R.I.P Michael Jackson

Michael Jackson
1958-2009

Please leave a comment, to pay your respects.

Michael we will all miss you!

Just so you know, I chose this song, because in the beginning he says "I'm gonna make a change, for once in my life" and he did. He changed the world, and he made Pop Music. I know that is not what the song is about, but he really did make a difference in our world. Not just with music, but he really was an inspiration. Sure he made mistakes, but that just shows he was human. I love you, Michael, and you will always be in mine, and everyone else in the world's hearts.

Michael Jackson, best known as the King of Pop, has died. He was 50.

He went into cardiac arrest at his Holmby Hills home in L.A. Thursday (a 911 call was placed shortly before 12:30 p.m. PT), according to TMZ, which first reported the news. Paramedics were unable to revive the singer (who had no pulse upon their arrival), the site reports.

He was then rushed to UCLA Medical Center while in a deep coma before passing away, The Los Angeles Times reported.

He was pronounced dead at 2:26 p.m. An autopsy is set for Friday.

Michael's father, Joe Jackson, confirmed to E! News his son had a heart attack.

"He is not OK," he said. "His mother is on her way to the hospital now to check in on him."

According to X17, more than 10 members of Michael's entourage arrived at the hospital just after 1 p.m. PST after following the ambulance.

"They all got out of the SUVs in a panic and Michael was wheeled into
the emergency room on a stretcher," the site reports. "There was definitely a sense of urgency and everyone looked worried."

TMZ reports that his sister LaToya ran in the hospital sobbing after her brother was pronounced dead.


LOOKING BACK

Born Aug. 29, 1958, Michael Jackson was the seventh child of the famed Jackson family. He kicked off his career at age 11 as a child star in the band The Jackson 5. While still a member of group, he launched a solo career in 1971.

Jackson went on to win 13 Grammys and boast 13 number one singles. His 1982 album Thriller remains the biggest-selling album of all time, with more than 26 million copies.

Said Neil Portnow, of the Recording Academy: "Rarely has the world received a gift with the magnitude of artistry, talent, and vision as Michael Jackson. He was a true musical icon whose identifiable voice, innovative dance moves, stunning musical versatility, and sheer star power carried him from childhood to worldwide acclaim. A 13-time GRAMMY recipient, Michaels career transcends musical and cultural genres and his contributions will always keep him in our hearts and memories. We are deeply saddened by this tragic news and our hearts go out to his family and to music lovers around the globe who mourn this great loss."

Jackson wasn't only known for his signing: He inspired countless artists with his dance move known as the moonwalk. (However, he also outraged some with his crotch-grabbing dance moves.)

Despite the professional success, he has drawn much criticism for his wacky personal life.

His physical features changed drastically: His skin became lighter and his nose narrower.

Jackson - who often wore a germ mask and kept a pet chimpanzee named Bubbles - also palled around with children at his Neverland ranch. In 2005, he was cleared of charges he molested a 13-year-old cancer survivor at Neverland in 2003.

In August 1994, Jackson wed Lisa Marie Presley but divorced in 1996. He went on to wed Debbie Rowe, a nurse. Two children were born through artificial insemination: Prince Michael Jackson, in 1997, and Paris Michael Jackson, in 1998. He also had a third child, Prince Michael Jackson II.

Jackson was set to headline 50 sold-out shows at London's O2 Arena beginning in July, billed "This Is It" -- his final London performances.

I want to write this in my mother language, swedish.

Vila i frid Michael Jackson. Du har betytt otroligt mycket för mig genom åren, ända sedan jag hörde dig från första gången. Din musik har stärkt mig och gjort mig till den jag är idag.

Jag kan inte förstå att du är borta. Du är en förebild för hela världen, du ville göra en skillnad (vilket du också gjorde). Ditt budskap var tydligt.

Jag älskar dig Michael Jackson, vila i frid.

R.I.P<3
