Heart attack,according to the reports.

Your thinking of my Dad........... :P :P :P
-
I knew he wouldn't make all those gigs that people queued up for and elsewhere paid thousands for!! ::) ::) :D :D :D ;)
As for Michael Jackson's death that is a loss to the music world but at least he will hopefully leave all his demons behind 8-) 8-) 8-) RIP Michael :'( :'( :'( :'(
-
I can sum up my feelings in 2 words............
......... Oh well!
-
Can I ask a genuine question.....
No disrespect to the guy, as I have no idea what happened - but what was the outcome of his child abuse accusations etc? I presume he was aquitted?
-

Sorry if that seemed heartless, it is a great loss to music but it doesn't stop me not liking the bloke!
-
Now confirmed.
-
Well with Farrah Fawcett also passing away today, perhaps, to echo Don Mcleans American Pie song, this is the day the [1970s] music died :'( :'(;) ;)

Not forgetting this of course was written about a real American hero musician, Buddy Holly :-* :-* :-* :-*
-
Now confirmed.
Yes, watching it on Sky News.............
-
very sad news - whatever you think of the guy - theres no denying his genius

I'm at a loss for words... :-X :-X :-X
And after we lost Farrah Fawcett Majors today too :( :( :(

My thoughts exactly, I don't believe he was even physically able to perform one gig never mind all those he sold tickets for. If this news is true, I wonder what the situation is for all those fans to get a refund ?

Gooooooodbyeeeeee! Gooooooodbyeeeeeeee! all the money has gone Goooooooodbyeeeeee! ;D ;D ;D ;D ;)
No seriously, I am sure the organisers has insurance in place for such a (very) possible event as this! It is those who paid thousands to black market ticket touts for single tickets that will now be feeling sick! ::) ::) ::) They will be singing Goooooooodbyeeeeee! Gooooooooodbyeeeeeeee!, the money has all gone, Goooooooodbyeeeeeeeee! ;D ;D ;D ;D ;)
-
His death now confirmed by the coroner...........
-
I must confess, I wasn't his biggest fan. His older stuff was amazing but it's still a loss to the music world!
It's just a great lost to the planet to lose 2 big names in one day.
-

Both times he/his `advisers` settled out of court - both for 8 figure sums. Funny that, you`d think you`d want to fight to your last penny if you were innocent. Or am i just being cynical . . . . . . . . . :-/ :-/::) ::)
-
if i was accoused of anything that i didnt do i would fight it all the way i used to be a big fan of him at one time but then was unsure when he paid the kid off and then it happened again i aint no judge but his music his concerts and his dancing was un reel
-
Must admit i was never a fan, and those court cases certainly didnt help. Just looking at the news coverage - bloody hell, theres people doing the conga, laughing and joking and waving to the cameras :o :o Only in America ::) ::)
-
Not a fan but it is a loss to the music world. :(
But I really doubt we'll see scenes like this :-X

At least they are not claiming he is still alive and his death is part of a plot to write off his debts! ::) ::) :D ;) After all we know Elvis is still around somewhere! :D :D :D ;) ;) ;)
The look-a-likes will be coming out of the woodwork now. ::) ::) ;) ;)
-
didnt like the jackson 5 stuff , BUT his 80's cd's thriller , Off The Wall are still BRILLIANT albums. I think he had a lot of demons so I hope he now R.I.P.

Apparantly it was close to midnight and something evil was lurking in the dark.
Under the moonlight he saw a sight that stopped his beating heart.
He tried to scream but terror took the sound before he make it
He started to freeze as horror looked him right between the eyes,
Hes paralyzed........
-
:o :o :o the was "bad" ;D

The fear probably came from thinking about undertaking 50 gigs! That would have been a [size=24]Thriller, Killer!![/size]
-
Sad news.. :(
He may have many mistakes..but
I pass my teenage years with his music..
So have a special place for me..
Also Farrah Fawcett :'(

Jacko lost his appeal with me when all the allegations came out but its a sad loss for music.

