Change that title HRG, confirmed on Sky News that he's dead.
We've just learned Michael Jackson has died. He was 50.

Michael suffered a cardiac arrest earlier this afternoon at his Holmby Hills home and paramedics were unable to revive him. We're told when paramedics arrived Jackson had no pulse and they never got a pulse back.

A source tells us Jackson was dead when paramedics arrived.

Once at the hospital, the staff tried to resuscitate him but he was completely unresponsive.

We're told one of the staff members at Jackson's home called 911.
Was right all along

Sticking just with his stage presence, a great entertainer and one of the finest dancers of his era.

I don't know enough about the Neverland capers but he really was a decent showman. I don't think that the term 'song and dance man' is incorrect - he just upgraded the genre a wee bit. Even as a fuddy-duddy I enjoyed the little I saw of the man's performances. He packed an awful lot of drama into his 50 years, but it's still too young an age to toss in the towel.

Wasn't really a big fan but still doesn't mean that this is any less massive. I was in the pub when my mate got a text saying 'Jacko dead?' which made us flick Sky News on and the place went silent while everyone just watched.

Mad.

I really don't care that much. I understand the irony of that statement on this thread, but i get this startling premonition that this'll be like Diannaprincessofhearts all over again.
You can judge the whole world on the sparkle that you think it lacks.
Yes, you can stare into the abyss, but it's staring right back.

Yeah, that is going to be the worse thing about all of this, it's going to be blown out of all kinds of proportion.

Seconded.

Before he died he was a figure of ridicule and disgust in most of the media.

Now he will be hailed as the second coming!

It's a huge loss. Say what you will, but he is the greatest entertainer ever to have lived and he'll be missed.

RIP MJ

RIP MJ
Sorry but greatest entertainer ever is stretching it too far.

He was very good at what he did. Not to my tastes but he was a great signer/dancer. In his prime he was massive probably as big if not bigger than Elvis.

But greatest ever? That is too far. There are so many in different genres!
