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 am yet to believe that Michael Jackson is dead. How can he? If that is the case, MUSIC IS DEAD! I have very little reason to continue to like what is in the world, as Michael who happens to be one of the many reasons why my world is sweet is gone.
His death has left me “Speechless”. And “I just can’t stop loving…” him. He spoke to my soul in ‘The Man in the mirror” but he’s “Gone too Soon”.
To know Michael, you need to listen to his music. He poured his whole essence into his music and I believe it was his way of worshipping his Creator, with all his heart and soul.
He will never be forgotten, I will always ‘Remember the Time” when your music touched my soul. May God keep you in his bossom and give you that peace you’ve always longed for. May care for the children and family you left behind… Take heart Marlon Jackson, my brother in faith.

I was in a state of shock when I heard that MIchael was gone. As a child of the 70’s, my life cenbtered around Michael’s music. I am hurt and feel as though I have lost a family member today. We cannot show MIchael enough honor in my opinion. MIchael was true royalty…a class act. The world has lost the greatest entertainer who ever lived. There will never be anyone who can match his genious. He is a true icon and somene African Americans could be proud of. I miss you Michael and I will always love you. Now you can finally rest and be left alone.
My stomach tightens whenever i see pics, i feel sick. it hurts.
Michael u came, u saw, u conquered!! U have left your mark on this planet and u will be missed. Now u are at a place where there will be no one bringing u down, no more sleepless nights and no more pain. Rest well my friend, REST WELL.
I am saddened by your death. I have always loved your music. The song you singed ‘Gone too Soon” describes your life to me.
I will always love you
Promise

This has got to be worse time ever, I feel as though a member of my family has passed away, I grew up with him, he was my brother, I love him too!! Michael sent a message of brotherhood and fellowship throughout the world! He gave so much of himself and expected nothing in return! He not only transcended racial barriers to become the “King of Pop” he is and forever will be the King of all Music! No other performer, entertainer or actor in whatever genre you choose, will ever come close to the consummate being that was Michael Jackson when he hit that stage….WOW!! UNPRECEDENTED!!!
My eyes are crying, my heart is sad, yet I take comfort in knowing that our Dearest Michael is resting peacefully in God’s arms. My deepest sympathy and sincere condolences I extend to the entire Jackson family and friends. I pray that our Heavenly Father will comfort your hearts and ease your minds during this time of bereavement.
Thank you Michael, for being the kind, caring, loving and gentle spirit that our Creator intended for all of us to be. Thank you for bestowing upon us your legacy of magnificent, memorable music, marvelous, magical moves, and melodic, meaningful lyrics for us to cherish for years to come! Rest in peace my friend.
Love you always,
Ms K
