Charlie Brigden 7 Posted June 25, 2009 Share Posted June 25, 2009 It's bad, but I suppose he'd like his last moment to be a thriller. A bit off the wall to be sure, but nothing with that man is ever black or white. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neimoidian 14 Posted June 25, 2009 Share Posted June 25, 2009 There is no chance for him to come back in glory he used to deserve. Sadly, he has ruined his life and career enough.

Dole 17 Posted June 25, 2009 Share Posted June 25, 2009 Whatever you feel about his music or his personal life, there's no doubt he was one of the most influential and important figures in music in the last 30 years. RIP Michael. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pixie_twinkle 48 Posted June 25, 2009 Share Posted June 25, 2009 This is horrible news. I've always been a massive admirer of his art, if not his strange behaviour. To be quite honest I feel devestated right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neimoidian 14 Posted June 25, 2009 Share Posted June 25, 2009 I think a lot of us grew up listening to his music, being his fans or not.

Richard Penna 3,695 Posted June 25, 2009 Share Posted June 25, 2009 BBC news is confirming he passed on too. I'm looking at the 'continuous coverage' and they have arial shots of L.A. with crowds gathering around UCLA.While I'm not a fan as such, he was a stunning singer and his sudden death is a huge shock.RIP Mikey.

Ollie 1,059 Posted June 25, 2009 Share Posted June 25, 2009 I've always felt that when it comes to death if you can't find any kind words to say then you shouldn't say anything at all.Granted not everyone deserves sympathy but still it might be best just to say nothing.

Wojo 2,453 Posted June 26, 2009 Share Posted June 26, 2009 This is indeed a terrible tragedy. 50 is way too young to die, let alone of a heart attack. I was not aware that he had any physical ailments.Michael Jackson was one of my favorite singers when I was a young boy. There are many jokes you can make about him because he was always so controversial and ostentatious, but today such comments are improper. On the verge of a possible comeback or long-rumored Jackson 5 reunion, the King of Pop will be missed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pixie_twinkle 48 Posted June 26, 2009 Share Posted June 26, 2009 Does anyone else find it deeply distasteful that the one-hour special on Michael Jackson's death on ABC tonight is being hosted by Martin Bashir? I think that's disgusting considering how he treated Michael Jackson several years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
