Michael Jackson’s death has seen numerous pop culture icons to leave their condolences. TMZ.com reports the following…
Paul McCartney
"I feel privileged to have hung out and worked with Michael. He was a massively talented boy man with a gentle soul. His music will be remembered forever and my memories of our time together will be happy ones.”
Corey Feldman
"I come to you today with great sadness, acknowledging the loss of the greatest entertainer in the history of mankind. For me he was more than that, he was my idol, he was a role model, he was someone to cry to when my childhood was unbearable, he was a brother, he was a dear friend."
"Unfortunately Michael and I had a falling out on Septenmber 10th 2001 and that broken friendship had never been repaired. I have stayed close with his family through the years. As a matter of fact my wife and I attended LaToyas birthday thrown by Janet 3 weeks ago on Susie's actual birthday. Michael was supposed to be there and we were supposed to try and talk things out. Michael didn't show because he was stuck in rehearsals for his upcoming tour.
I am trembling and shaking at the moment and it is very hard to type. I am filled with tremendous sadness and remorse. All I choose to remember from this point is the good times we shared and what an inspiration he was to me and the rest of the world. Nobody will ever be able to do what Michael Jackson has done in this industry, and he was so close to doing it all again. I am truly, and deeply sorry for all of the heartbroken fans and supporters worldwide. I think I am still in shock. So I must end this now.
As far as our concert on Saturday at Universal goes. I will not cancel this show it is a very positive first step in implementing a better standard for the touring world and music industry. As Michael taught me a long time ago......the show must go on. It will be a hard one to get through. But I will brave it and do the only thing I know how to do.........perform.”
Madonna
"I can't stop crying over the sad news. I have always admired Michael Jackson. The world has lost one of the greats, but his music will live on forever!
My heart goes out to his three children and other members of his family. God bless."
Justin Timberlake
”I can't find the words right now to express how deeply sadden [sic] I am by Michael's passing. We have lost a genius and a true ambassador of not only Pop music, but of all music. He has been an inspiration to multiple generations and I will always cherish the moments I shared with him on stage and all of the things I learned about music from him and the time we spent together. My heart goes out to his family and loved ones.”
Eddie Van Halen
"I am really shocked; as I'm sure the world is, to hear the news. I had the pleasure of working with Michael on 'Beat It' back in '83 -- one of my fondest memories in my career. Michael will be missed and may he rest in peace.”
John Landis
"I was lucky enough to know and work with Michael Jackson in his prime. Michael was an extraordinary talent and a truly great international star. He had a troubled and complicated life and despite his gifts, remains a tragic figure. My wife Deborah and I will always have great affection for him."
UPDATE: The autopsy of Michael Jackson is now complete and King of Pop's emaciated body was riddled with needle marks and scars, and his head was virtually bald. His body had wasted away to a mere 112 pounds and his stomach was completely empty except for partially dissolved pills, according to the London Sun.
Who was Michael Jackson : Michael Jackson was born in Gary, Indiana to a working class family on August 29, 1958. His father, Joseph, was a steel mill employee and often performed in various R&B groups. His mother was a stay at home mom and a devout Jehovah’s Witness.
Michael was the seventh of nine children; his siblings include Rebbie, Jackie, Tito, Jermaine, La Toya, Marlon, Randy and Janet.
His father both physically and mentally abused Michael while growing up. His brother, Marlon, recounted one such altercation where Joseph held Michael upside down and "pummeled him over and over again with his hand, hitting him on his back and buttocks". Jackson’s childhood abuse would follow him throughout his life.
Michael showed a knack for music very early in his life, at the age of 5 he was performing in front of classmates and others during a Christmas recital. The following year both Marlon and Michael joined the “Jackson Brothers”, which consisted of Jackie, Tito and Jermaine. At first Michael held conga and tambourine duties, then moved up to backup vocals and soon he took over lead vocals from Jermaine.
The groups name was changed to “The Jackson 5” and they toured the Midwest extensively on the “chitlin circuit” (name given to black clubs). The group, of boys mind you, would often open for various stripteases and other adult acts.
In 1968 The Jackson 5 signed with Motown Records. Rolling Stone magazine has been quoted calling you Michael “a prodigy” and “child's piping voice, he danced like a grown-up hoofer and sang with the R&B/gospel inflections of Sam Cooke, James Brown, Ray Charles and Stevie Wonder”.
The Jackson 5 would set various chart records for their 4 biggest hits; “I Want You Back”, “ABC”, “The Love You Save” and “I’ll Be There”).
