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 cannot seem to face the realization that Michael is gone, this young muscian who I shared a lifetime with is gone, and it seems so unreal, but God Listens to all who call, MJ called for rest and peace, which he could not get here on this living earth. God heard his cries and brought him home to rest, so that he will be able to do his next assignment, this journey that we humans are on is just a journey to get us ready for the true life that we are going to leave and that is eternal life, what we are doing here on earth is just a dress rehersal to see if we can handle the eternal life that Jesus has promised you and me and Michael RIP until the horn sounds for you to arise again.

R.I.P Michael Jackson
U may be gone but never forgotten
Imitated but never duplicated
U wil alwayz b remembered as the King Of Pop
The life and legacy wil always be remembered as an inspiration
for young and upcoming artist
Dont mourn over his death celebrate his life and
achievments
Wen I got older I always hoped i’d hav the chance
to meet you
But I feel like I already knew him cause wen
they said he died I felt like I lost apart of my soul
So again I say R.I.P Michael Jackson

I hope Michael Jackson knew before he left us that he was loved by so many. I am sure after the last few years it may of seem like he lost alot of his fans.But once you seen Michael and watched and heard him you had to love him, and that isnt something people forget. Once a Michael Jackson fan always a Michael Jackson fan. I always thought the media expected perfection from him even in his personal life. Michael like the rest of us was human and also had the given right of learning from mistakes as we grow. God Bless his Family, The media still hasnt been very kind with some of the coverage they continue to show of the tv the passed week and a half. He lived to be different and i admire his ability to be true to himself as much as he could. That God for Different or this world would be very Boring and dull. We love you Michael.

Michael Jackson, simply the best. I will always cherish his music, his kind heart and many talents. He is and always will be a true angel. He called for change a long time ago, wanted the world to come together. Michael has done no wrong in my eyes. Loved everything about him. Miss you Michael May you finally rest in peace



Mattieb Said on

To Michael family, may God be with you always. I am so very sorry for your lost. I feel your pain, you see I lost my sister two days after Michael died. We had her funeral on the same day, of Michael. Also, my Mother maidnes name is Jackson to. It is very hard to lose a brother or sister. I am going to always keep her in my heart. She was not frame, however she was so special to us. May she and Michael rest in peace.



Charlene Said on

My Heart and prayers goes out to the jackson family and michael will certainly be missed . I think people should’nt have waited until his death to commend him for being an icon . He was truly the greatest, and he should have been reconized long before he died for his many talents…………



Pennie Said on

Though I was shocked and deeply saddened by the news of Michael Jackson’s passing, through all the sadness, I remembered all the wonderful childhood, teenage, and adult memories as well. A short time before his passing, I spoke to one of my children about my first Jackson 5 concert in 1974 when I was just six, all the way up to the victory tour in 1984 letting her know that once you’ve experienced a MJ concert, you have truly been to a concert because there is none other like it. My prayers and condolences goes out to every member of the Jackson family. You will forever be loved as an icon, a son, a brother and a father. As so many in the world loves you, I love you. Rest in peace Michael Jackson.
