The "King of Pop", Michael Jackson, has died, aged 50.

Found in his bel air rented mansion unconcious and not breathing, he was rushed to hospital, where, to the sadness of people worldwide, he never regained conciousness.

He started out as a boy, in the Jackson 5, and lead 90% of his life in stardom, even with all the controversy, he is the biggest selling artist in the last 3 decades.

He was set to do 50 concerts in london later this year, concerts which he will sadly never be able to make.

RIP

My favourite song: YouTube - Michael Jackson - Earth Song

Never really cared for jacko, never liked him after the dangling baby off the balcony incident. As freddie mercury said, another one bites the dust.

what I like about him? he always pushed the limits of his techniques, he perfected his style and was a real show man...

like a person? 20 years ago I should had told him: drop the act...


p.s. Thanks for changing the title of the thread to something more respectful, few ppl try to diminish others accomplishments, I just hope they can crush google when they die