it's started already. :-X :-X :-X
-
Apart from the one MDTM has already posted, all the jokes I've seen so far are probably not suitable for this forum ::)
-
a great loss i liked his music, the thing is his estate is going to make a load of money now with the royalty's from all his music that will be played on the radio worldwide! ironic really....
R.I.P

i agree. certainly couldnt post up any of the ones i have recieved so far. ;D ;D ;D
-

agreed on that but lets be honest here, would you leave you kids alone with him ?
the man would have been in a cell if it was'nt for his money and legal team.
i will always respect him for his music but im not going to start blubbing and light a candle for him
-
I am gutted :(
Tribute at my house today for The King of Pop :)
Went to see him in 1988 and he was nothing but Fantastic :y
-
Used to love playing the Moonwalker Arcade Game (infact I still do on MAME)... But his music started to loose its appeal to me in the 90's, maybe I was getting too mature for
him his ever changing style in music...
R.I.P.... Easy as 1.2.3...
-
There will be a lot of very gutted ticket touts around today:

Whatever you think about Jacko, his music, shows and dancing were legendary and it's a huge loss to the world of music. I was spinning discs as a DJ throughout the Jackson era and his music would always fill a dancefloor without fail. Songs like Billie Jean , Thriller, Rock With You etc. are ageless.
RIP Jacko. :'( :'( :'(
-
I never bought any of his records unless a track happened to be on a compilation so there's no way I could be described as a fan.
He was certainly a mixed-up bloke who craved attention but was clearly less happy with himself than his fans were.
Thoughts are with his family.
-
The man was without doubt a musical genius and history will show him as one of the most talented artists ever.
Typically now following his death all his many close friends seem to be coming out of the woodwork,where were they when he was 'morphing' into a mentally ill freak with agents and promoters using and abusing him ?
And the gullible public and loyal fans once more being ripped off.
He was aquited of one 'child abuse' case and settled out of court on the second one.Think it fair to say that he escaped charges of paedophilia by the skin of his teeth (if he had any).
For maybe 20 years or more he was abusing himself and being allowed to do so,anyone else would surely have been 'sectioned' under the mental health acts,so lots of good friends ? i dont think so.
I do hope people who bought tickets for the O2 get their money back,i fear thats unlikely and the 'big con' will have been completed,no way did he ever look fit enough to appear for one show let alone fifty.
Did i like him ? some of his music yes.
But i would never have let him baby sit my kids.
-
During a recent press conference where he was asked about the cause of Michael Jacksons death, the coroner said he didn’t know if he should, 'blame it on the sunshine, blame it on the moonlight, blame it on the good times or blame it on the boogy.
What is the difference between Alex Ferguson and Michael Jackson.
Alex Ferguson is the only one who will be playing Giggs in August!
-
What a very very sad loss. I am gutted. :'(
He was acquitted on the first case of child abuse and I will always maintain that the second case was someone trying it on to see what they could get out of him.
The man was a genius and there may never be anyone that gifted again.
RIP Michael

All I have seen is statement of fact. 8-) 8-) 8-)

sad loss to the music world. I saw him at Wembley in his hey day. fabulous concert. Afterwards we all spewed out and up the M1 etc. Stopped at the first services (along with everyone else!) The queues were so long for food and drinks that the punters were shockingly just helping themselves.

Very sad news. I'd read that he wasn't in the best of health but I never imagined that he could have been that sickly, especially after the O2 dates were announced. Michael Jackson's legacy to pop music is up there with the super-super greats, but we'll never be able to boogie to Billie Jean quite so carefreely again.
-
rip micheal....what a legend :(
-
Totally shocking :o R.I.P
-
As far as i'm concerned, it's the best thing the kiddy fiddler has ever done. Serves him right. The sick perverts should ALL be shot, end off. >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:(
-
No one can say for sure whether he interfered with kids or not. To those who hate him he's guilty. To those who love him he's innocent. Despite court verdicts no one really KNOWS for sure either way. I'm no fan of his purely because it's not my type of music but his talent can't be denied, was Thriller the best ever seller?
Despite his music being a bit limp wristed & soppy for my tastes I'm exercising a modicum of diplomacy (for once) as i know many of you have a lot of love for the bloke. I don't really like him but would'nt wish him dead either.

OK who are you and what have you done with the real Guy? ;D ;D
-
It was probably the best thing that could have happened from a pop legend point of view. Let's face it, he would have been sh!te on his London shows. People would have remembered him making a idiot of himself and that's what would have stuck in their memories.
Personally, I could take him or leave him.

