I was out for dinner last night with my father, and I received a text message from my boyfriend saying Michael Jackson died of a heart attack. I didn't believe him at first, I had to confirm this with someone who was at a computer, so my father called his friend to confirm. To my shock, my boyfriend was right, Michael Jackson did indeed die, of a heart attack... at age 50 nonetheless.
I'm quite surprised, No one knew he had any health issues. This was a very unexpected headline to hear about, especially when another celebrity (Farah Fawcett) died earlier that day.
An autopsy was planned for today, however the results are not likely to be final until toxicology tests could be completed. I'm sure this story will be in the news headlines for weeks if not months, as Jackson ranked alongside Elvis Presley and the Beatles as the biggest pop sensations of all time. Most people are considering Jackson as "the king of pop.”
I'm sure most of the world is as shocked as I am to hear of this sad news. Jackson was just preparing for what would be a series of 50 concerts starting July 13 at London’s famed 02 arena.
There will be a lot of devastated Londoners, you can count on that.
It's too bad his life was cut short, he was just on his way to potentially redeeming his career a little bit, people might have started to think of him again in a different light.
