Jackson's passing was confirmed on CNN by Lt. Fred Corral of the Los Angeles County Medical Examiner's office. An autopsy is scheduled for Friday.
Jackson was scheduled to start his comeback tour in July. It was supposed to run until February 2010. More than 750,000 tour tickets were sold.
Michael Jackson revolutionized the music industry, paving the way for some of the biggest pop acts in the world. Without a doubt, Jackson has left behind a legacy that will stand the test of time. He has influenced so many performers and will continue to do so for many years to come.
While some of Jackson's life was ringed in controversy, he was still loved and revered by many people from all walks of life. Instead of focusing on any negative reported aspects of his life, fans should focus on all the good he did in the world and what he brought to the music industry.
RIP Michael Jackson. You are forever in all of our hearts.