Just on sky news. :-?
Hmmmm.....an Irishman who cant spell Michael. Should have been called Mick Jackson. ::)

Even though he was never convicted, and first child behind it admitted he lied about it all for financial gain? :-?
He was a rich man, with odd habbits. People will always try the blag to get some cash or media attention!
Remember that young girl with the stars on her face? Public outcry at that 'monster' with all those tats and ear/face work.
Turns out she lied.
Do you believe everything a kid says? You one hell of a fool then! :y

Staggeringly naive imo,anyone remember the Martin Bashir interview with him?
He said with a straight face that it was perfectly normal for him,a man in his forties to bring little boys to stay with him and sleep in his bed with him,he was as innocent as OJ Simpson.
As for his music,more hype than Madonna imo,he wasnt exactly Otis Redding or Marvin Gaye was he?
If it wasnt for the fact that his life was a grotesque freak show ,I dont think he would have achieved the level of fame that he did.
I wasnt a fan btw! ::)

Sorry Albs mate I really have to disagree with ya :(
Would I have let my children stop over the night at Jacko's house? No, but there is not many I would trust to do that anyway like most parents. So what does that actually say about the parents that did?
Jacko has never had a proper childhood.
Look at blokes that have had children young perhaps married young, when their children have grown up they then start to play around with other women, go clubbing because they have missed out....
I honestly no matter what people say think that he was still childish in his mind, perhaps wanting to relive it?
Otis Redding & Marvin Gaye I like very much too, but afraid Jacko in my eyes was far better. The amount of records he has done and sales he has achieved says that a great deal of others think the same as myself.

plenty of people had difficult childhoods etc,Daz,but they didnt all have little boys sleeping in their beds when they were over 40.I wonder if the Bashir programme will be re-shown in the future,I do hope it is in a way,I found the whole setup chilling,it made my blood run cold.
there,s no denying he was one of the most commercially succesful artists of all time but that imo is no measure of real talent.Madonna is another example in my opinion,huge commercial success but I can see little real talent,just brilliant media manipulation.
I dont think he was untalented,far from it,but I also dont consider him to be one of the great talents either.
Anyway you ride a yamaha so what do you know. ;D :P
-
Here is the court decision..
http://www.cnn.com/2005/LAW/06/13/jackson.trial/index.html
I think we are not going to open a trial which is already closed ..And not judge a dead person again ::)
-
As for the parents of the kids who stayed with him,idiots hypnotised by celebrity imo,not fit to be parents. ;)

Michael Jackson..................a flawed Genius?
Flawed..........absolutely - by all accounts he never had a childhood, his pushy father plunged him into the adult world of showbiz - no wonder he regressed back to childhood when he became an adult.
Genius............... no way - even his most (arguably) successfull album "Thriller" was mostly written by unknown songwriters and was produced by the legendary Quincy Jones..........he was nothing more than a song & dance man............. I don't think you will find many musicians listing MJ as a musical influence.
-
The accuser, now 15, testified in graphic detail about what he claims were molestations by Jackson on two separate occasions in early 2003. During cross-examination, however, the teenager admitted he told an administrator at his school that nothing happened between him and the singer.
I wonder how much that kid actually got!
-
I agree that plenty of children have had difficult up bringings, but not that many that have had the publicity and limelight like Jacko mate, that cant be easy. I know he had loads of money, but it can't buy you happiness unfortunately :(
-
Just watched a clip on the news from a few years back.his sister said "Michael is my brother and I love him,but I cannot be a silent collaborator in his crimes against these innocent children".Nuff said really. ;)
The chief of police who arrested him said after the case that he had spent a long time trying to prove what he knew Jackson was,he was very determined that his attitude that he was untouchable because of who he was wouldnt succeed,but in the end,it did. >:(

What planet are you on? Listening to radio 1 they had countless accounts of top artists saying they got into music, based on him.
-
So your the person who still listens to radio1 Tunnie. ;D
I think he was a great performer with an average voice and average material,who had the best of the best on his production and PR teams.

I was wondering if I sing with my average voice people will like it or not ;D ;D :y

That's why I call him a "singer" not a musician, and would not rate him in the League of Buddy Holly, The Beatles (Lennon McCartney / Harrison) or Eric Clapton. Did he ever play any musical instruments? :-? :-?
