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.

Don’t forget David Carradine.
No kidding, that’s uncanny.
>>CBS just broke in saying LA Times says he is dead.
Wow, that is crack reporting!<<
Worse, LAT was quoting TMZ...
That’s awful. Shepard Smith just called Michael Jackson a colored kid. Awful.
Farrah Fawcett and Ed McMahon died with the Sacraments, which is all that really matters.
I hope turning to Islam worked out for him....:-/
The only thing I can say is that I hope he truly was broke so those scumbag parents of his don’t get any money.
Obama’s fault.
Would any freeper have performed mouth to mouth resuscitation on him? Not me, not even for a million bucks.
What will his moocher family do for money?
I bet the cell phone cameras were clicking away on that ambulance ride and in the hospital.
How soon will his death pic show up in the Enquirer?
Some of those paramedics and hospital staff will never have to work again.
Will her be buried with his plastic nose?
Sure you weren't listening to a story about the GOP?
Michael Jackson Dead At 50
—
Kinda young, dying at 50...
Only in America could a black boy grow up to become a rich white woman.
# 3 was Ed McMahon.
I just pray the children now get a shot at normal lives...and there is enough money left to raise them.
A fitting end to a drama filled life. Nobody can deny the man was a genius but unfortunately for the past 15 years, he was pathetic freak.
Not trying to be callus, but is it appropriate to say God Bless to a cult member?
My prayers are with his children and his family as they will have to get real jobs now that their meal ticket is gone.
May all those crowded emotions and impulses be sorted out in the afterlife
Sorry, it’s too late for that now!
(Shep Smith just confirmed it on Fox.)
I hope someone is standing by to resuscitate Sheppy, he is way beyond breathless in his report.
(meanwhile back in Congress, they can’t believe their luck in having their agenda out of the “news’).
Let the Michael Jackson sightings begin.
