Maybe it isn't the goal of our forum to talk about that kind of person, but, he was a great icon of the pop msuc in the US.

LOS ANGELES . For his legions of fans, he was the Peter Pan of pop music: the little boy who refused to grow up. But on the verge of another attempted comeback, he is suddenly gone, this time for good.

Michael Jackson, whose quintessentially American tale of celebrity and excess took him from musical boy wonder to global pop superstar to sad figure haunted by lawsuits and failed plastic surgery, was pronounced dead Thursday afternoon at U.C.L.A. Medical Center after arriving in a coma, a city official said. Mr. Jackson was just 50 years old, having spent 39 of those years in the public eye he loved.

Maybe it wasn't so bad. His career was going downhill and he was very sick.
I don't think he could have gone through those 50 concerts.

I'm not a Michael hater, but I'm not a fan either.
I respect him.. I think - Although I hate what he did to his face and all the things he were accused of doing... We'll never know if he actually did something wrong.

That's really shocking.
I heard it at the news in the morning.

Some of the greatest songs on earth are from him.
Nowadays not so good but in his early years is was incredible!

I'm not a fan of Michael Jackson, but I respect him a lot as an artist, with what he accomplished and gave to the people. I am sure he influenced a lot of the artists today. A couple months ago I heard about the comeback tour and was glad that he's doing it because I kind of felt like he was just living off his fame/(notoriety?!) lately. It is a shame that he died before the tour happened. :'(

On a side note, Farrah Fawcett also died recently (same day as Michael Jackson?). Not a fan either, but I respect her since I have a family member who has a type of blood cancer (thankfully in remission now) so I have an idea of what she and her family went through.

He is a legend though. Despite the fact that he has faced lots of intrigues and
issues covering molestations.. Still he is our legendary concert King with great
moves and skills..
