He mentioned Farrah Fawcett, David Carrideine and Billy Joel and that was like but 3 hrs ago and I get home to find a message of my friend Kstie MJ is dead

billy joel aint dead..........is he?

I dunno BB King mentioned it on stage, but I could see how he got Billy Joel confused with Billie Jean or something.

i just checked up on it, and hes not dead, him and his 3rd wife have just split. how was bb king?

Sad news. Seems a bit surreal still.

Pretty cool. I've saw him 3 times, twice in Brum and once in NYC. He is getting on a bit so talks to the crowd a lot more but is a class act still. He can do things on his guitar, with one string that I can only wish to do with six!

John Mayall was support and bad ass!

What? He did?

Years of abuse, constantly hounded by the media, claims of sexual abuse towards children, later money problems, dealing with having children through a surrogate mother, TURNING HIMSELF WHITE, obvious mental and health issues, spending his entire life in the eyes of the world...

These do not sound like things that a normal person would consider an awesome life, the guy was FUCKED UP. A sad, lonely and disturbed person.

Whatever crazy shit has happened to him through the 90's he still led the life of dreams through the late 80's. He may have been crazy or whatever but he still had an awesome life until he decided to take it too far. Being pop's number 1 king, being best selling artists and albums etc

And then having the cash to build dream home and world. Having the cash to outright buy things like the Beatles back catalouge and basically having the cultural presence to do whatever the fuck he wanted, he led an awesome life and of course he was fucked up but we will never know how much was a front and how much was real. For example it is always said that when in private he doesnt talk in that stupid high voice, only when cameras on him!


Also strange coincidence but - Jackson is dead.....Thunder, lightning and torrential downpour begins.....CAUSE ITS THE THRILLER....THRILLER NIGHTS

I hope they show that channel 4 documentary again, only saw bits of it when it was first on..

No!!!
His personal life is fucked up but I love his music so much!!!!
RIP MJ
T_T

Its all on youtube.

I put the news on before i went to bed and well... i was shocked in a way. I knew he wouldnt do those London gigs though.

750,000 tickets to refund, what a mission! Everyone seems to know someone who was going or planned to go themselves - I know people who bought 7 or 8 tickets for various friends, it's going to be a nightmare.

I never really thought the 50 dates would go ahead; and if they did they may well have been the death of him anyway!

I was supposed to be getting free tickets for one of the Arena gigs but i've not heard anything yet. I really bloody hope i do hear something as well, It's BB King.

Turns out MJ isnt dead from a heart attack.......he's been found in the childrens ward having a stroke!

Eating some cold pizza and cookies whie listening to King of Pop.

R.I.P MJ

This is outrageous. I won't believe it. He's just gone to live with Bruce Lee, Freddie Mercury, Jimi Hendrix and John Bonham on their secret island. He'll come back to save us all when the time is right.
