I am not a fan or a supporter, but he did have a very sad life.

How awful! Even though he turned into a creeper, his early music was amazing. Wow, today was a real celeb loss kind of day.

HLN Prime News is reporting that he has been hospitalized after cardiac arrest and is not doing well.

Both CNN and Fox are not reporting he is dead...but he does appear to be close to death's door

Does anyone know if this is official yet? I've been reading about how he was rushed to the hospital. Didn't sound good.

Farrah Fawcet, Ed McMahon and MJ all in 2 days!! Not a good week to be a celeb - I'd say we have 3 decades covered now (60's, 70's and 80's).

They say it happens in 3's.

My heart goes out to all of their families - and poor Ryan O'Neal, never got to marry his sweetheart

OT - I did not know the names of Michaels kids - WOW, just WOW!!

Michael is survived by three children: Michael Joseph Jackson, Jr., Paris Michael Katherine Jackson and Prince "Blanket" Michael Jackson II.

MSNBC says he's in a coma. I'm not going to completely trust TMZ now that I see the link. D; Pushing past his pedo-ness, he still sang pretty great.

 

[grace&philipsmom]

CNN also says he is in a coma.

 

[mom2faith]

You ladies are all correct - it appears the more "reputable" sources are saying coma/heart attack. I guess we will know more this evening.

I will keep checking and change the title of the thread shortly....

All the Canadian news are stating he is dead (www.ctv.ca, www.cbc.ca).

I do not like to post "gossip", so I will stay tuned

NBC is pretty reputable and they have confirmation that he did indeed pass away. Very sad. I had a HUGE crush on him when I was a kid.

 

[Momejules]

CBS Evening news with Katie Couric is reporting that he has died.

Definitely not a good time to be a celebrity.

 

[spaceace510]

most sites are reporting that he is dead.

Rest In Peace Michael

 

[luvsmickeymouse]

Its official, he has passed away.

 

[mommy*RN]

AP says dead.

My dh works for an NBC affiliate...I believe they reported him as having died, then came on the recant that...not absolutely positive.

Fox news is saying he is dead

The one thing I recall the most about Jackson is: My fellow Hoosiers may remember Ryan White. Ryan was a young boy who got AIDS after having a hemophiliac transfusion. Ryan and his family were treated so badly in their hometown that they had to move. But Michael Jackson and Elton John befriended him and his family. To the point the rumor is Michael helped pay for some of his medical bills and Elton was at the hospital when he died.

I think Michael Jackson was an amazing musical talent with a troubled soul. I think he has gone down a destructive path. I pray for his children. I also pray that he has found the peace that it seems he has sought for so many years.

This will be one of those events that we people will say 20 years from where were you when Michael Jackson died.
