The King of Pop

Just about to go up to bed last night and the bf has six missed calls and a text from his mother saying "Reports in that Michael Jackson is dead". I think whoever you are, you will remember hearing that news and just feeling disbelief. We sat up for the best part of two hours following the developments hoping that it wouldn't be true.

It is such a tragedy for his young children, family and the music industry. Musically, the high regard everyone held Michael Jackson in was demonstrated in the sell-out fifty night tour in the UK planned for later this year. I think Chris Moyles summed it up best; "Michael Jackson was to me what I imagine Elvis was to another generation."

I expect rumours about the circumstances of his death will spread considering his financial situation as well as people's opinion over his controversial court cases. Heatworld published this morning reports that his cardiac arrest had occurred following injecting a strong painkiller; it is sad to think he was in so much pain that he had to resort to these measures.

RIP MJ