Beginning in 1972 Michael released a total of four solo studio albums, which included “Got to Be There” and “Ben”. The Jackson 5 left Motown in 1975 after they were denied creative control or input.
In June 1975 The Jackson 5 found a new home with CBS Records and later Epic Records. After a legal battle with Motown The Jackson 5 re-titled themselves The Jackson’s. A total of six new albums were released between 1976 and 1984, with Michael as the lead songwriter.
In 1978 Jackson starred as Scarecrow in The Wiz. While on set Michael met Quincy Jones, who scored the movie, the two would have long last friendship. Jones agreed to produce Michael’s next solo album, Off the Wall.
During a strenuous dance practice, Michael broke his nose and was forced to have rhinoplasty. He often complained of trouble breathing, and would have several more surgeries in an attempt to fix the problem.
Off the Wall featured songs written by Paul McCartney, Stevie Wonder and Rod Temperton. It was one of the first US albums to generate four US top 10 hits. The album reached number three on the Billboard 200. Off the Wall featured one of Michael’s best songs “Don’t Stop ‘Til You Get Enough”.
Although Off the Wall was a huge success, Michael felt it should have made a much bigger impact and vowed his next album would do just that. His next album was Thriller.
Thriller was released in 1982 and was the apex of Michael’s career. The album was in the top 10 of the Billboard 200 for 80 consecutive weeks, 37 weeks at number one. Seven singles from Thriller made the Billboard Hot 100 top 10, including “Billie Jean”, “Beat It”, “Wanna Be Startin’ Somethin” and of course the title track “Thriller”. Thriller went on to sell upwards of 109 million copies, which made it one of the best selling albums of all time.
Thriller was very lucrative for Jackson, who garnered the highest royalty rate ever in the music industry, almost $2 per album.
On March 25, 1983 Michael performed live on the Motown 25K Yesterday, Today, Forever television special. While singing Billie Jean Michael debuted his signature move “The Moonwalk”. His performance was seen by nearly 47 million people and drew comparisons to The Beatles and Elvis performing on The Ed Sullivan Show”.
On January 27, 1984 Michael was severely burned while filming a Pepsi commercial at the Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles. Shortly after he had his second rhinoplasty and began to grow self conscious about his appearance.
In the late 1980’s Michael co-wrote, “We Are the World” with Lionel Richie. The song was to raise money for the poverty stricken people of Africa. The song became one of the biggest selling singles of all time, with nearly 20 million copies in circulation.
Around this same time Michael purchased The Beatles’ back catalog of music for an astounding 47.5 million dollars. Michael’s purchase would fracture his friendship with former Beatle Paul McCartney and lead him to say, “I think it's dodgy to do things like that. To be someone's friend and then buy the rug they're standing on”.
Rumors began to spread about Michael sleeping in a hyperbaric oxygen chamber to slow the aging process, this turned out to be a publicity stunt for his upcoming sci-fi movie directed by Francis Ford Coppola, Captain EO.
Michael earned the nickname “Wacko Jacko” after a series of odd media stories which included his rumored purchase of the bones of The Elephant Man, purchase of pet chimpanzee Bubbles, and rumors of him possibly bleaching his skin.
The skin-bleaching rumor started because Michael’s skin was getting lighter due to a disease known as vitiligo and lupus. The treatments for the disease only further lightened his skin to the point of almost looking Caucasian. The structure of his face changed as well, and it’s been speculated that Michael had undergone multiple surgeries; forehead lift, thinned lips and cheekbone surgery. Some of the changes were done due to the significant weight loss. It’s unclear if the weight loss was caused by the disease or by anorexia.
Michael released the following statement after he grew tired of the media's portrayal of him.
"Why not just tell people I'm an alien from Mars. Tell them I eat live chickens and do a voodoo dance at midnight. They'll believe anything you say, because you're a reporter. But if I, Michael Jackson, were to say, 'I'm an alien from Mars and I eat live chickens and do a voodoo dance at midnight,' people would say, 'Oh, man, that Michael Jackson is nuts. He's cracked up. You can't believe a damn word that comes out of his mouth."
Michael released his first album in five years titled “Bad”. Although Bad didn’t live up to the hype after Thriller it was still a commercial success. In the US it spawned several hits some of which include; "I Just Can't Stop Loving You", "Bad", "The Way You Make Me Feel", "Man in the Mirror" and "Dirty Diana".
After his Bad tour was over Michael purchased land near Santa Ynez, California to construct Neverland Ranch, which cost ore than $17 million. The 2,700-acre ranch featured Ferris wheels, a movie theater, and a menagerie. A staff of 40 security guards was hired to patrol the grounds. In 2003 the property was valued at over $100 milliondollars.
