Title: MICHAEL JACKSON R.I.P.

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

I was at this concert, although I only heard most of it from outside. I got in for the last 25 min though - a load of people smashed down one of the barriers and I managed to get in. In front of me the police were hitting people in the face but I managed to get past unscathed. I was just googling for information about the concert and found this - "By the end of the night police had made 11 arrests - for vehicle damage and ticketless fans trying to storm the fences."

Post by: Saburo on June 28, 2009, 07:17:34 AM: It's gratifying that the tributes coming forth are of his musical legacy and his impact as a pop culture force. I just hope people can also deal with the inevitable dredging of utter muck that may surface in the next several months or even years. 'Cause it's gonna happen.

Post by: KLSADAKO on July 01, 2009, 05:30:00 AM: I have spent the past few days remembering the King of Pop by watching his vids and constantly listening to his music, especially "You are not Alone"

This is my tribute drawing to Michael..

Long LIVE the KING..

Did you draw it on paper then scan it in, or draw it on the computer?

Anyone who's seen a news channel in the last few hours will know that they released a clip of the final rehearsal 2 days before he died.

Some of the moonwalks are really clever.

Too many people seem to think the moonwalk is just walking backwards though XD I know the moonwalk is not easy to do, but come onnnnn, at least slide the feet somehow XD

Post by: Tuffty on July 08, 2009, 02:05:05 PM: I thought the remembrance service was well done, considering how much time they had to organise it, get guests etc. Was more personal than I had expected, I just thought it was going to be a series of artists performing songs. Though by watching it, you'd think Michael only sung ballads, but then you have to remember the tone of the ceremony and besides, the Ushers, Justins of the world couldn't do justice to one of Michael's faster songs.
