People will be talking about this all evening.
Pop giant Michael Jackson, who took to the stage as a child star and went on to set the world dancing to the thumping rhythms of his music for decades, died Thursday, TMZ website reported. He was 50.
"We've just learned Michael Jackson has died," TMZ said.
"Michael suffered a cardiac arrest earlier this afternoon and paramedics were unable to revive him. We're told when paramedics arrived Jackson had no pulse and they never got a pulse back," the entertainment site said.
There was no official confirmation of the reported death and spokespersons for Jackson could not be reached for comment.
On one hand this is tragic, on another I am not sure his comeback tour would have done that well.
His music will go on though.
Update: Thanks for the rec list.
Someone mentioned in the comments about how he was working out for the tour. If you remember Robin Williams had heart issues when he did his last tour. Just something to think about.
I would update with pics and you tubes but there are some in the comments and I have a feeling anything Jackson related will be hard to get to for awhile.
My radio station played "Thriller" of course what always did it for me with that song was Vincent Price. I think Michael was the first to make a cinematic sort of music video though. It's been so long though I cannot remember. I do remember that he used MTV to it's fullest that's for sure.
Back when it played music.
Feel free to keep adding your favorite 80s childhood memories related to his music.
