News breaking that Michael Jackson has died.
All unconfirmed at the moment.
Just heard he is in a coma.

Either way, its very sad, I love his music. Was listening to it this evening.

Very sad indeed. TMZ reports that he's dead already. Supposedly a suicide act, I read he took 2 dozen sleeping pills. Tragic.

Farrah Fawcett did die though. Would be crazy to have 2 major celebs die in one day, and 3 in one week.

so far, its only stemmed from TMZ, so i hope they havent made a mistake, but if this is the case, im very sad, indeed.

I loved his music, i remember being 9 or 1 years old, getting my first copy of "bad" on cassette. he was a big inspiration to me and helped shape my musical taste :sad:

Very sad indeed, one of the first artists I got into as well. Extremely gifted. May he rest in peace.

an entire block of the hospital has been closed off to keep fans from engulfing the place.

this sucks he was my musical idol when i was a kid

a sad end to a controversial life

also i usually enjoy the harsh jokes but it did amaze me how quick people were onto this with "i got some dead cheap michael jackson tickets", even i found it in bad taste.

once again a sad day :(

p.s it doesn't really surprise me that he died young
