do you think he is faking it? coincidence same day has Farrah!!

Definitely NOT fake, its all over the media

Even his family have made a statement, they would not do so if they were not mourning his passing. I suppose some people go into denial and hope that in a couple of weeks time he is back on stage.

All the touts who are holding tickets for his O2 shows are going to be gutted.

[Perdita]

The tabloids are going to be full now for the next couple of months with all kind of claims from people trying to cash in on his death, mostly made up, no doubt, in my opinion.

To be honest Perdy his life was so extremely weird most people would probably believe anything said about him.

I can't say I'm a big fan of him but its sad if he has died. I wonder what will happen to his kids, they must be so scared.

i agree, i'm not a fan of his, never have been and dont get the appeal. he's vastly overated in my opinion. but just like jade goody, even though i dont like him im sorry to hear he has died, and feel sorry for his poor children.

I agree with you 100%.

I really think there was something completely barking mad about him.

[Chris_2k11]

He wasn't 'barking mad' just had a lot of issues - doesn't make him mad.

I reckon though that a lot of stories will be vastly exaggerated if not made up alltogether. The man is dead, let him rest in peace, no need to rake up old stories, whether true or not.

Micheal Jackson was a musical genius.

He wrote most of his own songs as we as performing them, and he had such an individual style.

His (old) music is just as relevant today as it was when I was growing up. My kids have his stuff on their ipods.

Like many child stars he grew up in a goldfish bowl. He obviously developed mental health issues, self worth issues and reality issues.

Let him rest in peace, hopefully content in his own skin at last.

Mmm Injecting yourself so as you turn white, hanging your kiddie from a balcony, are hardly the actions of a sane man.

If someone here hung their child over a balcony the social would be on your case before you knew what hit you.

Oh yes he had issues but of course these were never proven.

Still its unfair to speak ill of the dead so I will not comment any further on his strange lifestyle. His music wasnt to my taste but there is no doubting his musical abilities.
