It was a huge shock to me, yes he might have been a misunderstood celebrity but i have never seen any music star ever sing so many songs for so many causes.
I'm 16 but i love his music.

Since were on the topic of celebrity/American icons deaths, just read that Billy Mays died );
At the age of fifty.

No more oxy clean or other yelling infomercials about products to make our house living better.
Going to miss his yelling ;__;

...wow. Seriously?

...yes, I do believe that this cluster of death is getting creepy beyond reason. *praying for the well-being of her friends and heroes*

Very shocking to me. My husband told me when he got back from working out and my heart skipped a beat. I grew up hearing Michael (1977 - man I'm old!) and it is hard to have an icon that you grew up on die so early. I liked him back in the day, but now not so much. He was very entertaining. I felt bad for him because of all the weirdness with him. I blame his father. He was very abusive and pushed the kids all the time. I am proud though of him on how he kept his kids a secret. He doesn't have them show their faces and that is good. They don't need to be exploited. I think the whole dangling baby situation was not a good thing, but believe he was pushed into doing it because people were pressuring him to show his kids. When you are loved by billions of people and followed on a daily basis, you will do strange things. It is a shame and a great loss to the world.
