OT: Michael Jackson 

Post#1 » by Luxury » Thu Jun 25, 2009 10:28 pm

Via radio, via twitter, and etc. has confirmed that the King of Pop has passed away. Truly a sad day. He was a legend in his own right. Just like Kobe and others, his greatness comes only once in a generation. A moment of grieve, then a moment to celebrate his life. RIP MJ

Just heard about this 10 minutes ago...

Really sad, especially the way his life ended up.

Oh, man...that's sad. :(

He was by far the greatest POP singer we knew.

It's really sad. I never was a big fan of him, but anyway, he was great in doing his job before his recent troubles.
