Unconfirmed news that Michael has died of a heart attack! Very tragic if it is true.

I had heard he had a cardiac arrest but have not heard yet that he is dead. Not a good day for the stars!

They are now saying that he is in a coma, very sad whichever is true.

All the news is saying it is confirmed he has died.

How sad.

Just heard it on the BBC. Very sad.

I am gutted- a legend- reminds me of Elvis dying in '77
what annoys me is the way all the D list celebs come on the news as if they are bosom buddies of MJ, and then you find they have not spoken to him EVER, or for years, or vaguely knew of him!

The way they reported on his death here in the US was an absolute disgrace, one minute he was dead, then he wasn't, then he was, then he was in a coma, then we think he is dead but we aren't sure. It started to come out about 5 ish this end and was a while before anything was confirmed in the end.

He was an absolute genuis as a musician, 100 million records speaks for itself and he was truly remarkable but aptly named Whacko Jacko.

I don't think there are many of his calibre either past or present, (Elvis of course springs to mind but not too many more). MJ's checkered past involving things best left unsaid cost him almost everything. Plus what he had done to himself over the years it is no wonder his body shut down so young, whatever the cause.

He will be missed especially when he was about to go back on the road again. He is someone I would have liked to have seen in concert but never got the opportunity.

His official website has been taken down apart from one page but it doesn't say anything yet.
