fix-this! Posted June 25, 2009 Share Posted June 25, 2009 (edited) Pop star Michael Jackson has died in Los Angeles, aged 50. Paramedics were called to the singer's home around midday local time on Thursday after he stopped breathing and suffered a suspected cardiac arrest. He was rushed by ambulance to a local medical centre, but his death was announced shortly afterwards. The star, who had a history of health problems, had been due to begin a series of comeback concerts in the UK on 13 July. Jackson had a history of health problems and had not completed a concert tour in 12 years. BBC News "This thread has just undergone a MASSIVE cleaning to the tune of 137 posts. Let's keep it civil, trolling will not be tolerated." warwagon Edited June 26, 2009 by warwagon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PNWDweller Posted June 25, 2009 Share Posted June 25, 2009 (edited) Yikes! Not enough time in the 'ol oxygen chamber lately? J/K. It has been said that things happen in 3's. If this is the case, then we have Ed McMahon as the first star to die this week, Farah Fawcett today, and I would hope nobody else, but I have seen the pattern before....Makes one wonder... Hopefully he makes a recovery and stays out of trouble. Foxnews has live video of the outside of his house for some reason....

08993 Posted June 25, 2009 Share Posted June 25, 2009 Call my cynical but I don't believe it. How is MJ allowed to sell tickets to gigs he doesn't show up for due to whatever illness he has on that occasion over and over? Taken from the BBC report "He has a history of health problems and has not completed a concert tour in 12 years." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vip Posted June 25, 2009 Share Posted June 25, 2009 why is everyone hoping he's ok? just because he had some good records and all that ... he's still a freaking pedophile, and that by no means is ok. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lqv2015 Posted June 25, 2009 Share Posted June 25, 2009 Guess they do come in 3. As a musician, I truly loved him. I didn't care too much about the sideshow freak that he was. But still, a true legend that influenced me heavily when I first got into music as a kid. He will be missed. RIP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
