Michael Jackson dies at 50

On a magical night in 1983, Michael Jackson struck a pose on stage, clasping the black fedora on his head with his white sequined glove. His black jacket and silver vest glittered as white socks showed under his high-water black pants. Then he erupted into a flurry of fluid dance moves in a performance of Billie Jean that would catapult the former child singing sensation into full-blown superstardom.
Probably no celebrity has been as revered and reviled over the past 40 years as Jackson, 50, who died Thursday in Los Angeles, according to the Associated Press. The troubled, reclusive star was rushed to UCLA Medical Center by paramedics responding to a call from his home at about 12:30 p.m.
The cause of Jackson's death was not immediately announced, nor were circumstances surrounding it. Jackson was not breathing when Los Angeles Fire Department paramedics got to his Los Angeles home, Capt. Steve Ruda told the Los Angeles Times. The paramedics performed CPR and took him to UCLA Medical Center, Ruda told the newspaper.
Jackson had been scheduled next month to begin the first of 50 sold-out concerts at London's O2 Arena, a testament to his enduring popularity with fans around the world, a love affair that reached a peak on that March evening 26 years ago.

Sigh!!! Gosh, what can I say. What a loss of a great artist! I grew up singing and dancing to his songs!!! Love his music videos. It's a bit sad to hear all the controversies about him for the last 10 years or so. Nevertheless, during the 80s and 90s, he was really a big part of our lives. I remember singing in the class when we were in Form 3, with my friend Lee Mei, to all his songs in the BAD album, one after another. That was a great album. Remember... I just can't stop loving you a duet with Siedah Garrett? That was a great song wasn't it? Check it out here.
