without getting into the bullshit that was his later life, Thriller & Bad were a huge part of my childhood and i've got mad respect for what he did up until his creepy shit started.
Wow, first I heard on TV that he was rushed to the hospital for something, then I heard that they performed CPR in the ambulance and now I read here that he's dead. Pretty surreal...
I was even kinda laughing when I heard about him going to the hospital, because I joked that it was probably something with his nose or something. But this sucks man. Especially liked Smooth Criminal and Beat It.
I'm literally in shock. It probably sounds silly but it's like a part of me died, I'm serious. I feel really old now lol. It's not just a person's death, it's the death of a whole era.
The only thing that makes me happy is that he accepted Islam. May he rest in peace and may God accept him back.
Always in threes, McMahon, Fawcett and now Jackson. Haven't really been a fan of his since the mid 90's but still sucks that he's dead. Now the media frenzy to come, ugh.