After Michael’s long success in the music industry he began being called “The King of Pop” – a nickname coined by a friend of his, Elizabeth Taylor.
In March 1991 Michael released his eighth studio album “Dangerous”. The first single, and biggest hit, was “Black or White”. Dangerous is considered as the most successful New Jack Swing album of all time.
A 13-year-old child named Jordan Chandler and his father Evan Chandler accused Michael of child sexual abuse, a claim that Michael denied from day one. The kid claimed that Michael “touched his penis”. Later Evan police that “Jackson had engaged in acts of kissing, masturbation and oral sex”, as well as giving a detailed description of what he alleged were the singer's genitals.
Neverland Ranch was searched and Michael agreed to a 25-minute strip search, so a comparison could be done against Evan’s description of his genitals.
The case was settled out of court for $22 million. After the case was over Evan Chandler was tape-recorded saying, “If I go through with this, I win big-time. There's no way I lose. I will get everything I want and they will be destroyed forever...Michael's career will be over”.
Later that same year Michael marred Lisa Marie Presley, daughter of Elvis, secretly in the Dominican Republic. The two denied the marriage for nearly two months. Presley described the marriage as, “a married couple's life ... that was sexually active”. The two divorced less than two years later.
In 1995 Michael released HIStory: Past, Present and Future, Book I. The first disc, HIStory Begins, was a 15-track greatest hits album, the second disc, HIStory Continues, contained 15 new songs. It was the best-selling multiple-disc album of all-time.
While on tour for HIStory Michael married a dermatologist nurse, Deborah Jeanne Rowe. The two would have two kids together - a son, Michael Joseph Jackson, Jr. (also known as "Prince"), and a daughter, Paris Michael Katherine Jackson. The two had first met in the mid 1980’s when Michael was first diagnosed with vitiligo. The two divorced in 1999 and Michael was given full custody of the children.
Michael released "Invincible" in October 2001, his last studio album. Around this same time Michael helped organize the United We Stand: What More Can I Give benefit concert at RFK Stadium in Washington, D.C.
Michael’s third child, Prince Michael Jackson II (also known as Blanket), was born in 2002. The mother was never identified. He claimed that the birth was a result of artificial insemination from a surrogate mother and his own sperm. In November of that year Michael caused global criticism when he dangled “Blanket” over a balcony in Berlin, Germany.
In 2003 Michael was charged with seven counts of child sexual abuse and two counts of administering an intoxicating agent in order to commit that felony. All of the charges stemmed from the same boy, Gavin Arvizo, who was 14 at the time of the alleged crime.
Once again Michael claimed his innocence, stating that he would have the boy over to watch television. Elizabeth Taylor would corroborate this story later on Larry King Live.
During the investigation Jackson was examined by a mental health professional, Dr. Stan Katz, the doctor stated, “Jackson had become a regressed 10-year-old and did not fit the profile of a pedophile.”
The People vs. Jackson trial began in Santa Maria, California; two years after the charges were originally filed. The trial lasted five months, and Michael was acquitted on all counts.
In 2006 reports began to circulate that Michael was having financial difficulties. The main house of Neverland Ranch was closed as a cost-cutting measure.
Michael was scheduled to perform 50 sold-out concerts at London’s O2 arena from July 13, 2009 to March 6, 2010.
The Los Angeles Fire Department paramedics responded to a 911 call at 12:21 pm (PST). At the time of their arrival Jackson was not breathing. CPR was performed with no response.

I am in disbelief and it will take time for everyone to get over this, I hope that he is remembered for his music and contributions and not for the scandals that surrounded him in later years, HE WAS PROVEN INNOCENT so lay off on the molestation charges and remember MJ in a positive way for he has touched all of our lives in one way or another
RIP
een deel van mij stierf tegelijk met jou!!
The King of Pop, is still the MAN! He have a song for everyone in the world and no matter what people have said that was evil I looked at him as an Angel, because he brought peace with the music he makes! I WILL ALWAYS LOVE M.J.
Bing Bong the King of Pop is Dead
RIP MIKE
R.I.P WE WILL MISS YOU ALOT I WISH YOU WERE STILL HERE MICHAEL A.K.A KING OF POP
ND MY FAVS WERE THILLER,DANGEROUS,AND BILLY JEAN
We will be sad about this for a lllllooonnnnnnngggg time. We really LOVED his music.
