Michael Jackson dies

[Famine]

BBC and Sky News are currently carrying this breaking story...

BBC - Jackson admitted to hospital following cardiac arrest

Sky News are reporting that, according to the TMZ website, Jackson has in fact died...

 

[Wardy 944]

Just seen this, very sad indeed, despite all the weirdness he was still one of the greatest entertainers of our time.

 

[TB]

That's certainly one way to get out of going to the O².

 

[Alex.]

I'm ashamed to say I laughed at the above post.

RIP Michael.

 

[Mr P]

I just heard this also

I was a massive fan of his music and ignored the dark side allegations of his life

R.I.P Michael sadly missed Never forgotten!

 

[Pako]

Huh, big news never the less. Seems pretty young but he did a lot and brought some great music to everyone.

 

[Perfect Balance]

How reliable is TMZ? I haven't seen anything else that said he was actually dead.

 

[Mr P]

edited as the news is not definite now

 

[Moglet]

I predicted this the day the tickets went on sale. They must have known something was wrong with him...

I've never been a fan, he scared the hell out of me and didn't like any of his songs. It's sad that he's died, as it is when anyone passes away, but it's not as sad as the sight of the fans going OTT at the news.

 

[Joey D]

Eh the news here is just saying he's in a coma, not dead. It's coming from the LA Time apparently.

I don't think TMZ isn't the most accurate source of news.

This sounds Bad.

 

[Diego440]

This sounds Bad.

Dammit! I was going to say that!

Just Beat It daan!

 

[Danny]

Elaborate thriller remake coming?

R.I.P to a legend.

 

[Mr P]

sky news updated and it is definitely confirmed now


R.I.P Jacko

 

[Wardy 944]

L.A. Times are now saying he's dead and not in a coma.

 

[Sharky.]

This sounds Bad.

Has he died or not? The reports are conflicting

 

[Touring Mars]

I'm shocked and saddened by this if it turns out to be true...

 

[Legendary]

Just got a text about an hour ago saying this:

MJ is dead heart attack

Yes that is word for word. I was wondering, who the hell is MJ? So I left it, now that I've seen this thread It makes sense. I doubt the heart attack bit is completely right.

Anyway, R.I.P Jackson.

 

[Appie]

Such a massvie loss and was a big fan of his.

R.I.P Micheal Jackson

 

[Joey D]

Yup now it's being confirmed and all I can think of is the "Knock You Down" lyrics with some modifications.

"This is dead, real dead Michael Jackson. Now the entertainment world is sad, real sad Joe Jackson"

 

[DQuaN]

BBC news is still saying it's unconfirmed.

 

[SR-71_Blackbird]

So, Michael Are You OK?
Are You OK Michael?
You've Been Hit By
You've Been Hit By - A smooth criminal

RIP

I didn't know he was that ill.

Sad, although I have my opinions about him. However, I really like some of the songs he made, back in the early to mid 90's.

 

[DQuaN]

BBC have confirmed it now. RIP.

 

[Slick Rick]

RIP Michael. Always been a big fan of him and his music.

 

[G.T]

R.I.P to a legend...

 

[itgirlxx]

BBC have confirmed it now. RIP.

They were the last of all the major news channels to confirm.

RIP MJ

 

[Robin]

Yeah BBC took a while after ITV to confirm it.

You can change the question mark in the thread title now.

Well... RIP to a lengend, pity he didnt make it to his final tour. All the recient stress must have just done it for him.

I guess that it will be good now that his kids can live a more normal life.

Robin.

 

[Strittan]

R.i.p

Sad day to someone who has always been around and contributed so much to music, and love or hate him he helped shape pop music.

I heard there were plans to cremate him but the plastic gums up the furnace so the decision was made to recycle him.
