Michael Jackson is dead!

[Simon]

Michael Jackson, the sensationally gifted child star who rose to become the "King of Pop" and the biggest celebrity in the world only to fall from his throne in a freakish series of scandals, died Thursday. He was 50. Jackson died at UCLA Medical Center in Los Angeles. Ed Winter, the assistant chief coroner for Los Angeles County, confirmed his office had been notified of the death and would handle the investigation.

This was a bit unexpected to say the least...

It was shocking! How many young talented people have we lost to either drugs or alcohol? It just goes on and on, one life after another. I find this so sad, especially for the children.
