You've been hit by a smooth criminal.
L.A Coroners confirm he is dead
aye - reckon anyone will get a refund?
eta - the Daily Mail has no less than NINE articles about Michael Jackson on their front page. NINE! Do they write these things and then store them up waiting for people to die or something? :eek2:
Er, yes! Most big news companies will have the odd obituary written for a lot of famous people just in case. Think they just update them every so often, then they just need a quick scan before they're published.
I think it's sad. He was obviously a very messed up child/man who couldn't deal with the fame, or even normal life in the last few years.
but still, he made some amazing music, some of the best i've ever heard but that doesn't make me one of his strange obsessed fans
and yes he desverse some sympathy but how would you like it if you died and people started slagging you off??? I know that he touched children but still have some respect for the dead
He has my respects, I would say the largest death (in music) before this wouldve been the king himself, presley, so it comes as a bit of a shock
I feel sorry for his children most of all in this, loosing a father and then having the constant media attention surrounding his death
I may have been a bigger fan if he wasnt such a fruitcake as theres no denying the music. I just hope the very troubled man is now at peace
All im saying its abit werid, why couldnt he build it somewhere else? why did he feel the need to build it there? I've always thought that the whole situation was iffy.
But nevertheless i will pay my respects to the guy, no one could fill his shoes and he made some amazing music.
Maybe cos his Dad had him working at the age of 5 and he wanted to recapture his youth?
Not many people in the western world start working at age 5.
Also wasn't exactly a back garden - place was huge

Requiescat in Pace Michael. x
RIP.
I hope he's at peace. Personally I don't think he sexually abused boys, I just think he was a disturbed man who wanted to actually have a childhood.
Micheal Jackson is really dead. Doctors tried to revive him but they failed. He was believed to have a cardiac arrest unless autopsy proved other causes.
Good morning wherever you are ...
well the thread title is still (unconfirmed) and it's not the first time I've jumped into a thread only reading the first post
Good point, I've edited the thread title now. We'd rather avoid the jokes as well so they've been deleted.
Foolish boy!
Even if he looked at two or three posts above his, he'd have detected that we now know ... but oh well.
I agree, his "childhood" didn't leave a lot to be desired for.
I had Thriller, Bad, Dangerous & HIStory and was meaning to get Off The Wall as well. Although I lost touch after HIStory, I still didn't believe that he committed the paedophilia. I remembering it sweeping TheSite.org back in '02 and I dismissed it as being media barons lining their pockets. The painkiller addiction back in 1993 would be more realistic though.
Sad times. He'll be up there with Elvis (already mentioned by Hellfire), along with Freddie Mercury, John Lennon and Stevie Wonder. I would say that the main pop singer alive now will be Madonna.
Stevie Wonder is still alive
With regards to MJ, very sad. I hope he has found peace at last.
Just hope the media can reel in their frenzied faux-grieving and leave the people who are really grieving for him some space.
rest in peace anyway !
