It appears that The King of Pop, Michael Jackson has died today as the result of a cardiac arrest. He was 50.
The Los Angeles Times reports that Michael Jackson has died at age 50 after being rushed to UCLA Medical Center.
Los Angeles Fire Department Capt. Steve Ruda told the newspaper that Jackson was not breathing when paramedics arrived at his home and CPR was performed.
The very strange and unique life of Michael Jackson defies description. A child star, a musical talent and innovative dancer, Jackson has always been on both sides of the critics favour.
His lifestyle and personal choices in life often made him the subject of ridicule, but his musical talent is rarely challenged.
Michael Jackson even had a limited movie career appearing in The Wiz (1978), a hip adaptation of the Wizard of Oz where he played the Scarecrow. More recently Michael even did self mocking humour posing as himself in Men in Black 2 as the hopeful Agent M.
Shocking news. As odd as he was, 50 is too early for anyone to leave this world. He was just about to embark on his “comeback tour”.
I give to you the possibly inappropriate Zombie Jackson in Thriller:
Rest in peace Michael, your life was rarely peaceful.
