Michael Jackson RIP?

Just heard on the news that it would appear that Michael Jackson has died in hospital from cardiac arrest i thought he was a very talented person all but a weird dude ...he was only 50.
Cheers

Bugger!!!! The Overstayer has just said he won't be going back for the concert then!!

MJ a very troubled soul!

Just watching on Sky news now, it seems he has died, but not confirmed as yet!

Apparently he's improving!! He's in a coma!!!!!

Its the 3 children I feel sorry for ~ what a strange life they are leading

lol i knew he'd find some way of getting out of doing those concerts...tho this is a bit drastic! []

Confirmed dead. RIP MJ, love him or hate he had a great talent and was a true entertainer.

BB im with you..what happens to the kids now?
He was a very talented man he often pops up on the music chanel from years ago an the teens cant believe that is him...he was such a cute young man...why would he end up the way he did...a very weired and troubled soul indeed...RIP lets hope your next life is a happier one.

Sort of loved him - very very talented and a real waste I reckon. Very similar to Elvis - not able to cope with all the fame and all the money and now a similar ending.

Yup he definately had an abundance of talent. such a shame he became so Bizzar. A very troubled and confused soul. I hope his kids now get some sort of normality for the rest of their lives.

I feel quite sad. He was certainly a bit odd and it was shocking to see his children out in public wearing masks - that's not how children should be raised. But he was an amazing musical talent. Perhaps Madonna could adopt his kids. I'm sure she has room to expand her collection.

For all his antics he was a talented musican. Hearing this makes me feel that another part of my childhood is gone as I grew up with his music. Maybe his kids will now have the chance of a fairly normal life..? but who knows, like Elvis he will probably make more money now hes gone so maybe it will help his estate out of financial distress. RIP Michael:(

My daughter and me went to his concert when he came to Auckland. What and amazing concert it was, we didn't want it to end. I still have the History cap I bought, but the T-Shirt has long ago worn out. I think he was one of the most talented muscians in the world. Just love the music. His other life was certainly bizzare and I don't know what to think about that. I too hope those kids get a more normal life now. I also thought he wouldn't go ahead with those concerts.

I am watching CNN at the moment and it is still unconfirmed he has died. Wish someone would come out and make a statement.

More for news hounds to dwell on to its confirmed. Talent on stage etc. none off I think IMHO

It's sad that the reality for people like Michael's family there is no such thing as privacy. I imagine many of them will have heard the news from the media rather than being told privately. That's sad.