OMGA I Cried when I heard RIP Michael we will miss you forever :’(
well Michael I remember you from back in the day! your first album I bought was thriller it came out when I was in high school your dance skills were amazing, my only regret was I never saw you in concert. You will be missed more than you know!
Rest in peace Michael, you was the ONLY and the GREATEST dancer in the POP history… Moonwalk FOREVER !!!
I grew up watching Michael Jackson.This so unreal to me.This feel’s like a dream to me. I saw Michael in concert in Mobile when I was 13yrs. I just keep praying that when I wake up this would all be a bad dream. Micheal is loved all over the world. He is deeply missed . And his family is in prays We Love You Micheal
Michael I Love You Rest In Peace!
I will miss the chance the Michael had to redeem himself to the public. His up coming tour would most certainly have been fanominal. I now his talent will be missed and I for one never believed any of the Gossip, I always believed that Michael was Human just like the rest of us but with Exceptional Talent that will not be met again.
May God hold his arms around your gentle soul now Michael
Michael when I found out my hero was dead it was horrible may God bless you and rest in peace
i am truly shocked by MJ’s death. He is such a true humanitarianism and also very talented man. He will always be remembered. R.I.P Michael Jackson
may you rest in peace michael.
rip michael
gone but we will always have you in our hearts
we loved you now and forever.
I still can’t believe he is gone that little kid performing with his brothers on American Bandstand is gone!!! He is now bringing joy to Jesus and God and many other stars up in heaven!!! God Bless his family..R.I.P. The True King of Pop!!!
I had the pleasure of working for him at 3 of his concert venues in Vancouver, British Columbia Canada in the mid-80s and I will always sherish those memories. The place was jammed packed, the crowd was wild and the concerts were undoubtly the best I have ever attended. Thank-you Michael for the happiest memories.
no matter how people viewed him a few years back i know deep down it saddens us all of this tragic incident and i hope to god we only embrace the good kept in fond memory’s of mj he will forever and always have a place in our hearts
We don’t care how the media dwell on Michael’s problems, there will never be a genius like him. I grew up with the Jasksons and Michael is above the King of Pop
I really wish he faked his death…
http://www.hwong.com/2009/06/michael-jacksons-death-a-fake-his-death-is-staged-conspiracy-theory/
Thanks for shaping the world of music. Thanks for lots of precious moments, memories that re-live when I hear your songs.
To many people worship this freak. I won’t miss him. Money can get you off of anyting.
R.I.P - there is no question MJ was the most influential celebrity of all time, breaking down the barriers between races, focusing the world on humanitarian crisis. We should remember him for the good he did as he revolutionized music and dance rather than for other aspects of his life. http://www.jonathanrosecompany.com
Michael Jackson will be truely missed….its sad that he had to leave just before his 51st birthday
My family will always love him…. R.I.P M.Jackson
Todo el dolor por un genio que no pudo sobrevivir a esta maldita sociedad.
Michael will be remembered for all of his accomplishments and not his transgressions. So Live on King of Pop, I just wish that was able to goo to his funeral along side of all his other fans…
Thank you Michael for all the joy you have give me trough your music and performances. If only you had been allowed to enjoy your time on this earth a bit more. You will always be on my mind.
MAY URE GOD GO WITH UE MY FRIEND
I STILL CANT BELIVE HE IS GONE… MY PRAYERS ARE WITH THE JACKSON FAMILY..
Michael Jackson was also a fixture in not only my life but many others in this world. His music brings back memories of my childhood with my brothers. He was a talent and a genius in his field that no one will be able to duplicate It’s hard for me to believe that the bad things that happened later in life happened, but I choose to remember MJ for the good things he brought to music and the memories I have from it. God bless his family and friends that they may have some privacy and peace during this trying time.
Also, for those quick to make jokes and remember the negative, remember, his family and kids may read these comments later in life. Have some freakin’ respect!
Rest in peace and love, Michael Jackson.
Thanks for the music.
love you MJ!!! you will always be in our hearts!!!
Were sadden by the lost of a great voice you will be missed
Dear Fans, we all think about our great Idol and we remember him in good status.
I think he was a great person, as a great artist and still I think deep inside he was fighting all his life against his very sad story and his lost youth and he tried to compense all that with meeting people, who don’t care, if he is famous or not. Trying to recreate some of the nice times, playing with friends, what he never could.
Now, that he died, it comes realy clear, that the Story of Michael Jackson is realy sad, looking at the personal site. The great musician shared so much time with all of us all over the world, but at last he was alone. Maybe he asked his private doctor, to inject him an overdose of some anestetic, that he liked to end up his life for now. Maybe it was so frustrating, that all he dept could never be paid, even if he plays again.
