It still has not hit me. It feels so strange. Michael Jackson is dead. He was only 50 years old, a milestone age. He just celebrated the 25th anniversary of "Thriller," the best-selling album of all time, and re-released it in February.
He was scheduled to start his show run in London in a few weeks.
Maybe Michael's career had reached its peak, but I was not convinced that he was done with music. When he turned 50 last August, I did a series of interviews with radio stations. All of the DJs asked me if I thought Michael Jackson could make a comeback. They wanted to know if he could get past the controversies that dominated his news coverage over the last 10-plus years. My answer was a matter-of-fact "yes."
People often underestimate the power of music, and the effect that it has on us. We sometimes forget how a great song with a feel-good message lifts us up, and makes us smile and remember the place we had the most fun dancing to it and with whom.
Michael Jackson is one of the few artists in the history of the art form to be able to take one song, like "Billie Jean," and reach people of all age groups, races, and nationalities.

Michael Jackson est mort jeudi à l'âge de 50 ans dans un hôpital de Los Angeles où il avait été transporté en urgence pour un arrêt cardiaque, nouvelle qui a provoqué une onde de choc à l'échelle de la célébrité planétaire du "roi de la pop".
"M. Jackson a été transporté à l'hôpital (...) il était inconscient lorsqu'il a été admis et son décès a été constaté à 14H26 (21H26 GMT) cet après-midi", a déclaré à CNN un porte-parole de l'institut médico-légal du comté de Los Angeles, le lieutenant Fred Corral.
Selon le Los Angeles Times et le site internet spécialisé dans les célébrités TMZ.com, qui a le premier donné la nouvelle, Jackson a été victime d'un arrêt cardiaque à son domicile de Holmby Hills, un quartier opulent du nord-ouest de Los Angeles où il louait un manoir depuis janvier. Il a été transporté en ambulance à l'hôpital Ronald-Reagan de l'UCLA (Université de Californie à Los Angeles), à quelques kilomètres de là.
