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 still remember when I was just seven years old and my sisters would play Michael Jacksons music It was awesome. Since then i’ve had fond memories of my childhood. So, everytime a song of Michael Jackson is on the radio or at a party I remember. Michael Jackson will live in my heart forever…. He was everything a great!!! dancer, writer,and singer and father. Most of all he was an amazing human being that cared for children around the world. Thats what really counts how a person is inside and he had it all even though he felt like he didn’t. My condolences go to the Jackson’s family. May God Bless You!!! And Help you during this difficult time of grief. Michael Jackson I will Always love your music. You will be missed. Michael Jackson is a forever Legend words just cant describe him.

Michael Jackson is an unforgettable legend in the music world. I grew up listening to his music, which is absolutely amazing in every way.The last concert with his brothers was so spectacular. His great work in our world will not be seen or heard again> Michael was a once in a life time individual. Thank You Michael Jackson for the work you’ve done. “Let the work I’ve done,speak for me”.

Shay Shay Said on

I still cannot believe he is gone, I am so sad and heart broken, I know what the family is going through. I want to say thank you for allowing the world who loved him to share in your grief and at the same time I know you all need your private time. Thanks for allowing us to say goodbye as well we also loved him. He will truly be missed, I will also miss his music and what other videos that he would have created. Unfortunately we all have our time some sooner than we would like. But I am thankful to have known him in the music world for at least most of his career I am not that much younger than he is. I wish other generations will experience such an icon in their lifetime. Greatness is hard to come back. My god bless his family in this time of sorrow and all the fans. RIP MJ.

Michael was a musical genius and will always be missed. There will never be another entertainer of this caliber. I would like to see a school or children’s center dedicated to his memory. The Michael Joseph Jackson School of Dance has a nice ring to it, don’t you think?

I can measure my life in Michael’s music… Every one of his songs for me takes me back to a time when my life was not the very best for a child, but some how Michaels golden voice got me threw. HE brought me up when I saw sad… made me happy when I was mad.. And helped me to dream. Michael is far more then just an entertainer, an Icon a legend, he was the master of illusion slight of hand if you will. He could do things that defied the laws of gravity… Michael some how knew just how to speak to the world and get them to listen. He made every one want to dance… and I believe we could all see the music. He was what no other artist can ever be… The full package and more. Song writer,
Singer
Dancer
Fashion icon
Actor
Friend
Brother
Son
Father
Inventor
Inspiration
Icon
King of Pop!
There will never be another like Michael. There are those who come close, but there can only be one Michael Jackson. My heart brakes every time I think about how he died so suddenly after looking so healthy and infront of his son. This is too tragic for anyone to go threw let alone a small child. I hope that the press and the public allow the Jackson family to go threw this perocess with their privicy intact. Respect the family and let them be. Please leave Michael and his family alone. Time to allow the healing to begin. And i pray that Katherine gets full custody of Michael Jr, Paris, Michael II . As she is the only family they know and are happy with now that their daddy is gone… Any man can be a father.. But Michael wasnt just any man.. he was more then that because he was A DADDY! And his children loved him and he them… Sleep well my friend, I’ll see you soon.. When you wake up.

Che Said on

There is only one Michael Jackson and nobody can ever take his place..It just saddens me that he lived the rest of his life amidst turmoil, debt and tabloid news about his eccentric lifestyle..he should have been given a chance to uplift himself..and his death just did that..he will always be remembered as the man who shaped the music for our generation..

Rest in peace Michael Jackson..our sympathy goes out to your family..

Robin Jones Said on

I too, was saddened to hear that Michael Jackson had died on what was a joyous day for me. One of my daughter’s had a birthday and my son graduated from HS. But MJ has entertained us for years, has given to his community as well as others. God places all of us on earth for a purpose and once God feels our purpose is filled he will come and get his children. I am happy that I was able to enjoy his music because he set the standards for other R & B artists to follow. Let’s remember GOD makes NO MISTAKES and when it’s your time GOD will come for you and you will receive the ultimate reward. God bless and comfort the entire Jackson family especially his three children as they grieve over a great loss to them. Find Peace Michael, Robin Jones



Peggy Said on

Michael Jackson wanted to “make a difference” in this world, and he did just that. The world, this universe, will not be the same without him. Michael did not die in vain. His greatness and his wisdom will live on through his music. We all will cry for him. We will mourn the emptiness in our hearts. Michael died in his sleep. The melodies were playing as he passed on to his glory. RIP Michael.

God bless and comfort the Jackson family.



Angela Brown Said on

MICHAEL JACKSON WAS TOO BIG FOR THIS WORLD AND GOD HAS TRULLY GOTTEN A GREAT ANGEL WHEN HE CALLED MICHAEL TO COME HOME. MICHAEL WILL FOREVER BE A SHINING STAR IN THE EYES OF MILLIONS. HE WILL BE TRULLY MISSED. HIS SISTER SAID IT BEST ” TO THE MILLIONS OF FANS WHO LOVE MICHAEL, TO YOU HE WAS AN ICON, BUT TO US HE WAS FAMILY. PART OF ME DOESN’T AND CAN’T BRING MYSELF TO BELIEVE THAT HE’S GONE, BECAUSE ITS JUST TO PAINFUL TO BE TRUE. I WILL FOREVER KEEP HIM IN MY HEART AND I CAN’T WAIT UNTIL THE DAY I FINALLY GET TO MEET HIM SO HE CAN TEACH ME TO MOONWALK (LOL). MY HEART AND PRAYERS GO OUT TO HIS FAMILY. I LOVE YOU MIKE. MAY YOU FINALLY GET THE PEACE YOU DESERVE….RIP THE KING OF POP
