Michael Jackson died

25.06.2009 - 22h49 Rita Siza, Washington

Michael Jackson, the "King of Pop," died at 50 years, a victim of cardiac arrest. By early afternoon of yesterday (PST) Emergency medical services were called to his residence to help the singer, apparently to stop breathing - a few hours later, as the university hospital from UCLA, where he was transported, there confirmation of death.

Apparently, the musician has suffered a collapse at home. Was rescued by a team of paramedics, which found no pulse and CPR did not manage it. According to authorities, came to the hospital in a state of deep coma and was pronounced dead. It is not what would be his state of health before the fatal episode. An autopsy has been scheduled and will occur even on Friday.

The music of Michael Jackson indelibly marked in the 80s and influenced a whole generation of musicians. His album "Thriller," released in 1982, is an icon of pop music and remains the best selling disc in the history of music. And the videos that accompanied their success transformed the industry, opening the door to the success of music television channels like MTV.

Michael's career began early, together with his brothers in the successful group "Jackson 5" logo the five years of age. Their song "I want you back" is among the best of pop melodies. For thirteen years, and while acting with the brothers, began a solo career.
After you rebel against Motown to 17 years, Michael developed a sound disc. It was the transition to adulthood and the independence - with Quincy Jones as producer, "Do not Stop 'Til You Get Enough" Jackson projected to top the tables.

With "Thriller" - the best selling disc of the table for U.S. 37 consecutive weeks - and with "Bad" he became the most famous musician in the world.

Michael Jackson was twice recognized at the "Rock'n Roll Hall of Fame and won 13 Grammys. His humanitarian work - was responsible for the "single" to help Africa "We Are the World" - was recognized by President Ronald Reagan.

As spectacular as his success was his piercing collapse: twelve years ago that Jackson remained out of the stage.

Their everyday life, mysterious and eccentric, was matter of speculation for decades - allegedly, Jackson slept in a chamber of oxygen, this Bubbles the Chimpanzee as his son and wanted to turn his face into a copy of the Diana Ross, that idolatry. The musician lived in seclusion in a ranch called Neverland, a property of ten square kilometers which seemed more an amusement park - and was recently at auction.

The sexuality of Jackson also has always been cause for speculation. The musician married twice: the first one with Lisa Marie Presley, the daughter of Elvis, the King of Rock n 'Roll ", and then with his nurse Deborah Rowe, mother of his two older children. The identity of the mother of his third child is not known.

The children, when the hidden objective of the paparazzi by thick dark veils of color are 12, 11 and six years and bizarre names: Prince Michael Joseph Jackson Jr, Paris Michael Katherine Jackson and Prince Michael Jackson II Blanket.

Michael Jackson publicly admitted to have undergone several plastic surgeries and has fought against addiction to pills and drugs. A controversial British documentary made by Granada Television in 2003, left several cases involved sexual abuse of boys in which Jackson received his ranch and slept in his bed.

One case came to court: in 2005, Michael Jackson was accused of abusing a boy of 13 years and tried for the crime of pedophilia in a media file, which ended acquitted. After that, the singer withdrew from the United States and was living for Bahrain. Spent time in Ireland and France and last May, returned to Los Angeles.

Jackson now looking to revive his career with a series of 50 concerts at the O2 Arena in London, where tickets sold out just hours after being put on sale. According to the American press, these ecpectáculos would be a kind of kick-off for a world tour in three years and a new album of originals. Moreover, Jackson had plans to transform his legendary "Thriller" music for a kind of casino, to be presented in La Vegas and Macau.

The news of his death was received with shock and dismay in the United States - and in particular by the african american community that by Jackson as an emblem of black culture in the United States. Minutes after the confirmation of the news, the Reverend Al Sharpton classifying Michael Jackson as an icon worldwide, and paid tribute to his musical genius and artistic talent, his generosity and humanitarianism. "The world will never listen to Michael Jackson," he said.

The legendary producer Quincy Jones released a statement mourning the loss of Michael Jackson. "Michael had everything: talent, grace, professionalism and dedication. Today I lost my brother, part of my soul died with him. "

The fans of the artist immediately began to meet in the vicinity of the UCLA medical center (where they were meeting their brothers) and the house in Holmby Hills that rent musician recently, forcing the police to intervene to ensure the car movement. In New York, Times Square became the center of tributes.

Many U.S. radio stations started to move exclusively to the music of Michael Jackson. The MTV recovered their "telediscos" a special issue. On YouTube, the video of Jackson have become the most sought.

I remember when i was a lad, all the kids at school doing the moonwalk after seeing that amazing live 'Billie Jean' act on TV.

Like Meco said: I kinda feel like I grew up with him.

Despite things going awry towards the end of his life, it's very sad.
