No matter the bad things he has done, there is no denying he is one of the most successful and talented artists in the industry ever.

They're probably right, but all FOX did was report TMZ reported it.

I know - this is so crazy. His comeback tour was supposed to have started tomorrow - I'm still waiting for some more online sources to report it, but I've seen it on a few channels already.

Oh my god. Farah, though still very sad, was kind of expected, but MJ!? This is so out of nowhere


RIP

Still waiting for CNN to report it, but at this point I'm kinda assuming it's probably true

I don't need a life that's normal. That's way too far away. But something next to normal would be okay. Something next to normal is what I'd like to try. Close enough to normal to get by.

Yeah- technically the AP hasn't confirmed yet, but TMZ is still reliable enough to believe it.

Why is this on the Broadway board??

"The Spectacle has, indeed, an emotional attraction of its own, but, of all the parts, it is the least artistic, and connected least with the art of poetry. For the power of Tragedy, we may be sure, is felt even apart from representation and actors. Besides, the production of spectacular effects depends more on the art of the stage machinist than on that of the poet."

Seriously, why do you care? Farrah never technically made it to Broadway either. At least Jackson was in the movie The Wiz. What's the diff?

To make it Broadway related. Does this mean Thriller will be in NYC sooner than expected? I bet so.

TMZ is reliable because they're probably hiding in the closet of Michael's hospital room. They're always on top of this stuff because they don't know the definition of the word "boundaries"

Is it bad of me that almost the first thing I thought was "now those kids of his will have a chance at a normal life"?
