It's only been confirmed by TMZ. They better not be jumping to conclusions. Michael had been rushed to the hospital, and reports say that he later died.....................

WHAT??????? OMG!!!!!!!

Now they are saying that he is in a coma. TMZ should NEVER say that someone has actually died, before knowing all of the facts.

Well, it's interesting that TMZ is saying he's dead, and CNN is saying he's in a coma....IF this is true, that he's in a coma, TMZ is going to feel like a bunch of idiots! But maybe it's CNN who doesn't have the facts. Guess we'll just have to sit tight.

He's only 50 years old. I hope that he pulls through. TMZ people aren't reporters, they're paparazzi. How sad...................

The reports have been confirmed by CNN. Michael passed away.

It is confirmed...he is gone.

Deaths do come in 3's: Ed McMahon, Farrah Fawcett, and Michael Jackson.

this news sure took me by surprise!

Wow!!! :faint2:
I can't believe it!

learning this surprised me about as much as the news from a couple years ago that Anna Nicole Smith had passed away

This is a complete shock.

I'm shocked at how quickly news stations could get 'tribute segments' ready, you know? Here they were already doing tributes to Farrah! I watched an NBC special where they said he was most likely Anorexic (not a shock there), and if he was working out excessively trying to get his body ready for the upcoming tour, and taking medications combined with that, it is the most likely cause.

Wow, his death came as a complete shock!

Amy, I wondered why he would die of cardiac arrest at such a young age. That explains a lot.

My Sister saw it on Yahoo and she told me i was Shocked to i am not a fan of His at all but still it was a Shock

It was definitely a shock. I really felt for his brother when he held a press conference about Michael's passing.

I put together a short tribute to Farrah, Michael and Ed McMahon at my blog if you want to check it out.

That was a nice tribute, Cheryl. Although, I beg to differ that you were "a bit young" to watch the Tonight Show back in the days of Ed and Johnny. Just kidding!!

i wasn't a fan of him or his music...but iam sorry to here he has died! That's very sad!

I am sad most for his children. Michael is almost all they knew.
I really hope that all those that are in the music industry will be careful of all that can come with it.
It is a very hard life to lead, and often leaves many sad people left behind.

my mom went out to buy a Michael Jackson CD on Saturday, and the store she went to had no copies of any of his albums! that says how popular he is, and always will be

Yep, my deluxe edition was the last one on the rack....seems his creditors are going to get paid off after all!
