Modern pop icon, Michael Jackson, is pronounced dead today at the age of 50. Although Jackson’s music career hit its peak in the 80’s, his influence on music, and especially music videos, has persisted throughout.

“Michael suffered a cardiac arrest earlier this afternoon at his Holmby Hills home and paramedics were unable to revive him. We’re told when paramedics arrived Jackson had no pulse and they never got a pulse back.

A source tells us Jackson was dead when paramedics arrived. A cardiologist at UCLA tells TMZ Jackson died of cardiac arrest.

Once at the hospital, the staff tried to resuscitate him but he was completely unresponsive.

A source inside the hospital told us there was “absolute chaos” after Jackson arrrived. People who were with the singer were screaming, “You’ve got to save him! You’ve got to save him!”

We’re told one of the staff members at Jackson’s home called 911.

LaToya ran in the hospital sobbing after Jackson was pronounced dead.

Michael is survived by three children: Michael Joseph Jackson, Jr., Paris Michael Katherine Jackson and Prince “Blanket” Michael Jackson II.”

The death of one of the world’s greatest pop stars is having a global impact. Jackson’s death is creating headlines like, “Michael Jackson Dies: Twitter Tributes Now 30% of Tweets” on the social media circuit.

This is the shocking news that was heard around the world just a few short hours ago. Michael Jackson definitely played a part in my life. He was very inspiring as I was growing up. His music, Great! His image, however, well you know.  I guess like many of us MJ was uniquely different & people had to get their talk on.  Michael Jackson had a rough life and in my eyes will always be a legend and a great influence on my musical backround!

That is why I decided to do this little tribute to Michael Jackson, in order to celebrate his death with a few of my favorite tunes.

Everyone who recognizes Great music should recognize him as one of the Greatest Artists Ever! Michael Jackson paved the way for many artists today in addition to inspiring many “regular” music lovers like myself.

Named the “Most Successful Entertainer of All Time” by the Guinness World Records, Michael Jackson is among the most highly acclaimed and influential artists in pop culture. He was named the World Music Award’s Best-Selling Pop Male Artist of the Millennium and received the American Music Award’s Artist of the Century Award. He has been inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame twice: in 1997 as a member of the Jackson 5 and as a solo artist in 2001.

Let Michael Jacksons spirit & inspiration live on forever…

May Your Spirit Live On Through Your Music

REST IN PEACE
