Pop star Michael Jackson was taken by ambulance to a Los Angeles-area hospital Thursday afternoon, according to the Los Angeles Times.

The singer was reported to be in cardiac arrest and paramedics had to perform CPR in the ambulance.

Later reports say he had stopped breathing.

Police in Los Angeles have blockaded streets around Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles.

The singer was preparing to begin touring again, including a concert series at London's O2 arena — in his first tour since 1997.

Jackson, whose hits include Thriller and Billy Jean, has been rehearsing in the Los Angeles area for the past two months.

There had been recent reports that Jackson was in poor health and his London concert series, billed as a farewell to London, was postponed by a few days.

However, the concerts quickly sold out, a testament to the enduring appeal of the singer known as the King of Pop.

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

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

A source tells us Jackson was dead when paramedics arrived.

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

Man, this is most definitely stunning news....
Not something that can be easily put into proper words.

Sincere condolences go out to the Jackson family, and to Michaels children.

Godspeed and Godrest, Michael, we will all miss you greatly, but you will continue to live on through all the people's souls you have touched all over the world.

I'm amazed my Twitter feed hasn't imploded from the stress. This completely overtakes everything else for the week, I think.

This is so shocking and crazy~ I can't believe he's gone....

He is such an icon, and I will miss him.

I know that he's had some drama in his life, but I still respect him and his music. It's still so hard to believe.

RIP

I'm super in shock. Just got home from a group meeting, and suddenly find out he died... Somehow it felt like someone like him would never succumb to anything... =/

After living his whole life in the eyes of the media, I hope now he can finally rest in peace.