So please let us understand, that he was no gay, no pedophil, no ill monster, I think he just suffered still on the treatment by his father.
The only luck is, that now for him suffering becomes an end and we thank him for all the joy he gave us through his music.
Stay well.

I have never believed any of the junk in the news. I always felt your genlt soul, and your God-given talent was always amazing. Thank you for all of the wonderful gifts you shared with the world. May you now rest in total peace.

I know you had more in you.My heart hurts for your family and their great loss. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.
michael jackson,was to greatest entertainer alive,he will always be remembered and never forgotten,r.i.p. michael your music will live on for generations to come.
i feel it is a outrage,that people all over this sickened world are cashing in on his death,let him live in peace please let his family mourn ,and stop thinking about ,what you can get from a autograph or a record,this man was a human being who was gifted like no entertainer in the world, please let him rest in peace.
I AM DEEPLY SADDEN OF THE DEATH OF MICHEAL, I TRULY LOVE HIM AND I WILL MISS HIM. GOD BLESS HIS
FAMILY.
RIP michel we will miss your amazing dance moves u will be missed king of pop
I wish to extend my condolences to the ENTIRE Jackson family for their loss. I grew up listening to Michael which gave me inspiration in my trying time of life. I will sorely miss Michael as a person and his talents. Michael WILL be sorely missed.
You were the man who made his own sound, thats what made you the King of Pop.
it was cool havin ya around this planet…luv ya man!
We will miss you Michael! Now you are singing with the angels!
It was truly heartbreaking and sad to hear that Michael had passed away. I grew up listening to The Jackson Five and continued to listen, and enjoy all of Michael’s music. My heart goes out to the Jackson Family. Michael is gone from our presence, but his soul will live on forever. Michael rest in peace. Thank you for giving the world the opportunity to enjoy your talent. No one can ever replace you.
its s was till hard to believe that the king of pop is no longer with us,his music was a masterpiece and his dancin was an art in its own right,no one can fill they moon walk boots ,r.i.p. michael x x x
It’s hard to even imagine what growing up in the 70s and 80s in Trinidad would be like with out Michael and his music. He had such a strong influence on our up-bringing because of his music. On behalf of my friends and myself, thank god for Michael. I’m very glad for one thing, his pain and suffering is over. Other people and forces have caused him so much pain, it’s a miracle how he coped with it. I just hope the media and people would remember him for the loving person he was and not pay any attention to the other people who tried to put him down.
Couldn’t believe the news!! still to this day i feel as if its dream that the world hasn’t been woken up yet.. you will be missed dearly.. only if someone responded sooner.!!! RIP MJ LOVE
Wow! My mouth is still agape from the shock! I used to claim this man as my husbnd when I ws 10 years old. and now He has left us too soon. My condolences to mj’s family I don’t know you guys personlly, but My heart goes out. Michael, I will alwaus love you, and I wish you a peaceful journey. Rest in peace.
I was in total shock when the news of his passing came out. I instanly remembered the 1st song I ever slow danced to when I was 12, it was Got To Be There, I love you Michael and I will always hold a place in my heart for you and my memories. My condolences to your family.
God Bless / Kandy

The kid admitted to lieing about you in the news Michael, I wonder if those who condemned you are sorry now? It’s too late for you here now on earth but may you enjoy all of eternity in Heaven and finally be happy and at peace!
God bless and keep you Michael. You worked from age 5 to 50 and I hope your soul and body may finally be at rest and find peace.
Such talent, well at least now he’s at peace and rest where the only one to judge him now is God himself. Thank you Micheal for the music - forever young in our hearts and mind….xxxx
I’m In Shock For This Tragedy Michael Thanks For Your Amazing Legacy
RIP
Will miss Michael, he was like family. Truly a caring individual.
i went gay for him =D
I´m shocked, until today I dont believe he is dead, God bless his Family and Him.
