There is speculation, not confirmed, that he may have died.

If he is dead I'm sorry to hear of his demise. He was a gifted musician and composer but did not agree with his life style!!!

Yea, it's a contest of who reports it first...all TMZ cares about is the web site hits. If there wrong they will just issue an apology.

Exactly Jen!

TMZ is a real-life "Gossip Girl" if you have ever watched that show.

Looks likes it been confirmed

I can still remember waiting up to watch the Thriller video for its debut showing and see the video's for the early hits. And who can forget Billie Jean at the Motown Awards?

R.I.P. Michael Jackson.

The King of Pop
