More bad news this week. After Ed McMahon and Farrah Fawcett, Michael Jackson has now left us. First, reports surfaced the pop icon suffered cardiac arrest. Published reports claimed he collapsed in his Holmby Hills mansion shortly after noon. He was taken to UCLA Medical Center in Los Angeles, California.
CNN reported Jackson was being administrated CPR in the ambulance. Then, TMZ broke the news that Michael Jackson passed. CBS News, The LA Times and CNN soon confirmed.
Michael Jackson was preparing for 50 sold-out shows overseas and rehearsing in California. Jackson was only 10 years old when he and his brothers, The Jackson 5, signed with Motown in 1968. Michael and his brothers would become one of the biggest groups of all time with Michael as solo artist becoming the biggest pop star in the world. Throughout controversy and scandal, no one could ever take away Michael’s title as the King of Pop.
Michael was allegedly plagued with health problems for years — Lupus, vitiligo and an addiction to pain killers.
Michael Jackson will be deeply missed by fans and the BET family. Please leave your condolences in the comments.

I have had a sad heart for all the negative things that have gone on with Michael over the years. I always wished he would have not had such a troubled life. I admired him as a child, at that time he looked a lot like my own wonderful son who is just a few years younger than Michael. I am truly sadden today because of his death.
