RIP MJ

Pop star Michael Jackson has died aged 50 after being rushed to hospital in Los Angeles after suffering a suspected cardiac arrest.

The Los Angeles Times newspaper said the singer was not breathing when paramedics arrived at his Bel Air home home at about 1230 (1900GMT).

The paramedics performed CPR on Jackson as the ambulance took him to the UCLA medical centre, officials say.

The star was due to begin a series of comeback concerts with an appearance at London's O2 arena on 13 July.

We all know about his various problems in recent years but I would prefer to remember him as he was. A hugely talented, creative artist who has had a massive influence on me personally and on music in general.
