Since he's the King of Pop, I wonder if he was found on the throne like the King of Rock N Roll was?

FROM TMZ:

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

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

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

Jackson had 13 number one hits during his solo career.

Wow. Can we trust TMZ on this? This is big news. Whatever you think of him, he is/was a cultural icon.

Oh my god. I cannot believe this. I heard on the radio last night that he was doing this concert as a comeback to see if he was in fact fit to perform 200 or so nights a year in vegas at Wynne or Palazzo . I even said to her, could you imagine how great of a show that will be, he is the one artist I would pay a fortune to see.

If he is indeed dead, this is an incredibly sad day in the world of music, he was a true talent.

Boomer just announced it. I guess we can use the Fan as a source now.

Unfortunately he won't be remembered for his musical talent, he'll be remembered for his love of kidlets, his bad money managing, and his f*#&ed up parenting.

The MJ greatest hits CD in my CD changer says otherwise.

I disagree. Yes he will be remembered for all the f'd up stuff, but he will be remembered for his music for sure. He was a pop phenom for most of his life. There's no way he won't be remembered for his music.

I think I am sadder Farrah Fawcett died.. but seriously I loved his greatest hits CD, I tend to ignore most tabloid stuff so I definitely will remember him more for his music than anything else.