I am sorry to hear, about Michael’s passing… My heart goes out to his family and his children… I know what it is like to have a family member on Oxycontin, I don’t understand why doctors don’t get to the source of the pain and fix it rather than using medication to cure everything… My thoughts and prayers are with you all… I will always cherish the music that I have grown up with and the music he has released since… Michael’s music has touched my heart and still does to this day.. You are not alone… Will you be there… and We are the World… are songs that get me through each day as I deal with my own husband being on these meds and more… Thank you for your music Rest In Peace… Lisa
My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family… I wish your children and family a Happy 4th of July… Rest In Peace Michael…
I was just reading some of the comments, If you don’t have something nice to say please don’t say anything at all… who are you to judge anyone… Leave the Man alone… he is gone and is still being attacked and that’s wrong keep your comments to yourself… How would you feel if you were constantly in the public eye and had no privacy, You would probably do the same thing and try to avoid people.. and unless you have proof of child molestation then keep quiet and Let him rest in peace…
Michael Jackson a gifted artist passed away, Now we have to listen to all the stuff people have to say. First of all let me make my self clear,He was the number ONE ARTIST throughout all the years !!! Michael could sing and dance. He was a GIFT from GOD, Not by chance! Michael had a Kind , Loving Giving Heart right from very start. He gave to many not just to a few, It was God leading him on what to do! Michael left this earth for a higher mission,He has his wings,Gods mighty decision.Michael will be missed,but always remembered.Try not to mourn, he’s in Heaven! May God Bless the Jackson Family

WE LOVE BIG MIKE

I Love you Michael an forever will! I would like to say to his mother I’m sorry for your loss!! And I want to thank you for sharing your gift with the world! And please dont let him go back to Never Land !! You know an I know he will never rest there his soul deserves to rest he has given his heart,soul,an his love blood sweat an tears to all the least we can do is let him rest!!! I do believe in my heart the doc to him from us I love you Mrs. Jackson
Is Michael really dead? we haven’t seen no body
I enjoyed his gifts since I was a little girl. I remember watching the Jackson 5 cartoon, dancing in my bedroom to ABC. He gave me a outlet a freedom that no matter how bad the world outside seemed I could listen to his words and know things would be alright. As I grow into a woman his words once more were there. I can remember everything, and I can remember the man. It is sad that his life was filled with such pain and loneliness. But when his children were born he gave to them what he never had. And in that he was living his childhood in theirs. He protected them from the world outside because he knew the pain it brings. Even sadder still is now they will face it alone without him. All those that sit and call him names never knew him nore cared. God Bless you Michael and thank you for all the gifts you gave to us, you are missed deeply around the world. Bless your children that they will find peace in the world they live in and that all the mess will not make their lives more pain then happiness. Bless your family that they will come together and decide things as a family not one barking out what it will be. Give them a helping hand to heal and find peace in the pain of their loss.
Mickey…can you have set yourself up worse than you did? Believe me when I say that I run through the same shit. You were a founder and artist that lead the ways…and you always will…we will miss you!!
One of the biggest losses in entertainment history.
touching ryan white again
Sorry your dead, justice comes in many forms at least the children are safe from you.
Rest in peace and remember, SMILE. The world is a better place due to the life of the KING of POP. He will be missed .
awww michael u will truely b missed
Please sign here for Michael Jackson:
http://www.blussa.com/sign-petition.htm?petitionId=62
its is very important. Michael Jackson should not die
please send this letter to your friends. Michael deserves that.
Michael Jackson was a good humanitarian.He loved to entertain people.Michael touched many peoples hearts. He will on forever and ever.Although I havent met Michael I listened to his music all of my life.Michael will be missed and nobody will do Michael like Mchael. RIP MJ
you are free now…..fly away thank you Michael i love you
I don’t care what was said, for your music and talent will always live on and overshadow that. R.I.P., M.J.
Michael, I ‘m still in mourning over your sudden passing, my heart just aches I know you do not feel our pain here on this earth because you are so happy now. You inspired so many of us and I truly believe you loved your fans. Of course there are those who did not understand you and/or just pure evil, but that is ok, the evil ones are entitled to their opinions. Like so many others and the majority we feel you would NEVER hurt a fly. My hope was that you had an opportunity to see your children become young adults. I know they brought beauty and happiness to your life and I truly believe you were an awesome daddy and god, they love you. When Paris was younger and you guys were in Las Vegas she did not want to let your hand go so that you could sign autographs, maybe she was scared because of all the people, but she felt safe with you. You are so awesome and we love you. No one can ever take that away. Not ever.
Michael i will allways love you…stay with the angels.You’re the one._Love U.
I will miss you michael jackson but your music will live on forever
god bless you micheal jackson I will miss you but your music will live on forever and I like your song billy jean that my lover just the girl she said i am the one the chace is not my song HE HE whoo your breaking my heart baby I love that song and micheal you will truely be missed

I love you michael
thank god the kids are safe to walk the streets
As the song says, you don’t know what you’ve got ’til it’s gone. Michael was a complex individual and probably had some demons but his music and the joy he brought to people will live forever. Farewell King of Pop, and “I Just Can’t Stop Loving You.”
