Thriller Entertainer Michael Jackson Dies

Tragic death of King of Pop from cardiac arrest.
Musical legend, pop icon and dancing revolutionary Michael Jackson died late last night aged 50 after being rushed to hospital in Los Angeles.
The singer suffered from a cardiac arrest which put him in a coma which proved fatal. Three hours after being admitted to hospital, Michael Jackson was confirmed dead.
The entertainer was just weeks away from making a hugely anticipated comeback with a collection of 50 concerts at The O2 arena in London. Despite questions raised over Jackson’s health and capability to last the duration of such a gruelling series of gigs, 1 million tickets for his “last ever” UK tour sold in a matter of hours.
In the last decade, Jackson had largely withdrawn from the public eye but was thrust into the limelight with accusations of child molestation. His later life is likely to be pushed to the background though as fans will remember Michael Jackson for the indelible mark he left on the music industry in his earlier life.
Jackson sold over 750 million albums worldwide, along the way winning 13 Grammy awards and countless other accolades for his achievements in music history.
Made famous for incredible songs like Billie Jean, Beat It, Bad and Man in the Mirror, Michael Jackson was acknowledged as one of the greatest entertainers of all time when he was admitted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame twice.
As well as his music, Jackson will be fondly remembered for his visual exuberance. The genius captured in his Thriller video continue to impress fans today and is still consistently voted as one of the best made MTV videos of all time, not to mention his outrageous moon walking, a move Jackson popularised in stage performances of Billie Jean.
Controversial to the end, Michael Jackson will not be forgotten easily, but his musical legacy will endure as his gift to heal the world.
One of the best singers of all time! R.I.P.
So sad that he’s dead.
I have no feeling either way but RIP – show respect when someone dies no matter who they are. God is the judge of everyone after we leave Earth, so let it be.
I just cannot believe he died! It’s like Elvis dying all over again!! Long live Michael Jackson…
I am really upset as he is one of the best well-known singers of all time.
It’s a big loss.
We will surely miss the spark you brought in music. Long live MJ.
I can’t believe this. I can’t hear this type of news.
Michael Jackson is NOT the King Of Pop. He is MUCH MORE than that. His body has died and his heart has stopped but he himself and his spirit will live in our hearts FOREVER.
