Oh christ.

If he truly has passed on then R.I.P.

That really sucks if true.

I remember being 6 or 7 years old and having a bath right before the world premier of the "Bad" video. It's strange that I remember that from my childhood, but I was a huge fan. It was and still is a Halloween tradition to watch "Thriller"

I think Micheal Jackson was the only artist of all time where any thing he released became an event, not just an album release.

Only TMZ has reported it, i'd probably wait for at least one other source.

Michael Jackson Dies
Posted Jun 25th 2009 5:20PM by TMZ Staff

We've just learned Michael Jackson has died. He was 50.

Michael suffered a cardiac arrest earlier this afternoon at his Holmby Hills home and paramedics were unable to revive him. We're told when paramedics arrived Jackson had no pulse and they never got a pulse back.

A source tells us Jackson was dead when paramedics arrived.

Once at the hospital, the staff tried to resuscitate him but he was completely unresponsive.

We're told one of the staff members at Jackson's home called 911.

La Toya ran in the hospital sobbing after Jackson was pronounced dead.

Michael is survived by three children: Michael Joseph Jackson, Jr., Paris Michael Katherine Jackson and Prince "Blanket" Michael Jackson II.

Sky are being very careful how they are covering this so far, by only quoting TMZ.
