Michael Jackson Has Died
June 25th, 2009We’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. (Source)
I’m still a little hesitant to believe that Michael Jackson has died, but holy hell, this is sad. Forget about all the crap and allegations in the guy’s life; let’s focus on him being one hell of an entertainer, a humanitarian, and the King of Pop.
The first concert I ever when to was Michael Jackson during his Victory tour, and the photo I posted above was my first poster, which I reluctantly took down after having it on my door for several years. Thriller was the first music video I taped off the TV… hell, I can go on and on, just like any other kid who grew up in the 80s. I’m shocked and saddened. RIP dude.

Yeah, I’m totally with you.
Despite his freefall during the 90’s and into current day, I can still remember listening to my copy of Thriller when I was a kid.
It’s pretty strange when one of your childhood heroes passes on, especially because I didn’t think this would happen for many, many years to come.

That’s ashame. He had some good music. More and more people are dying young.
May Michael Jackson rest in peace despite some of the negative things said about him.

I fought off tears all day but seeing the videos and the stories about Michael I couldn’t help it. I grew up in the 80s too. I remember watching the Thriller video for the first time and the Moonwalker movie and I knew that this guy was on a different level. I played the game, had the posters on my wall. He changed my perspective on music, dancing and caring about the world. I still can’t believe I didn’t have the change to go to a concert and I was hoping to catch one of his last performances in London. R.I.P. Michael.
