Michael Jackson

[????]

...not that well, and I don't just mean in the head

[Sharon_H]

Sky news reporting that he has died. Quite a shock.

[????]

..I heard he'd just gone to hospital unconcious...but that sounds like an update

[Mick Mac]

TMZ website say he suffered a cardiac arrest this afternoon (presumably US time 5.20 pm = approx 10.20 pm UK time) and they were unable to revive him.

Jackson reported as dead

[ratty]

dead. That must have hurt!

[AllyCat]

BBC are being non-committal - but other sites saying he's dead....

Farrah Fawcett died too today.....

[Mrs Y]

Shocked! RIP MJ and thoughts with his children

[AllyCat]

BBC have now confirmed the news....

[Mrs Y]

Reuters has also confirmed

R.I.P, Legend.

Just got a text from my friend telling me, and thought it was going to be some rude joke or something. Feel really shocked and weird, he has been a huge celebrity for one reason or other all through my life.

Well, without wanting to sound corny, I hope he has found peace or something. The man was clearly not well, whether or not all the worst allegations were true.

Wrote some absolute tunes though!

[Mick Mac]

well said keef. That sums it up appropriately.

I'm not sure I believe it. The BBC has dead in quotes - why's that then? I wouldn't be surprised if it's a stunt to get out of the O2 gigs which he really doesn't want to do. If I'm right then I think it's terribly sad that he's been pushed into such a tight corner. If I'm wrong, then RIP.

[Keef]

That was my first thought GG, thought maybe he'd do a "risen again" kind of stunt... To be honest though, I suspect he is just dead.

Lets end all the conspiracies and speculation, Michael has just died, definitely.

R.I.P.

[Horsebox]

Very sad. He touched so many young lives...

[KoolBananas]

careful! you could be opening yet another can of worms there!

[????]

of course this morning, predictably, he's an absolute saint

[Marmora Man]

Death can be such a good career move for superannuated pop stars. See those record sales boom.

A good day to watch out for UK government press releases.
