'King Of Pop' Michael Jackson died after going into cardiac arrest last night at the age of 50. While I suspect fans around the globe are saddened I could almost see it coming really- apparently he hadn't really been well for quite some time, but I don't think anybody thought his life was in danger. At least he leaves a decent musical legacy, even if personally he was a very strange man..........

As you say, this was not surprising. I think Michael Jackson was an extremely troubled and possibly abused person. Years of emotional problems must surely have taken its toll physically, and that is what I think happened. He won't be forgotten though.

you beat me to this post bud.

....and when i seen this i was automatically going to move it to the 'Deaths' area but i won't ....its such a notable death its probably right here where people have easy access

Anyway i was watching 'This Week' last night and near the end Andrew O Neill said about Jackson Dying ...i immediately switched to the news channel and i admit i was shocked...i know he wasn't well but i never dreamed he was that bad ....i do feel sad.....a musical legend is dead

RIP MICHAEL

Well, it certainly seems he's always had a fairly large global following, I would hope his fans will afford his family some privacy though. Apparently there was a rumour that a trbute of some kind is being planned at Glastonbury, and Radio 2 is broadcasting a special programme tonight from 7pm to mark his passing.

it appears every channel on telly and every event has some kind of special about him ...i've already caught three specials (docus) on him ...its just an awful shame...i wonder had he been given too many pain killers???

I wasn't surprised by his death....it seemed almost inevitable because he was so fragile. What did shock me though was his father's reaction.....he was laughing and joking

Laughing and joking?? Was he in shock or something

You would hope so, I imagine he would be- especially as his years of abusing his children may have been a contributing factor somehow.

I think that to an extent he believed his own hype, but I also reckon that his army of hangers-on are to blame in all this, letting him follow the path of prescription drug abuse until it was too late.
