maybe, poor girl aint gonna get a look in though is she?

Nahh I totally understand with what you mean there... Rob Burrow loves Michael Jackson.. and a big fan, so why wouldnt he be upset about it.. hope he will be ok for the game.

very tall according to Paul Gambicini - taller than (5fticon_cool.gif Dermot O'leary

Whats the difference between Michael Jackson and Sir Aex Ferguson?

Sir Alex will still be playing giggs this autumn.



Seriously though, sad news.

ticketmaster have a major refund job on their hands

Should robs mrs wake him now! Surley he shouldn't find out on game day!! By all accounts he's a total mega fan!! The full 9 yards!! Lets hope he's good to play!! When I found out cobain died I was inconsolable!! I was a lot younger than rob though!!

Agreed. Hope I get my money back for it. All in all, I was really looking forward to seeing such a big star.

proper gutted.

legend?? not sure about that.

I saw him just after he'd peaked, on the Bad Tour.

I had no interest in seeing him this year.

Hope he's remember for the seriously talented youngster he was and the impact he had on the music industry rather than the sad, bizarre last 12 or so years.

Why not? Has anyone in the music industry ever done anything remotely as legendary as Thriller?

I saw him on the one after that!! Dangerous tour!! That was the start of the end really!! pretty much all down hill from there ending today!!

Thriller sold 70 million copies according to Sky News only beaten by the Eagles.I'd say he was a legend.

Nevermind knocked thriller off the top as the fastest selling record of all time! that's pretty impressive!! But a legend no doubt!! Quincy jones needs big props for jacko's best work!!

Kurt lived fast died young - iconic influential album, but we'll never know if he could have maintained it,

Jackson has done it since he was a kid. Jackson 5 stuff through to BAD is legendary stuff, what happened off the field he will be attempting to account for now

whatever you think about him, he is someone that does justify that title.

Tis funny though, I bought his Greatest Hits album, and apart froma couple of Jackson 5 classics, Beat it, Billy Jean and Thriller, the rest was largely very forgettable. Even at the time Bad stank the house out.

Just get 'off the wall' as IMO it was easily his best work

In musical terms, he really does fit the "legendary" billing, however it's difficult to separate that from the personal "baggage" he carried round with him.

Sad to see him go at such a young age though. RIP.

I saw him at Roundhay Park in '88 and much like Madonna the year before it was alright but not especially my type of music.

Still glad I went to both though, they were events.

Michael Jacksons death appears to be down to his DNA - He had the Billy Gene!

Not a fan, ever.

Not a flicker of interest in the Diana-style outpourings of faux grief that will follow either.

I agree with this, especially in this case. Lets face it he hasnt been making any music of any note for a long time, nobody (apart from those who actually know him!) will notice any difference if he is alive or dead TBH.

Whether you loved him or hated him, he was still an icon and will be missed by millions.
In terms of his music, he entertained a generation, and his personal life was lived out in the tabloids. He obviously had great problems, but his music will remain popular for a long time.

He was also a dad, so sincere condolences to his family, his kids and his true fans.

RIP

He may have been barking mad but he was a genuis!! Legend.

Why is it harsh? It's very true.


Same. Although I do like some of his stuff and I do have Bad knocking around on vinyl somewhere.
