Wow its true. The internet is going to explode. The triple celebrity thing is true. Ed Mcmahon, Fara Faucet and MJ.

Just like Ryan said, atleast we're now spared of all those terrible Michael Jackson jokes. 

It hasn't been confirmed but the press sure are acting like he's dead. I reckon it's probably true.

Apparently Farrah Fawcett is dead too. 

Oh wow, twitter actually crashed. Next up, Facebook and MySpace.

yes it has been confirmed "

" Wow its true. The internet is going to explode. The triple celebrity thing is true. Ed Mcmahon, Fara Faucet and MJ. "

" This got 100 posts in less than a half hour. That's damn fast. "

RIP

Wow, didn't see this coming at all. Great musician and sad how his life ended up. Hopefully reports just got ahead of themselves.

He is dead. He was in a coma earlier, but died.
There is a whole story on it on CBS news.

Makes me sick that this guy is getting more attention then Fara Faucet, a truly decent human being. "

RIP

No, he's dead. All the stations are saying he IS dead, not in a coma now.

Footage? What footage do you want?

Anyway, here is LA Times confirming the announcement of death (which I heard Wolf Blitzer refer to on CNN.) "

3:35 PM, california.
I dont know if hes already dead, But their saying that on CNN.
Either way, who can belive anything that TMZ says.
If the news were up 2 them, theyd report that obama is crying right now, and planing to name this day michale jackson day.

I guess I'm the only one who doesn't care  if he is dead or not mainly because he never played a part in my childhood as a musician and because he raped little kids.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!! He

CNN in Spanish confirmed it

I dare someone to find something positive to say about him besides his music career, or something sympathetic to say other than about his childhood.

R.I.P. Michael Jackson.  You truly were the King.  There has never been or will ever be anyone like you.

And its official now.  He has passed.

Confirmed. he has been added to the recent death list on wikipeadia

It is confirmed that he is dead.

Sources include TMZ, L.A. Times, Fox News, NBC, CBS, ABC, etc.

All the people in his pedo case were money hungry leeches.  The guy was weird as hell the last few years nobody can deny that but he was innocent.

RIP Mike, thanks for the good tunes.

Once again, there's no proof that any of those allegations are true. And if you want to talk about that shit, do it somewhere else. "

" Confirmed. he has been added to the recent death list on wikipedia "

His death is confirmed.

Sources include but are not limited to BBC, AP, TMZ, L.A. Times, Fox News, ABC, CBS, NBC.

Who are you again? I am entitled to my opinion. If you don't like it, ignore it. Genius idea, isn't it? "

Seriously though, greatest of all time.  I really hope humanity can find out as a whole why he got so messed up.  Reveal a pedophile or something.

I don't know that this is necessary on Giant Bomb because the community here has always been fantastic but:

ignore the trolls. Please.

Thank you.

CNN reported him dead.

RIP MJ, You were one of the greatest.

I'm watching the coverage of CNN right now but I'm blasting some "Man In The Mirror" right now.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO   R.I.P.  Everyone should play Moonwalker in his name.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Also Farah Fawcett Died today.


God what a deperessing day.

Alot of places are now confirming death as opposed to still being in a coma, really sad as I used to be a fan.

BBC has just confirmed.

No one will ever have the same impact on pop music that he did. RIP MJ

Not to make fun but they can make a wak statue over at Madame Tusseaud with his really face. Creepy.

Rest in peace Michael. Childhood Idol and one of the few acts I really really hoped to see in person one day.

Killed by the media over a 15 year long period.

See you in the next life :'(

May he rest in piece. He may have became rather weird, but he should rest in peace.

I don't know about the rest of you, but I'd KILL anyone who touched my child in a inappropriate way and spit on any money offered to me, the idea that Micheal was busy raping kids left and right and noone minded and none of the kids ever spoke out about it at some point is ridiculous.

BBC have just confirmed it. The BBC doesn't confirm anything unless it's 100% definite. It's confirmed.

I don't know what to think of his death. On one hand I hope the paedophile is dead. On the other, he's done some fantastic music, and it would be a sad loss to the music industry. It's a weird mix of emotions.

In other news, twitter seems to be struggling under the stress of this discussion.

How is that an opinion? You're saying that one person's death is more important than another. The guy is dead. Show some respect and grow up. "

I've never actually felt sad when some celebrity dies, this time I do.  That's kinda weird. It's confirmed and all over the news though.  It's a sad day.  Even if you didn't like him you have to appreciate what he did in his musical past.  RIP.

[Updated at 3:15 p.m.: Pop star Michael Jackson was pronounced dead by doctors this afternoon after arriving at a hospital in a deep coma, city and law enforcement sources told The Times.]
