matter how crazy the stuff you do, talent is talent.
-
Damn, and here I am thinking that yesterday at the same time I was thinking about listening to Billy Jean. Instead I put some rap on. :( This made me really sad when I first heard about it, t'was this morning, one of my friends came over to me and yelled 'Yeah! Did you hear? MJ's dead! Hi5 :D' I said wtf and didn't believe him at first. 'Cause they all hate MJ.
I'm not one to believe those pedophile stories that were made up by some kid who needed some money ('some' as in 23 Millions of dollars, heh.)
I had a sad face all day. :( Not because I 'really' cared about the guy but... I mean, he was 51 years old! (or 50 can't remember), it just made me think, anything could happen to you anyday anytime and you never know what will happen next. That's what got me kinda sad.
Although this is a big loss in the world of music. =/
R.I.P. man.

I found out about this in a weird way. I was in Manchester seeing Russel Howard live, and one the way back a guy shouted it out of a car at me and my friends, pulled over and showed us the stuff on his internet phone.

An amazing song made by various music stars to tribute Michael Jackson.

I always loved Michael Jackson, discovered him with Thriller when I was young, scared the !@#$% ouf of me but it was awesome, his other songs too. RIP Michael, I love you man.
-
Man, I didn't really listen to his music, but his moves we're great.
It's sad he died <_<
By the way, the AVGN made a video about him http://blip.tv/play/AYGM2A2Pp34 (http://blip.tv/play/AYGM2A2Pp34)
I always asked myself how he could accomplish singing such high tones..
-
Could be worse; he coulda been found dead with a shoelace tied around his genitals :x (DAVID CARRADINE, WHO APPARENTLY NONE OF YOU CARE ABOUT >=^( )
-
Sorry Mammy, but I have no idea who David Carradine is.

He was the star of the oooold ass 70's series "Kung Fu", and he was Bill in Kill Bill... Also had a lead role in Death Race 2000... etc
He's amazing :(
-
Oh he is an actor. Do you know of how many actors I know the real names. You can count them on one hand. Never cared about the actors, only the movies.

Either way; they just released new details on MJ's death, and even a post-autopsy photo :(
