Michael Jackson dead at 50.

I just learned from ABC News that Michael Jackson has died. Paramedics rushed to Michael Jackson's home after receiving a call from Jackson's staff members, stating that they had found Michael Jackson unresponsive and he was not breathing. Paramedics performed CPR as they rushed him to the hospital, but they were not successful in reviving Jackson, he died of a cardiac arrest.

Michael was planning a comeback tour, starting in July and continuing through March of next year. There were 50 sold out concerts scheduled.
