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.

Tiffany Taylor Said on

My Heart is sent out to the Jackson Family. I know that its hard losing the World’s Greatest American Icon. I love Michael Jackson from him being in the Jackson 5 up till him going solo. My heart sank when he passed away, and the same day that he passed away, I was graduating. When i was getting my diplioma, I just broke down crying. There are no words that express Michael Jackson. There will be no one like MJ aka the King of Pop….My family has every album that Michael ever made. But we will miss him dearly…..ugh it’s just hard talking about him. R.I.P Michael Jackson 1958 – 2009



Lynn Moore Said on

First, my sympathy goes out to the Jackson’s family. Loosing Michael Jackson is like loosing one of my family member bc i grew up with him even though not physically but spiritually. I remember watching the Jackson 5 cartoon,hanging all of his posters on my walls,listening to his music,and I had to have one of his jackets. Michael Jackson was one of my favorite music artist and there will never be another one like the original Michael Jackson. Also,I wish people would let go of all the negative comments.If you dont have nothing good to say,dont say nothing at all! LOVE YA Michael Jackson and you will be missed.
R.I.P!



Tay Said on

Micheal Jackson such a great musical icon will be missed greatly…this is such a shock. My heart goes out to his family and friends!

Michael Jackson’s music was the type that if you were feeling low play a song from him you forget how bad you felt. Also helped young kids feel like they were loved. My favorite song from michael jackson is you are not alone.Because he’s telling people your not alone and theres still someone out there who cares and loves you and I feel that he’s saying when he dies phyiscally his spirit is still here. And to me he influenced more young people than adults.The message I got from michael was he loved me even when I didn’t love my self. I love you michael R.I.P
