Michael Jackson Dead

According to TMZ. Pretty crazy, part of me thinks it was inevitable though.... him dying soon, not him dying in general, as that was always going to happen.

Michael Jackson Dies

Posted Jun 25th 2009 5:20PM by TMZ Staff

Michael JacksonWe'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.

Once at the hospital, the staff tried to resuscitate him but he was completely unresponsive.

We're told one of the staff members at Jackson's home called 911.

La Toya ran in the hospital sobbing after Jackson was pronounced dead.

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

RIP, he was a legend and I often liked to use him in my pedo-jokes. First Farah Fawcett and then Michael Jackson.

Now my other question is...

Do I get a refund for the 4 tickets of 250 euro's each that I paid for his London concert?

This has not been confirmed yet. Reports say he's still in coma and in hospital. But will see.

But either way, if it's true, it's sad to see a brilliant artist/performer like him pass away little too early, even there were times when I didn't like him, overall the good outweighs the bad.

Are you under the impression I've never left Holland?

It's pretty much confirmed he's dead though.

That certainly was surprising news to wake up to. For all his wackiness, he certainly was a gifted performer and a legend in the music industry; it's just a shame the last fifteen or sixteen years have his life/career have been marred by embarrassing legal troubles and unusual personal decisions. Rest in peace.

Apparently you have lost the ability to read and comprehend.

I asked if you were under the impression of me never having been outside of Holland, you responded by saying "oh you aren't in Holland? That's good news."

Yeah, was too hard for me to follow. Crawl back under your rock, dumbass redneck.

Pretty crazy stuff. Even if he was not so much in the spotlight those past few years, it's still hard to imagine him dead.

There's also rumours that Jeff Goldblum is dead, apparently fell down 60 feet, while on the set of his new movie in NZ. Only source that I have is this. If this this is true, RIP, I've always liked him for some reasons.

Good news that it's a hoax, but kind of sad people like to start those rumours with various celebrities.
