Currently being repeated on Sky News et al...
edit: Reuters now saying he was revived, no doubt it looked something like the video from "Thriller"

Not looking good though, shame that
As good as he was back in the day..
He really scared me.
Poor little kids, bullet in the back of the head would have cured this problem a while ago.
Shame anyway.

Sorry for his kids, I guess... kinda, although they're probably better off in a 'normal' world.

Never heard of him. Thought you were talking about Elvis. Seen him a few times in Morrisons buying pizzas and a 4 pack
he touched so many of us
inappropriately

OMG!!! what a shock.... lets hope he now finds the happiness and contentment he`s always craved R.I.P.
I told my mate he should have e-bayed his four tickets (think for the 02) a month ago. looks like I was right.

Actually that's how I feel, indifference, I thought I must be an uncaring git.
He was a huge star and others will be deeply shocked and saddened by his death, but I'm not.

he was great right up to thriller but his best work was omo from when he was a kid into his late teens.
Everything after Thriller sucked big time in comparison.

They may even go up n price now. You know how fanatical his fans can be, imgine owning tickets to The Concert That Never Was. The dude who released the white doves at his trial would want them for sure. If he aint already got 10 that is.

separate the man and his music from the freakshow that was his last few years and there's no denying his impact on popular music. off the wall, thriller and maybe to a slightly lesser extent bad were tremendous fantastic albums.
after that, well, who knows what took him over
it's a sad day, what will wierd al yankovic do for material now...

What's the difference between Michael Jackson and Sir Alex Ferguson.
Ferguson can still play giggs.
Proof that the credit crunch has reached Hell. The devil is now taking plastic

RIP, saw this yesterday when it first broke, think TMZ were the first to confirm. Yeah he was a bit odd, earlier music was better, but will still miss him - do love his music though!!

Reports of Michael Jackson having a heart attack in hospital are incorrect. He was in fact found in the children's ward, having a stroke.

Gotta say them last two are pretty good Hove, although I don't like the jokes, they are pretty good.
RIP Jacko, an extraordinary pop career, a man who reached many generations with his music. Yes, maybe he was a disturbed man, but, in his prime of his music career, he was untouchable!

26-06-09, 08:22 AM
Big news huh? i guess its analogous to when Elvis died
Maybe in death he'll be left alone. Sure, he was odd, but thats possibly why he was able to make good music...thinking outside the box all the time, and not keeping in with generic pop crap that gets spouted out all the time

I saw this on the news this morning, I couldnt believe it! I guess it was the stress that got to him in the end. I wonder what will happen to his children..
RIP MJ.

Woke up in my hotel room at 2 this morning, absoultely red hot, tv was on and there's the headline "michael jackson is dead"... woke up at 7 this morning when my alarm went off and thought 'what a strange dream I had last night'....
was never a fan at all and he scared me to death as a child, still sad news though

MJ dead!
I thought he died years ago, and had been holed up with Elvis waiting for his career to resurrect.
So much talent wasted when he went wacko. The old Michael will be missed by his friends and fans. But I doubt many, but his family will mourn the passing of the Michael of the last 5 years.

That's exactly what happened to me when Freddie Mercury died. Strange feeling eh?
As for Michael Jackson... extraordinary talent, complete nutter.
Reports of Michael Jackson having a heart
attack are incorrect.
He was found in the childrens ward having
a stroke.
Jockeys at tomorrow's race meetings will wear black armbands out of respect for Michael Jackson,
who successfully rode more three yr olds than anyone in living memory.
i heard that michael jackson is going to be melted down and made into LEGO blocks............ so the kids can play with him now!
All thi speculation about how he died, well here's the real story:
Police suspect a smooth criminal was responsible. He was not alone. There was apparently a man in the mirror who was very dangerous and wanted to start something even though MJ told him to beat it and was heard to say leave me alone. Nobody knows if the suspect was black or white..
The coroner is unsure what to put down as the cause of Michael Jackson's death. He doesn't know whether to blame it on the sunshine, the moonlight, the good times, or the boogie..
Don't blame me, I nicked it from another place
wow the jokes have already started :-s
I woke up to a joke on my phone before i even knew!
Starting with the man in the mirror...

yea same at 8am :smt120 i was hoping it was just a one off but i was wrong...well done guys =D>
never was a fan of his music, hope he is at peace now.
I had two tickets to the concerts in London. I was too young for the first lot of concerts, I always wanted to see him perform.
Totally Gutted. :(
Love him or hate him the man was a musical genius.
RIP Michael

Saw him during the Dangerous Tour in 1992 in Glasgow.
Was an amazing show.
I've steared clear of all MJ posts period, purley because of the haters...
Thankfully the first I click on isn't bad (well this pages posts anyway).
I had tickets, i am totally gutted. Memories of sitting on my windowsill, whislt raining, MJ blaring from the ghettoblaster... Or sitting watching the sat morning music show.
I loved his music, he was a ledgend, im quite gutted. I was due to go the end of this month :(

I remember GMTV (I think) had an aerobics spot that was taken over for a couple of weeks that did a step by step (couple of moves a day) tutorial for how to do the main dance sequence from Thriller...
I probably would have considered tickets to see him in the upcoming months if the whole gig thing wasnt such a rip-off.

Yep, 'tis a shame
Some forums I've been on I've not replied to threads because of the "glad the kiddy fiddler's in hell now" type of posts
The facts remain, the guy was acquitted of the most recent charges regarding any inappropriate behaviour after the evidence was collected.
The first round of accusations were settled out of court, what kind of person takes someone to court after being "abused" and then settles? Only someone more interested in the money than any justice court proceedings might bring.
RIP MJ, you were weird, but evil you weren't:cool:
Love him or hate him the man was a musical genius.
who didn't write any of his major hits himself, the guy was a puppet for the marketing machine, probably the first true "empty" celebrity, his only true skill was dancing backwards...

not his singing then?
Will people say the same about Gary Glitter when he dies? Musical genius or good riddance to a paedo?

huge difference is Glitter has been convicted
Only because he didn't have $19,000,000 to pay his victims off.
