I did not really like him either R.I.P. also Farrah Fawcett.
What i do not like is the two "JOKES" that i have had sent to me vie mobile phone this morning about him and children. Everybody is flawed but why should people carry it on even in death.

No it won't affect my life but I love his music and I feel so sad at the passing of such talent. I'm also sorry that Farrah Fawcett has died. Wasn't there sunshine in her smile?

I wasn't a Michael Jackson fan, although I did like some of his music but I was quite shocked and feel a lot of sympathy for someone who was so troubled in life. Won't affect my life but I hope he's at peace now.

I'm very sorry about Farrah Fawcett's death

Heartbroken :'(

Hi brother Jermaine announced his death On Australian News at 9.30am Perth Time (2.30am UK time) and asked the media to respect their privacy until an autopsy has been conducted.

He wasn't one of my favourites but he sure could dance

R I P Michael and Condolences to his children and family

Jackie

He was a true showman,I thought he was brilliant!!

Yes,he had a lot of Issues and that I find very sad.
R.I.P Michael

Until his morning I was unaware that MJ was hospitalised, and I am greatly saddened to hear that he has died.

A great shame, and a loss to the music industry. I enjoyed his early music with the Jackson 5, and his later work as a solo artist.

What a shock
Although I must admit I was not one of his greatest fans,he did make a great contribution to music

Just heard this on the radio, thought I was hearing things until the bloke mentioned Jermaine :o(((

Just had hubby on the phone asking if I heard the news (hes on the way to work) both of us feel shocked as he was so young & the last person we would have thought of to have his death announced this morning :o(((

Michael hasnt been well for ages, Im wondering if there was an underlying problem he has had for some time leading to this ?

My thoughts go out to his family and close friends at this time x

What a waste of time the face mask and oxygen tank were.

I hope his 3 children can now begin to lead a normal life, but god knows how much counciling they will have to go through before they will feel able to blend in with the rest of the human race.

Stevie i totally agree

Just on CNN

The LA coroner had announced the death of Michael Jackson.

Stevie tsk tsk lol.

I'm watching it on sky now and sorry guys..but to me that aint MJ they are showing. The guy is too big for him, jaw bones,hands,teeth etc.
Or is it just me?

Marion

Shocked to hear of Michael's death. He was very talented,but I liked him best when he was very young and singing with his brothers.

Berona... I liked some of his music..and his looks years ago till he went a bit...mmm lol.
I just dont know what to think regards children etc.

I'm absolutely gutted, and was so looking forward to seeing him live on the 18th.

Nothing has been confirmed yet.
The "official" word is that he is in a coma.

CNN are reporting that the LA Times have confirmed he is dead.
Nothing from the family or hospital as of yet.

How very sad

such a talented showman and such a damaged person.

I hope he finally finds some peace.

Michael's music has never been to my liking, but I allow he has made a great contribution to those younger than I am and I have taken an interest in him since his 'downfall' after those accusations.

I would be the last person to defend a paedophile, but it has always seemed strange to me that there were not more accusers, if such was the case. I feel that he handled those situations badly by paying them off to get it behind him, where a court case might have had a different outcome.

With his money, he could afford to be a 'big kid' himself and I felt that he enjoyed the company of children. If he was guilty of molesting them, I have no time for him, but it is a terrible thing to be accused of if the person is innocent. May he rest in peace.

How sad

I saw him in concert about 1978 in Leicester with his brothers, he was brilliant.
