TMZ reports Michael Jackson is dead

Just now posted. Celebrity Gossip | Entertainment News | Celebrity News | TMZ.com

He made a lot of good music during his career. Too bad his eccentricities overshadowed his later life.

One of my methods to become debt-free. Thanks, Dave Ramsey!

Re: TMZ reports Michael Jackson is dead

I wonder of any of his eccentricities caused medical problems? He never seemed all that healthy.

Wow! First Farrah and now Michael. This is a very sad day.

Re: Michael Jackson has died!!!

This is quite shocking if true (let's remember the report that he has died is coming from TMZ). He was only 50. Despite all the problems he's had in the last several years, I prefer to remember him as the mega-talented kid who first with his brothers, and then on his own, created some of the most indelible pop music of the 70s & 80s. Just like there will never be another Beatles, there will never be another phenomenon like "Thriller" was in 1982/1983.

He was clearly a very troubled man of late. May he finally R.I.P.

Edit: Apparently the LA Times is now corroborating the report of Michael Jackson's death.

Re: Michael Jackson has died!!!

This is weird TMZ says he's dead and Los Angeles Times says he's in a coma.
If he is indeed dead, this news will hit people hard all over the world.

Re: Michael Jackson has died!!!

TMZ seems to be the only source saying he died...everyone else is just quoting the TMZ article.

It's just a shame that he never got a chance to redeem himself, which these upcoming London concerts probably would've done a lot to help his reputation.

Re: Michael Jackson has died!!!

Yahoo has a Breaking News banner that says "Michael Jackson dies at age 50" and attributes the Los Angeles Times and TMZ. Everyone else is saying he is in a coma.

Just got through to latimes.com. They are reporting that Jackson has indeed passed away.

Wow, that's a surprise. He was certainly a towering talent, despite his eccentricities/problems. RIP

Re: Michael Jackson has died!!!

It's almost 40 years to the day, that I first heard Michael Jackson's voice with the rest of his brothers back in 1969. I'm not surprise by his early death, but I'm very sad indeed. It gives me cause to reflect on my own mortality. May he R.I.P.

It's one of those things that's just unbelievable. I'm really stunned. I was never what you would call a 'fan', but I understand his impact on the industry. RIP

Re: Michael Jackson has died!!!

I had heard earlier this week that he had hired Lou Ferrigno to be his trainer to get him in shape for a concert run. I really hope this has nothing to do with that.

Re: Michael Jackson has died!!!

Jackson wasn't a pop icon. He was THE pop icon. Thriller is the greatest music video of all time...even 26 years after the fact.

May he rest his peace, and may his children be taken care of.

Re: Michael Jackson has died!!!

While the legacy of the man has been tainted over the last 15 years or so, the legacy of his music remains intact. For all of his weird (and possibly illegal) behavior, he was still one of the most incredibly talented artists to ever be associated with the music industry -- not just his singing and dancing, but his songwriting as well. His influence on the entertainment world cannot be adequately measured. I would have to guess this is similar to the death of Elvis for the next generation, but most likely with a larger impact worldwide. To this day, there may not be any one person more known and more famous around the globe than Michael Jackson. Thank you for the music (and videos), Michael.

Re: Michael Jackson has died!!!

MJ produced some great music over the years, and while his personal life has overshadowed his musical achievements, there's no denying his legacy in music is one of greatness.

RIP Michael....will be spinning your "Thriller" SACD tonite, which remains the best digital version to date.

Re: Michael Jackson has died!!!

SIRIUS has done some of it's own playlist. Let me say, even as a beatles fanatic there are very few things that get me to smile like so many of the Jackson5 numbers. "I Want You Back" "A-B-C" Please. GENIOUS.
