Recommended Posts

CNN just said he is only in a coma and not died

la times is the only one saying it..don't know how they have this info, but none of the other media outlets are risking saying it if it's true.

The Los Angeles Times reports that Michael Jackson has died at age 50 after being rushed to UCLA Medical Center.

Los Angeles Fire Department Capt. Steve Ruda told the newspaper that Jackson was not breathing when paramedics arrived at his home and CPR was performed.

TMZ.com reported that he may have suffered cardiac arrest.

E! News reports online that Jackson's father, Joe Jackson, said, "I am in Las Vegas but, yes, people in Los Angeles called me and are with Michael and tell me he was taken to the hospital. His mother is on her way to the hospital now to check in on him. I am not sure what's wrong. I am waiting to hear back from them."

Jackson, 50, was preparing for a comeback bid with a series of London concerts scheduled to begin in July.

Jackson was born on August 29, 1958, in Gary, Indiana, the seventh of nine children. Five Jackson boys ? Jackie, Tito, Jermaine, Marlon and Michael ? first performed together at a talent show when Michael was 6. They walked off with first prize and went on to become a best-selling band, The Jackson Five, and then The Jackson 5.

Jackson made his first solo album in 1972, and released ?Thriller? in 1982, which became a smash hit that yielded seven top-10 singles. The album sold 21 million copies in the United States and at least 27 million worldwide.

The next year, he unveiled his signature ?moonwalk? dance move while performing ?Billie Jean? during an NBC special.

In 1994, Jackson married Elvis Presley?s only child, Lisa Marie, but the marriage ended in divorce in 1996. Jackson married Debbie Rowe the same year and had two children, before splitting in 1999. The couple never lived together.

Jackson has three children named Prince Michael I, Paris Michael and Prince Michael II, known for his brief public appearance when his father held him over the railing of a hotel balcony, causing widespread criticism.

CNN is reporting that the LA Times and CBS news are reporting that he's dead, but they haven't confirmed it.

Not sure how I feel, I never really paid much attention to Jackson nor did I really like his music, but it's a sad day for his family and fans.

BBC News have NOT confirmed it - they're being very cautious about it. But it's not looking good.

Regardless of what you thought of Jacko, he was an absolute legend in our lifetime. There are very few people like him amongst us any more :(

Two allegations one of which he settled out of court (Guilty) ergo hes a pedophile .

Give the man some respect, he's changed pop/rnb music forever. This thread isn't about his guilt or innocence, its about a great man who gave his life to music and people the world over love him for it.

Go troll elsewhere.

Changed your comment there, HacKage? Telling me I was looking silly? I just took a screenshot of the BBC News website and I'm listening to BBC News RIGHT NOW. They have not confirmed it. You made yourself look silly before you edited your comment to retract what you just said.
