R.I.P. Michael Jackson
 

The king of pop has just died.

Re: R.I.P. Michael Jackson
 

None of the news websites have confirmed him dead yet. He has gone into cardiac arrest though.

Re: R.I.P. Michael Jackson
 

Yeah, thus far a few (shady) tabloid sites like TMZ have reported that he is dead, but other sources say he is being hospitalized and stopped breathing. I would say this is still pending further sources.

Re: R.I.P. Michael Jackson
 

BBC said they're "Unconfirming Micheal Jackson is dead."


They said he was found in his house unconcious and not breathing.

Farah Fawcett died today, too.

And Ed Mcmahon earlier in the week.

Re: R.I.P. Michael Jackson
 

yeah seems like celebrity deaths happen in 3s.

Re: R.I.P. Michael Jackson
 

CNN has updated its report on this. They say he was revived before they took him to the hospital.

Well that sucks

Re: R.I.P. Michael Jackson
 

Totally unexpected. He was a bit (understatement) of a nut job in his final years, but he put out some dang good music and you can't deny his influence.

As Dave Chappelle said, He made Thriller

Re: R.I.P. Michael Jackson
 

He hasn't really been alive since the 80's, so I mean....

Re: R.I.P. Michael Jackson
 

Here's what I told BaB on AIM:

"It sucks when anybody dies and my heart goes out to Farrah Fawcett and Michael Jackson's family, but thousands of people die daily and no one cares. I guess our society needs famous celebrity deaths to remind us that life is precious."

It's sort of telling about how we death under the radar when people die from starvation, cancer, etc. daily. If anything, I guess celebrities have become the reminder that life is precious.

Anyway, RIP to Michael and RIP to Farrah and my condolences to their families.

You been hit by, you been struck by

Death should be celebrated, not mourned.

I would rather everyone have a rave upon mine -
