Michael Jackson


Just got a bulletin on the 6 PM news that he has died, cardiac arrest, only 50. A great loss to the pop music world.

Re: Michael Jackson


That was the local news here with the bulletin; NBC National News has just confirmed it. Sad.

Re: Michael Jackson


Woke up to this news this morning
A great loss to music and even greater loss to his children.

He was a great icon of my generation and although I was never a big fan, I loved his early music with his brothers and he was the true 'king' of the pop video. Thriller and Bad were great albums. He led a mixed up life, genius/madman - he showed both extremes of human behaviour, but, to me, he always appeared to be childlike, naive, some would say immature.
One thing though, he'll never be forgotten. R.I.P. Michael.

Re: Michael Jackson


I heard the news just as I was going to bed last night, it is such a loss to the music industry and of course his family,friends and fans.
He will be greatly missed but obviously a person that will never be forgotten, a true musical genious

Re: Michael Jackson


Whilst not a great fan of the man or his music, I find it very sad that he never made it to his farewell concerts
I hope his family are able to come to terms with such a public loss and are given time and space to grieve without media intrusion.

Re: Michael Jackson


OH told me the news last night as we were going to bed. I echo above comments, I do hope that his music will be uppermost in peoples' minds. I fear that Yola's hope for privacy for his family may not come to pass.
