A Legend Is Gone - Michael Jackson (1958 - 2009)

King of Pop, Michael Jackson died yesterday at UCLA Medical Center after being taken there from his rented home in Holmby Hills. Paramedics tried to resuscitate him at his home for nearly three-quarters of an hour, then rushed him to the hospital, where doctors continued to work on him.
According to his brother Jermaine, "It is believed he suffered cardiac arrest in his home. However, the cause of his death is unknown until results of the autopsy are known". Police said they were investigating, standard procedure in high-profile cases.
His 1982 album "Thriller" — which included the hits "Beat It," "Billie Jean" and "Thriller" — is the best-selling album of all time, with an estimated 50 million copies sold worldwide.
At the time of his death, MJ was preparing for what was to be his greatest comeback: He was scheduled for an unprecedented 50 shows at a London arena, with the first set for July 13.
We'll miss him, that's for sure. R.I.P. Michael.