RIP KING OF POP … U WILL BE MISSED BUT NEVER FORGOTTEN
I’ve loved MJ since i was 6 years old and now I am 22. I always thought and still think of him as a true legend not because people called him that but because he deserved to be called that. He is the sweetest, most lovable and most caring person to have ever lived on this earth. Even though i haven’t actually met him, it feels like i know him just by watching the jackson’s variety show, his live performances, the Wiz with Diana Ross, his music videos and his interviews etc. I would also like to state that all these allegations testified against him were nothing but false, disgusting allegations and the people who actually thought that he could have even touched a child need to seriously get a life. Mike was deprived of his childhood and spent it all on stage performing for other people and those days people appreciated him and went mad over him but those past years they have been talking about him badly and abusing him just because of some rumors that were spread against him. Now that he is gone, people are remembering him. why couldn’t you people have been nice to him when he was alive? why wait for him to go so you can appreciate? its true what they say, ” you never know what you have until its gone”. well, it shouldn’t be like that. learn to appreciate, love and forgive, cherish…Micheal, to me you are a genius and a gift from God..” an instrument of nature” that was bestowed down on us to enjoy and love music from. i will miss you and your music, your lovely smile and cute personality. I love you…may you rest in peace and may God be easy on your family esp. your children. YOUR MUSIC WILL LIVE ON FOREVER MJ xxx (RIP)
your biggest fan,
Noor Itani
I am a big fan of Michael Jackson. I think its a really big tradegy. I still can’t believe he is gone. Really gone to soon!!! My opinion is that all these people putting him down and everything, I think they are either jealous, have been abused, or abusing little kids themselves. Michael has done more charity work for kids and others in need more than any other celebrity thats walked in this world. I really don’t see wqhy people will not let Michael Jackson Rest In Peace. He is gone and they are still critizing him. Leave the KING alone, for once in his life. God Love You Michael Jackson for all the good you have done in the world. All of your fans know what good you have done and we really appreciate everything you have done for us. You will be remembered forever, and always. REST IN PEACE.

You were memories from my childhood and i will always enjoy your music since it helped me in hard times get through everything. To your family i wish them well R.I.P. Michael and may you be with the angels.
hediedonmyirthdaysoiwill
This is too the idiots that think Michael did something with a child as a mom of 6 I would of never settled out of court because I would want the person to hang who took my childs innocense. So if you must talk about someone why not a real child molester who was found guilty and liked little boys. Remember dumb asses he was raising his kids and now that he is gone why aren’t the kids telling the truth?? Oh yeah because the truth was told MICHAEL was innocent. Morons write dumb things while real people write the truth about a legend. R.I.P Michael the world loved you and your music
I grew up with Michael’s music.I love his songs.My family will miss him to.Thanks for so much you have done.May you rest in peace,with my brother,his name is Michael to.It will never another Michael Jackson.
I didn’t grow up here so I feel bad that i missed on all the years of knowing the real Michael Jackson and being there through the release of most of his records. But when I got to know who Michael Jackson really is from the interviews, words spoke by Michael himself I believed him right away. He is someone really special and someone who has been hurt deeply. You just feel it when you look into his eyes, but, he has his happy moment which I think is something he is very proud of. Just listening to his music feels like an honor. I feel like I should have from 1958 but i had to be born in 1990 boohoo. He was a legend and will always be a legend to me and everybody else. I feel like we cheated him because he always gave us, he shared with us but we never gave back. Instead most of us hurt him deeply. The only thing we can do right now is pray for him. MAY GOD BLESS HISS SOUL. I LOVE YOU MICHAEL
micheal we will be sending you these messages for hundred years to come, that way we know that your legacy will live on forever. RIP king,
I will choose to remember him as an innocent boy singing his heart out with his brothers.
To his family: PLEASE don’t exploit his memory for profit! How many of his friends and family have given PAID interviews since his death. That fact is just a portent to what they will do with his fame. It’s sad. HE evolved into a very distraught, disturbed, an tragic individual. Don’t glorify him. Let his influence stand for itself, please.
RIP michael. i love you. you inspired so many people to go out and do such great things. your music will continue to do so
everyone misses you.
“I just wanted to say that michel jackson was the greates of all time.”I love him and will miss him very much.
I just wanted to say that Micheal Jackson was a entertainer to all ages and he will be greatly missed
killed by white people. somebody call al. jesse. or barock
Michael is, undoubtedly, the greatest entertainer the world has ever known, as well as being a humanitarian and a gentle, caring soul. MJ, you will be missed !!!!!!
