Pop idol Michael Jackson dies aged 50
Michael Jackson
American pop legend Michael Jackson has died of a heart attack in a Los Angeles hospital late on June 25.
The pop legend, whose life was deeply rooted in controversy, had been hoping to give his career another kick start, and was just about to perform in sold out shows in London when he passed away.
He had had a history of health problems prior to his sudden and tragic death, and speaking on behalf of the Jackson family, Jermaine said doctors had tried to resuscitate the star for more than an hour without success, the BBC has reported.
He added: "The family request that the media please respect our privacy during this tough time."
"And Allah be with you Michael always. I love you."
The pop legend was driven to University of California at Los Angeles medical late on June 25 and paramedics had administered cardiopulmonary resuscitation in the ambulance, but it was too late as he never regained consciousness and was reported dead about three hours later.
Earlier his father, Joe Jackson, had told the TMZ.com website, as reported by The Guardian "He is not doing well."
Michael Jackson will be yet another legendary figure who will go down in history immersed in controversy and mystery. His contribution and impact on the world of music is immense, unparalleled and unquestionable. He was an extraordinary talent who touched the hearts and minds of millions of fans internationally. However, details regarding his private life had done much to affect his career and to a great extent, contributed to the deterioration of his health.
He sold over 750m albums worldwide and won 13 Grammy awards. But he had withdrawn from the public eye, taking his last tour in 1997 and releasing his last album of new material in 2001.

Micheal i remember sometimes in 1983, when you released you album tagged "Triller" it was the bomb, you made life so intresting for we young lads as at that time, each party we went too, we requested for your music. Sincerely it is not easy for me now, to come to terms with the fact that you are no more, pls do rest in peace, in Jesus Name, Amen
You have finally found a resting place without all the world haters.
But your fans dearly miss you and will always remember YOU as the KING OF POP..God rest your soul which never found peace on earth for a while...We love and miss YOU!Condolences to the Jackson family.
Such a terrible news. We lost the king of pop. a fan since thriller.

For the fans, we'd miss you... Words would not be able to express our grief. We love you
For non-fans, even if you hate him, there is an inner part of you that loves him. You only need search.

God bless u!
A very sad day. He will be missed greatly. But his spirit will live on through his music.
He was the greatest entertainer of all time. The world is a much poorer place without hime. Will we ever see such talent and genius again, I dont think so. He will on forever in the hearts of billions, and for many many years. He was my hero, but must admit, he lost my support for a while, but when he was aquited, I believed in his music again. As a person, I think he was siply wierd, excentric, and miss-understood. May Allah give you piece beyond this world.
It is so very sad to hear of his death. He will be sadly missed. :(
:( just became populour again :( now gone!! we miss u
He is the King of Pop forever.May his soul rest in peace.
gonna miss you u are a legend ... r.i.p ...xxxxxxxxxxxxx

he is the best someone cud find,no one can replace him and his talent,my love for u will never die MJ.. Rest In Peace my dearest!

I heard that he is not really dead but has gone into hiding to avoid his debts. Rumours are that he is in a small hotel near Silistra's Pelican Lake.. I've seen at least 4 independent confirmed sightings mentioned on Twitter and 3 on Facebook!

Irrespective of his religion - chosen or otherwise - he made people happy - we should not forget him or his endeavors. Whatever he was, let us celebrate diversity and know him as what he was and what we cannot take away from him - his dues.

To the world...Regardless of Michaels Creed, Gender,Sexuality or beliefs, for the simple reason god put Michael Jackson on this planet is enough o be sadden that we have lost him.
He changed the world with his music, and that music that amazing accomplishment will live on forever.. whether you agree or disagree with his lifestyle.. which nobody truly knows anyway what the truth is...it's all speculation,hype and hearsay.
We live in a world where the public and the press love you where your up there and spit on you when your not..
