WESTWOOD—American icon and pop singer Michael Jackson died on Thursday, June 25, according to breaking reports. TMZ first reported that Jackson, 50, passed away.
Jackson was known for his slew of popular songs over the last four decades, including "Thriller" and "Billie Jean" and for his now-legendary mini-movie/music video for "Thriller" which is still a very popular song and music video today, more than 20 years later.
Jackson was also known for his singular antics off the stage, including his wearing of pajamas to court appearances and apparently dangling one of his children off of a balcony.
According to available information, authorities responded to a call that Jackson was in distress early on Thursday afternoon, and soon after transported him to the world famous UCLA Medical Center.
MichaelJackson.com reveals that the singer and proclaimed "King of Pop" was scheduled to perform in quite a few concerts in the United Kingdom between July 8, 2009 and March 6, 2010.
Jackson would have been 51 this August.

finally, small children everywhere can sleep a little easier knowing they won’t be raped by this circus freak. I hope the end was painful for him, as he never got justice.

Some say he is dead, some say he’s still alive. This guy is more confused than Schrodinger’s Cat.

Or what about Ariel Sharon, who’s still alive after being in a coma for over three years.

CBS just broke in saying LA Times says he is dead.
TMZ broke the story — this is going to be their version of Drudge’s breaking of the Monica Lewinski story.

The 70’s died when Ronald Reagan was inaugurated and saved us from them, and not a moment too soon.