I love lamp
obama is without doubt. the greatest entertainer of all time. fooled a whole country.
Fond memory to behold of how i growing wanted to be like him.
Fond memory to behold of how i growing up wanted to be like him.

thankyou for being there for me, friends forever
Michael you gave us music, life, dance, and most of all your legacy that will never be forgotten. May you rest in peace and now be left alone where no one can hurt you anymore with words. I feel that people must have been jealous of you to say the things they did. You did more for all than any one man could do in this life so far. No matter what you will live on forever my friend. God bless you.
Michael will live on forever in the hearts of every person he he touched with his music, his kindness and his devotion to this world and everyone and everything in it. We love you.
I grew up with Michael. I played his songs all the time …I dreamt of him one time and it seemed so real. We are friends in spirit. Michael I will always love you….

I worshiped you as a child and you have been my favorite musician in the whole world I just am so broken that you were killed i hope that docter burns in fucking hell
Michael,
I dont know where to begin. I grew up on your music. Through listening to your music you got me through so many hard times in my life. I was deeply saden when i heard the new about your death. I felt as if i lost a close friend and yet i had never met or, or even ever been able to see you in concert. Despite all of the accusations that people make about you and name calling you went through, you are still an idol to many people around the globe. It was you caring heart that you lent out your hand to so many children in need. Michael please RIP. Your an Angel. God Bless you. Also the Jackson family you are in my prayers. God Bless
i loved michael jackson…. he will be deeply missed by all!!!!!!!
i grew up listening to MJ.. Fllowing his life legend, despite all that was said about him, he is a king a idol a superhuman. he influenced my life in every way, and hearing of this is saddening and my eyes are filled with tears .. thank you Micheal for giving millions hope and opening doors through of race and equality through youre voice.. i started with the man in the mirror and i changed and as we grow older it doesnt matter if you are black or white we will heal the world. Cant stop loving you… Rest In Peace .. God Bless.. You left youre life story behind and we will always remember youre legacy..
love you
Gerson

It’s been almost three months now, and I’m just counting the days for your “big Screen Movie” Oct 28th….
I put on your music everyday, I think of you when I get up in the morning and when I go to sleep at night…I still cant believe you are gone…we will never ever see anyone unique and special like you…I LOVE YOU AND MISS YOU SO MUCH MICHAEL!!
And when the groove is dead and gone….you know that LOVE survives….so we can rock FOREVER!!!!
Missing you Michael…Love you always..xo
Michael, I am so sorry that we as humans did not see the good in you and what you stood for in this world. I appologize for the behavior of the human race for the treatment that was extanded to you when you needed us most, we let you down. We were the cause of your pain and suffering that lead to your death and for that I do appologize. You were a gift from GOD and a blessing to us all. You will really be missed. Your music and dance live on reminding us to live life to the fullest and be joyful and loving appreciating our loved ones. You certainly made your mark on the world and in doing so showed us that we need to live life as each day is the most precious. May your soul rest in piece. May GOD forgive us.
I LOVE YOU MICHAEL I WISH I MET YA
I AM TOO SORRY FOR WHAT WE DID THRILLER
I miss you Mj justice for you will happen you are the true king of music rest in peace Michael long live the king
No words can express how I felt when I found out MJ died. I cannot find even more words when I found out he was murdered. So many hateful and money hungry people out in the world. I send my regards to his family. We have truly lost a great icon. Be blessed.
michael even know you cant read this but i want you to know that i always liked you as a friend and a artist and even though i havent known you that much but i still believe you were the best
R.I.P. Michael Jackson.<333 you will be missed. everyone says stuff about you, and we tell them to shut their potholes! (: we love you! (sniff,sniff)

Michael Jackson is just so inspirational and loving.He did not deserve to die this way at all.I wanted to go see his concerts but I can’t.I ‘t just so so sad because we’ve lost a LEGEND.
I still can’t believe he is gone. R.I.P. Michael, you will be missed dearly. Great Pop King.
Still missed and loved.
I’m so sorry Michael Jackson, I wish I could have met you, I’m sure I could of made things better as I do with most people. I love you, and I understand you. I know you had to do what you did to make yourself happy. You were not strange at all,you just wanted to be happy. We have far more crazy people in this world than you. We have child molestors, in which you were not. We have people who rape their own kids, we have kidnappers who rape kids, murderers, thives, etc. Thats crazy, your not, your loving, sweet, kind hearted, and most of all very normal.How dare we call you strange. If you were strange, theres far more stranger people out there than you were. I love you very much. R.I.P. Michael Jackson.
