Michael Jackson is dead !


blakep82 - 25/6/09 at 09:58 PM

a bit questionable for the last few years, but in the 80s, absolute legend


dave1888 - 25/6/09 at 09:58 PM

so he is


mookaloid - 25/6/09 at 10:01 PM

so it would seem


matt.c - 25/6/09 at 10:03 PM

Where did you find that out?


Ben_Copeland - 25/6/09 at 10:03 PM

Just as he was about to make a come back too!

Unconfirmed but almost certainly is him

Michael Jackson Delays First London Concerts


Four of Michael Jackson's London concerts have been pushed back, with some fans now facing a delay before they get to see the King of Pop.

Organisers were quick to emphasise that the decision had nothing to do with Jackson's death.



Michael Jackson is scheduled to perform 50 concerts at London's O2



They said the dates were moved due to the sheer magnitude of the spectacle, and the desire for all fans attending the opening nights to get the same high-quality experience planned for all 50 shows.

The first scheduled show at London's O2 Arena on July 8 will now take place a few days later on July 13.

But fans with tickets for three other initial concerts will have to wait around nine months until spring 3010 if they want to make it to the rescheduled concerts.
Elvis will be appearing on the same bill as a support act.

The technology to do this has not yet been invented

well, they say that. earlier they said he had no pulse when paramedics got to him, and they never got one back, but now they say coma. i think the americans tend to do that til all the family are around

edit, LA times have just confirmed it too from city and law enforcement

Sadly it would appear that it is true though now, 3 major local news agencies are reporting this.

Beat it!


James - 25/6/09 at 10:48 PM

And more to the point on the BBC... so must be true!


blakep82 - 25/6/09 at 11:03 PM

gutted


Steve G - 26/6/09 at 12:06 AM

but think of the children......................




and how America is now a slightly safer place for them!!


Sorry but he's undoubtedly a musical genius but some seriously dodgy behaviour with kids over the years. Abuse was unproven but holding the baby over the balcony like he did - to be honest I wont be mourning him. Pretty sure that when he got sued like he did - it was all about money......... but still he clearly wasnt right in the head

RK - 26/6/09 at 02:47 AM

He had a tough life no doubt. Total nutter but then we didn't experience what he did as a kid.


britishtrident - 26/6/09 at 06:19 AM

My reaction was the same as Jack Straw when he was told Harold Shipman had killed himself.

Good Result !


MakeEverything - 26/6/09 at 06:21 AM

A musical Legend, and a megastar undoubtedly. I quite liked some of his music, and he is a part of all of our history.

It takes all sorts to make the world, and we only hear what the press want to tell us (or fabricate for a good story) on the idols of the world.

It would be very Dangerous to make assumptions based on Press coverage, as not all stories are Black and White. We know he has had his Bad moments, but we shouldnt Cry, but celebrate the life of the Man in the Mirror.

Who's bad?? Well i dont wanna be startin something but his life was quite a thriller. Oh ok - i just cant help it but its human nature so lets get off the wall and say he wasnt actually a smooth criminal, but maybe him and the kids were just good friends - well thats what his friend Billy Jean King said anyway.

Christ this is getting really bad isnt it!!! I need to get out and get a girlfriend. Maybe a Liberian girl will want to be the lady in my life


PaulBuz - 26/6/09 at 07:22 AM

According to news reports, he briefly regained conciousness whilst being rushed through emergency.

He is asked if he had died & gone to heaven.

The paramedic told him they were taking a short cut through the childrens ward.


Steve G - 26/6/09 at 07:34 AM

ebay bargains anyone?

Just a thought - does the forum think his face will be made of biodegradable plastics or will it need to be recycled??

10hrs down and he's the butt of 1000 jokes

[Edited on 26/6/09 by Steve G]


Jon Ison - 26/6/09 at 08:13 AM

yea, just had 3 txt with jacko jokes.........

jury's out for me, he didn't live any where near the real world


martyn_16v - 26/6/09 at 09:17 AM

Dammit, we were just finishing off negotiating a contract at the O2 for all his gigs, would have made a killing

Oh yes, sympathies to his family etc etc

LOL. I was thinking the same but didnt quite know how to put it.


02GF74 - 26/6/09 at 11:32 AM

What a coincidence Farrah F-M and MJ dying on the same day - one played with Majors, the other with minors .


McDonalds are set to launch a memorial burger called the McJacko. It will be 50 year old meat in 12 year old buns.


omega0684 - 26/6/09 at 11:55 AM

it appears to be true, there was a video of the coroners wheeling what was apparently was his body into the back of a medical van to be taken to the coroners office.

it has been all over the news this morning and both the programs "this morning" & "loose women" have announced that he is dead.

do you think it could be a conspiracy, fakes his own death to get out of all his dept problems?


Rod Ends - 26/6/09 at 11:56 AM

Funny Obit.

quote:
He spent his adulthood pretending to be a child.
For a while, he liked to hang out at Disneyland with Mickey Mouse,
one of the few A-list celebrities with whom he had anything in common
- not least the white gloves, squeaky voice, snub nose, bizarre albino face bearing no relation to the jet black surround,
and a penchant for hanging out with kids even though you’re well into middle age.


Jasper - 26/6/09 at 02:18 PM

Have you read what he called his kids:

Paris Michael Katherine, Prince Michael and Prince Michael II.

Maybe smacks of a little ego or a total lack of imagination? If I was one of them I'd be changing my name as soon as I legally could .....


mistergrumpy - 26/6/09 at 02:23 PM

I quite liked him in his day. Undoubtedly one of the coolest people around then.
What's to bet that someone starts a musical of his life? I bet they do. In fact I might take a walk to the bookies now and ask for the odds on some loser writing a musical about it.

Don't think you'll get very good odds on that, it's a dead cert IMO.


oadamo - 26/6/09 at 04:06 PM

hes not dead he was in the kids ward having a stroke

chrsgrain - 26/6/09 at 04:07 PM

A spokesman has told press that he has died, and the cause remains unknown. A pathologist was quoted as saying that 'sunshine' and 'moonlight' had been ruled out, and he was doing tests to see if 'a good time' was responsible, or whether something else was to blame.

The conspiracy theories have started already. So how did the family know by 9:56am then? Seriously large pinch of salt needed for that "exclusive" I think

Who's Michael Jackson?
