LOS ANGELES: Michael Jackson, the sensationally gifted "King of Pop" who emerged from childhood superstardom to become the entertainment world's most influential singer and dancer before his life and career deteriorated in a freakish series of scandals, died Thursday, a person with knowledge of the situation told The Associated Press.
He was 50.The person said Jackson died in a Los Angeles hospital.The person was not authorized to speak publicly and requested anonymity.The circumstances of his death were not immediately clear.
Jackson was not breathing when Los Angeles Fire Department paramedics responded to a call at his Los Angeles home about 12:30 p.m. local time (3:30 EDT, 19:30 GMT), Capt. Steve Ruda told the Los Angeles Times.The paramedics tried to resuscitate him and took him to UCLA Medical Center, Ruda told the newspaper.
Jackson's death brought a tragic end to a long, bizarre, sometimes farcical decline from his peak in the 1980s, when he was popular music's premier all-around performer, a uniter of black and white music who shattered the race barrier on MTV, dominated the charts and dazzled even more on stage.His 1982 album "Thriller" - which included the blockbuster hits "Beat It," "Billie Jean" and "Thriller" - remains the biggest-selling album of all time, with more than 26 million copies.
He was perhaps the most exciting performer of his generation, known for his feverish, crotch-grabbing dance moves, his high-pitched voice punctuated with squeals and titters.His single sequined glove and tight, military-style jacket were trademarks second only to his ever-changing, surgically altered appearance.
As years went by, he became an increasingly freakish figure.His skin became lighter and his nose narrower.He surrounded himself with children at his Neverland ranch, often wore a germ mask while traveling and kept a pet chimpanzee named Bubbles as one of his closest companions.In 2005, he was cleared of charges he molested a 13-year-old cancer survivor at Neverland in 2003.He had been accused of plying the boy with alcohol and groping him.The case took a fearsome toll on his career and image, and he fell into serious financial trouble.
Hundreds of people gathered outside the hospital as word of his death spread.The emergency entrance at the UCLA Medical Center, which is near Jackson's rented home, was roped off with police tape.In New York's Times Square, a low groan went up in the crowd when a screen flashed that Jackson had died, and people began relaying the news to friends by cell phone."No joke. King of Pop is no more. Wow," Michael Harris, 36, of New York City, read from a text message a friend sent to his telephone."It's like when Kennedy was assassinated. I will always remember being in Times Square when Michael Jackson died." - AP
La.. da meningal da mamat sekor ni.. ape nak buat.. Tuhan sayang kat die kot.. Maybe die pergi dulu sebelum buat banyak maksiat lagi.. tu la pergi dulu mase umur 50.. Islam,beb!!!!!
bagi sesetengah mat salleh ni, umor 50 tu mude lagi tu.. tapi tengok la Heather Ledge tu.. baru 20-an pon da blah da.. las2 die menang Oskar tyme dok dalam kubur..
tapi Mikael ni da pon menang 13 Grammy, pastu ade 13 No.1 hits kat Hot 100.
Album2 die ni pon sume dapat platinum and total = 75o juta jualan seluruh dunia.
die ni pon penah muncul ntah brape kali ntah kat Guiness World Record..
ye la, album "Thriller" tu da terjual 109 juta salinan kat seluruh dunia and last2 dinamakan sebagai
"Jualan Album Paling Laris Kat Atas Muka Bumi"
(album artis sekarang ni pon nak sampai sejuta pon susah.. kat US la...)
Video "Billy Jean" adalah first black artist video yang disiarkan kat MTV yang sebelom ni dimonopoli oleh penyanyi2 kulit putih..
Lagu "You're Not Alone" diiktiraf dalam G.W.R. as first song ever to made a debut at No.1 on Hot 100 Single Chart.. huhhh..
Pastu lagu2 die ni da dicover version kan oleh banyak artis2 skarang ni..
contoh "Smooth Criminal" - Alient Ant Farm, "Beat It" - Fall Out Boy, "Wanna Be Startin Something New" - Akon, "The Girl Is Mine" - Will.I.Am etc...
Lagu2 die pon kene cedok gak dan disampelkan dalam lagu "Don't Stop The Music" - Rihanna, "All Eyez On Me" - Monica etc..
Patot la orang panggil die "Raja Pop" bukan Jamal Abdillah, k...haha
And die ni pon leh la diletakkan setaraf dengan The Beatles and Elvis Presley which bring the evolution in music industry...
Patotnye bulan July ni, die kene wat sold-out 50 konsert and named as
"Comeback Of The Century" tapi die da back dulu.. So, no kam-bek2 dah...
So, condolence to Mikael ni....
