R.I.P. Michael Jackson (1958-2009)



Earlier today, Michael Jackson was rushed to an LA hospital after going into cardiac arrest. According to TMZ, Jackson was apparently dead when paramedics arrived, but he was taken to the hospital where efforts to revive him proved to be unsuccessful. A little over an hour ago, it was officially announced that the King of Pop had died from a heart attack. He was 50.

Jackson was scheduled to perform a 50-date residency at the 02 Arena in London beginning next month that would have carried over into early 2010. The shows would have been his first major public performances since 1997.
