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 love Michael Jackson because he was the only celebrity I knew that touched so many lives and I think they way they treated him was horrible. Michael Jackson taught me that if you are going to be a music artist then write what’s in your heart not what might make you the best. He will always be number one in my heart and alway loved.

When I heard that Michael had passed away it hit me so deeply. I remember when I was only a teenager dancing my first slow dance to “The Lady In My Life”.. As I think back then it saddens me and I am in tears as I type this message. I know I will never forget what magic he brought to music. No matter what changes he went through in his life one would never see in in his many performances. I cried the entire live memorial in remembrence that the world will never have another like him. My prayers go out to his entire family and his children. I can truly say that I will never stop listening to his music..He will live on forever. He is truly a Timeless Wonder and though he is not here physically he will remain still in my memories.

As a young bi-racial teenager growing up in a group home in the carolinas in the early 80’s which had an all white population, far from my family in Atlanta, I used to listen to my “Off the Wall” record all the time. I truly believe through the words and melody of the songs that Michael sung, I was able to survive discrimination, puberty and loneliness. Also, the absence of my African-American father in my life was bearable when listening to the soulful sounds of the songs off the album. When the album “Thriller” came out I was so proud to see someone that looked like me and that was so talented and accepted among those who I saw as racist around me. For this I thank my Father God for sharing the gifts through Michael Jackson to heal, inspire and relate. Much Love to Michael and the Jackson family.
