晚上一直都是很晚才睡，今天准备早一点睡。刚进卧室，British Mum knocked my
door and said " Michael Jackson is dead!"
挺意外！两个多月前他来伦敦为自己的summer
tour做宣传。见识了伦敦疯狂的歌迷。从他到达前几天开始，伦敦媒体就开始大肆报道。记得那几天，坐地铁时拿的免费的METRO的报纸，上面全是JACKO的报道。如今，距离开唱的7月13日只有两三周，但是他却已经离去了。那时候，我就在考虑是不是去现场观看。但是那是场疯狂的抢票运动。据说在2，3小时内就已sold
out.在我知道那刻时，已经只剩下了昂贵的套票。现在，永远都不可能再去看他的演唱会了。很多人都在讨论JACKO在伦敦O2
ARENA的演出退票问题。（当时就没有保险公司愿意为这长达50场的演唱会提供保险！看来搞保险精算的人，还是深谙概率之道！只是，我觉得，他的离去，确实太早了！）
Jackson was rushed to UCLA Medical Center by ambulance this afternoon after suffering from cardiac arrest, fire officials confirm. Los Angeles Fire Department Captain Steve Ruda said paramedics responded to a 911 call at Jackson's home around 12:26 p.m.
The 50-year old was not breathing when they arrived. The paramedics performed CPR and took him to UCLA Medical Center, Ruda says.
Jackson is renting a home in the Holmby Hills in the 100 block of Carolwood Drive off Sunset Boulevard. It is only a few minutes from the UCLA Medical Center.
Jackson's mother, Katherine, arrived at UCLA around 2:30 p.m. Jackson's father, Joe, who is in Las Vegas, told reporters earlier that son was "not doing well."
His sister Latoya reportedly ran from the hospital emergency room in tears after seeing her brother.
The emergency entrance at the UCLA Medical Center has been roped off Thursday with police tape. News trucks surrounded the hospital, helicopters flew overhead, and traffic was being redirected.
No word on the location of Jackson's 3 children, Michael Joseph Jackson, Jr., Paris Michael Katherine Jackson and Prince "Blanket" Michael Jackson II.
Michael Jackson debuted on the professional music scene at the age of 11 as a member of The Jackson 5 and began a solo career in 1971 while still a member of the group. Referred to as the "King of Pop" in subsequent years, five of his solo studio albums have become some of the world's best-selling records: Off the Wall (1979), Thriller (1982), Bad (1987), Dangerous (1991) and HIStory (1995).
In the early 1980s, he became a dominant figure in popular music and the first African-American entertainer to amass a strong crossover following on MTV. The popularity of his music videos airing on MTV, such as "Beat It", "Billie Jean" and "Thriller"-credited for transforming the music video into an art form and a promotional tool-helped bring the relatively new channel to fame.
Videos such as "Black or White" and "Scream" made Jackson an enduring staple on MTV in the 1990s.
With stage performances and music videos, Jackson popularized a number of physically complicated dance techniques, such as the robot and the moonwalk.
His distinctive musical sound and vocal style influenced hip hop, pop and contemporary R&B artists.
Jackson has donated and raised millions of dollars for beneficial causes through his foundation, charity singles and support of 39 charities.
Other aspects of his personal life, including his changing appearance and behavior, generated significant controversy, damaging his public image.
27/06,看英国主流报纸，头版几乎全是他的报道。晚上看电视，ITV，
BBC都制作了悼念专籍。听着这些熟悉的歌曲，回味着他留下的音乐遗产。我想，这就够了。The kind of Pop, you
deserve it!! People blamed that you are
a pedophile. Maybe, or may not. But I see your
image as a charity activist! One thing that I don't like is your
white skin. To tell the truth, I prefer your tan brown
skin!
You are not alone! Peace in
heaven!
