Watching Sky News right now. They are saying Michael Jackson has died of cardiac arrest.

Not a surprise really...

Are they actually saying he has died? I saw he had a heart attack on bbc news but there has been no update there yet.

Off to google...

Yes they just said on Sky News. The Rueters news agency has reported he is in fact dead

Gosh! 50 is pretty young to die of a heart attack. I guess he did live a hard life.

not really sure what to say.

I'm not surprised at all to be honest!! He was always pumpd full of some kind of drug.

No I guess I am not surprised either. I am just watching it on BBC news at the moment. They are refusing to confirm he is dead but it does not look good.

Farrah Fawcett has died too. (Although the Age hasn't called Jacko's death yet.)

You gotta feel sorry for his kids - Michael Jackson, Jr., Paris Michael Jackson & Prince "Blanket" Michael Jackson II.

I hear they are not going to bury him.
They plan to recycle him into watering cans and bin liners....... Not sure if theyre gonna be white or black though

I hope he does get buried so he can crawl out his grave and dance in the streets!

Seriously though I'm really sad, I was a huge fan as a teenager.

Bugger..... now he may only be in a coma, it's a publicity stunt..

nope its just been confirmed by LA TIMES he has actually died......

No, they've changed their mind again..he dead now.

I was never really a fan altough i appreciated his talents, but he made my flesh creep after all the kiddie fiddling allegations

His record label has just released the following new song:
