Rumours of Michael Jacksons death tonight have recently been confirmed. The King of Pop was 50 years old.
Statements suggest paramedics were called to his rented home after he stopped breathing. He lost consciousness and was taken to UCLA Hospital where he went into cardiac arrest.
Perhaps the most iconic showbiz celeb of the 20th century, his career has been dogged by controversy in recent years, yet his recent "comeback" appeared to swing public opinion back in his favour.
Most people however will remember him for his global hits such as Thriller, Bad, Man in the Mirror, Beat It, Smooth Criminal etc.
Be prepared for mass mourning on a scale not seen since Diana....
