Chronic Tumor 149 Posted June 26, 2009 Michael Jackson is dead Quote King of Pop Michael Jackson was reportedly in a coma Thursday at a Los Angeles hospital where he was rushed around 1 p.m. PT by paramedics, according to the Los Angeles Times. Jackson, 50, had reportedly suffered cardiac arrest. Capt. Steve Ruda told the Los Angeles Times earlier Thursday that paramedics responded to a call at Jackson's home around 12:26 p.m. Ruda said Jackson was not breathing when they arrived. There were earlier reports that the singer had died, but his family has not confirmed those reports. A law enforcement source told the LA Times that Jackson was in a coma and his family was flocking to his bedside. Jackson had announced months ago that he would be doing a comeback tour, but his representatives announced in May that the the star would postpone several of his London shows scheduled for this summer. Jackson, who has sold more than 750 million albums and won 13 Grammys, hasn't undertaken a a major tour since 1997 or released an album of new material since 2001. The 50-year-old singer has been seen in public infrequently since he was acquitted of child molestation in California in 2005. He has struggled to pay his debts, and was forced last year to give up the deed to Neverland, his 2,500-acre ranch and miniature amusement park in California. On May 20, Jackson's representatives announced several postponments to his London comeback shows scheduled for this summer. The opening night at the 02 Arena had been set for July 8 but was be moved back to July 13, promoters said. In addition, other shows scheduled for July were moved to 2010. The delays fueled speculation that Jackson was suffering from health ailments. Also in May, his publicist and general manager filed a $44 million lawsuit against the pop star claiming he has not paid her for deals she's made. Raymone Bain of Washington had been Jackson's spokeswoman for more than five years, speaking on his behalf in all sorts of matters including his child molestation trial. Three years ago, Jackson expanded her role by appointing her the head of the Michael Jackson Co. Inc. and his personal general manager. In November 2008, Jackson was reportedly too sick to travel to London to testify in a suit claiming he owes an Arab sheikh $7 million. Jackon sought to give his testimony by video link from the United States. Jackson has often been seen wearing a surgical mask in public. In one infamous 2002 court appearance in California, he appeared to have a bandage hanging from his hollowed-out nose. Despite much speculation about his radically changed appearance over the years, he has denied having had any alterations to his face other than two operations on his nose to help him breathe better to hit higher notes. Jackson, a twice-divorced father of three, said during his 50th birthday celebration last year that he aims to provide a a normal life for his children. "I am letting them enjoy their childhood as much as possible. ... I let them go to the arcade and go to the movies and do things. I think that comes naturally. I want them to get to do things I didn't get to do," he said. "I get pretty emotional when I see them having a wonderful time," he said. As for his career, Jackson said he's "looking forward to doing a lot of great things. ... I think the best is yet to come in my true humble opinion." He said recording the blockbuster albums "Thriller" and "Off the Wall" were the happiest times of his life. "That meant very much to me and seemed to be received so beautifully by the public and the world. You know, I enjoyed it very much," he said. http://wbztv.com/national/michael.jackson.hospitalized.2.1059770.html Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cellar Door 652 Posted July 4, 2009 I liked a few of his songs, he wasn't a bad singer, but.... i hate how suddenly everyone likes him, just because he's dead. Honestly... I feel bad for him. I feel bad for his family. But he became a freak in life, and is a freak in death. /harshposto.o Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kaiso 2,764 Posted July 4, 2009 one of his pictures in some people magazine's article = hilarious. Imagine him with this "COME HERE MAH CHILDRENN!!" kind of pose, and a flock of kids running behind him and his face... I can't even describe it, I laughed so hard when I saw it.. but yeah DX not trying to insult him, I just found the picture funny. it's still sad that he died.. I hope his family makes it through the hard times of losing a loved one... but I mean, the world will still turn, we'd just have nobody to sing thriller for us now DX .. except wannabe's and fans. XDD Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Clueless 75 Posted July 5, 2009 Hmmm I think alot of the media in the past put a bad influence in other peoples minds With all the sex scandals and stuff... Sure there were some points in his life which were better left undone but he still is who he is. I was watching MTV today and they showed the BET awards [ is that what its called? I forgot http://kh13.com/forum/public/style_emoticons/default/smiley-confuse.png ] which was a whole tribute to MJ, Janet Jackson was there and I felt really sorry, she didn't really say much but yeah. I agree with Cellar, it's weird how all of a sudden people adore him x infinity just cause he passed away... o-o Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
