Michael Jackson- Cardiac Arrest

[DjfunkmasterG]

Farrah, now Michael. Two in a day... Jesus Christ. Two Icons of the 70's and 80's. Sad day, June 25th.

[Yojimbo]

Yeah. . I guess it's sad and all, but after the fiasco his life has become. . . maybe it's a mercy too. I had the same thought.

The coroner just officially announced the death and said Jacko arrived at the hospital in full cardiac arrest. The news channels are on total takover here. Also, I got say something else about this. Why would he announce 50+ dates in London and name the tour 'This Is It'? Whether it's just some eerie coincidence or not, that is pretty spooky. Makes you think that he might have known about something from the doctor before he announced the tour. BTW, it has just been said that Jacko's death could be down to a recent medication switch.

Yeah. . I guess it's sad and all, but after the fiasco his life has become. . . maybe it's a mercy too. Yeah, the first thing I thought of was Elvis. Both had amazing early careers, then went into decline & died there. Very sad.

Well, despite my very negative opinion on his personal life I will say he did a lot as far as contributions to music and music videos especially are concerned. Tragic he fell from the top of the world and lived his last years the way he did.

RIP King of Pop. Made me smile as a youngster, though he will never know me. What a legend! Now I'm all depressed...

Yeah, the first thing I thought of was Elvis. Both had amazing early careers, then went into decline & died there. Very sad. People will be spotting Jackson at a tollbooth in central Montana within a month.

Anybody been to Amazon.com? Check Best Sellers on the music section. Michael's albums are Number 1-16.

I can't believe it, kings always die young

Only the good...

I'm willing to bet that MJ will have more albums released after his death than Tupac.... Sad loss, indeed. And I would have to agree with Coin. Even though he's had some....um...questionable times, this is the dude made thriller....

I'm willing to bet that MJ will have more albums released after his death than Tupac.... dude, come on. Tupacs had more postmortem albums than elvis.

[capncnut]

I'm willing to bet that MJ will have more albums released after his death than Tupac... Indeed. There's probably fifty or more Jackson Five cuts that haven't been widely released and would sell like hotcakes. Not to mention stuff from the 'Got To Be There' and 'Ben' eras. My bet is that they will be totally remastered and re-recorded with a more modern dancy flavour. And then there's remixes, b-sides, outtakes, concerts, etc.

[AcesandEights]

The man made Thriller. Thriller. 'Nuff said. Though it'll be interesting to see what news comes out in the coming years as to his supposed predilections, eccentric lifestyle and the health issues that ultimately led to his demise.

Indeed. There's probably fifty or more Jackson Five cuts that haven't been widely released and would sell like hotcakes. Not to mention stuff from the 'Got To Be There' and 'Ben' eras. My bet is that they will be totally remastered and re-recorded with a more modern dancy flavour. And then there's remixes, b-sides, outtakes, concerts, etc. Hmm, I wonder why they were not released sooner, it looked like he could have done with the money. Anyway RIP, Chamone!
