Michael Jackson has died.

[Calibre]

It's on the news channels currently, can't find an internet link yet. It seems he died of heart failure. He was due to begin touring here in under a month. Pretty big news.

So this IS real, I bloody knew it !

And here's a weblink that I saw it on;

Poor ol' Jacko...

Here's one last moonwalk for you !.....

HEEE HEEE *meant to be high pitch noise*

R.I.P ol' buddy.

 

[Ellie]

It's rumours so far.

http://www.tmz.com/ is where the rumours are from.

Is the Sky News report.

This is really shitty if he has died. Whatever he did or didn't do the man did some really good music.

 

[Olivia]

Just watched it too. Some say coma, some say death. We'll have to wait for an official announcement or until tomorrow for the real news.

 

[Ellie]

Whatever happens he's got a glorious life ahead of him on Fiji.

wyatt the bbc have it scrolling across their screen on the news channel, it would be irresponsible if they didn't know.

 

[Calibre]

I meant I couldn't find a link confirming the actual death, but the BBC live news channel has it as breaking news.

Yeah just watched it too they say tmz, the LA Times and some other source have inside hospital sources that confirmed he died. That came from nowhere. My friend never got to see him perform, suckage.

I'm a Brit and lazy so I won't believe it until it's on news.bbc.co.uk, at which point I'll believe it like a dog believes in Santa Claws

Just for you Wyatt. It's live right now.

the world tunes in to watch the pop idol's funeral.

as the procession draws to a close and the priest begins his recitation, the eulogy abruptly cuts out. a fine mist begins to wash over the graveyard. booming overhead to replace the last rites is the amplified and unmistakable voice of vincent price.

two notes ring out over the hushed masses.

dancers in zombie makeup leap out from behind the tombstones

the man himself, fully outfitted in his old thriller costume and zombie makeup of his own, throws the lid off his coffin and leads the dancers in an all too familiar set of motions.

it's thriller time once again.

How did you know.

 

[Incognitus]

I suppose now all we're going to get to here about over and over again for the next few weeks is biographies, profiles and tributes to the man in a sickening panoply of His-Music-Was-Great-don't-mention-the-little-boysism

Honestly!

Now, if he was a black musician, they'd probably just ignore the story...

 

[mawk]

what little boys? as far as the story goes, it seems more likely that the man was just trying to have the childhood he never had. that's why he had that whole fixation on peter pan. it's creepy behaviour for an adult, yeah, but there's no proof of a true-blue sexual aspect.

I never actually there was anything sexual to the relationships.

 

[mawk]

oh, yeah I didn't think of that. it just completely wrecks the context in which you said it; nothing big

 

[Mirku]

He's off to neverland now.
Too bad if he's dead though, I mean he was a legend plus he had those concerts and stuff planned out. Sucks man :sad:

You think it's bad for him?! He's just dead: I've been speculating on those concert tickets for some time now and still have a couple that I've been holding on to in order to squeeze the maximum I can therefrom!

:haha:
