RIP Michael Jackson.
Quite a shock for me and I had been hoping he would do well on his 50+ scheduled gigs in the O2.

I was lucky enough to see him live in 1996 in the Amsterdam Arena and it was a thrilling and stunning show. The excitement in the arena was fantastic.

Michael Jackson no more.. that is quite unbelievable really..

perhaps its a little early to know for sure, based on speculative reports... (didn't meat get reported as having died in the past)....time will tell

**The Flying Mouse** · 26 Jun 2009, 00:44

CNN will still not confirm that he is dead.
Although the LA Times has already written their headlines.

Last confirmed news is that he is in a coma.

Don't think he'll be coming out of it though

AndrewG · 26 Jun 2009, 00:45

All the news reports just confirmed it. I would not have posted that otherwise.

MissAsh · 26 Jun 2009, 00:54

LA Times, Associated Press and BBC have confirmed it although CNN haven't yet.

MeatGrl1 · 26 Jun 2009, 01:38

I was not a fan particuarly of him as a person but he was part of LMP's life in 1994 and he did produce some awesome tunes, I can't believe he's died it just seems really surreal

. May he now be laid to rest.

I remember the first interview and they were asked if they have sex, Lisa replied;
"Do we have sex? Yes ! Yes! Yes!"

LOL.
The following year, 1995 she starred in his video, You Are Not Alone, one of my personal favourtes of his.

You Are Not Alone vid

It's very sad.

I wasn't a fan of Michael Jackson after he got older ... but I grew up listening to the Jackson 5. My sympathies to his family .. may he rest in peace.

And I'm sorry to go off topic here, but rest in peace Farrah Fawcett, who died today as well.

Don't believe everything bad you hear in the media about a single human being.

mszee · 26 Jun 2009, 03:07

Nigel Lithgoe is on TV now giving tribute to MJ

Ain't that the truth

**Monstro** · 26 Jun 2009, 03:22

It's a shame that someone who gave so much to the industry that completely ~~~~ed him up will probably just be remembered for all the wrong reasons.

MissAsh · 26 Jun 2009, 04:30

I can't believe a couple of the things I've seen while watching CNN tonight, it's actually made me feel physically sick.

I'd never say I'm a big "fan" but I've grown up with a lot of MJ's music and still listen to a few songs every now and again while in the mood for that music. This all seems so surreal.

R.I.P.

Michael, it's final. Scratch out the insane game. You fought it. You bought it. But Michael, you did make a change. Long may his star shine brightly.

Pudding · 26 Jun 2009, 06:26

That's one less child molestor off the streets, lets hope Gary Glitter is next.

**allrevvedup** · 26 Jun 2009, 06:39

Sad news, but as a performer he was something else up til the early 90's. He could never top thriller and i think he spent the rest of the time trying to do so.

Maybe this crazy schedule of concerts put too much pressure on him but hopefully he will be remembered for the good parts of his life and not the bad parts (which did exist unfortunately)

Pudding · 26 Jun 2009, 06:46

I wonder what was the turning point that sent him nuts

because he was one hell of a performer then he had a complete meltdown.

**RadioMaster** · 26 Jun 2009, 08:27

I'm shocked.
Nothing more to say.
