Micheal Jackson Dead?

Michael Jackson is dead apparently, or just died? Is this true? The biggest name in pop music dead? Michael Jackson is undoubtedly one of the biggest icons from my generation, this is my JFK!! I suppose we all have to go sometime and if I could die like Michael Jackson from producing a back catalogue such as his then maybe I could rest easy. If the Micheal Jackson death stories are to be believed then I have to say Rest In Peace to yet another black musician who gave so much to the world. And while I'm at it, RIP Minnie Riperton, Barry White, Marvin Gaye..
