Pop icon Michael Jackson has today, Thursday June 25th, passed away following a massive coronary at his rented home in Los Angeles. Medics attending to a 911 call tried to revive him, when they found him not breathing, but the situation was too serious and required that the pop star was taken to the UCLA Medical center. The singer was getting ready to begin his comeback tour of 50 dates that was to begin this July 13th in London. 


He had been rehearsing in LA for the upcoming concert at the Staples center, which is why he was back in LA. It is thought that Michael Jackson's system may have been compromised by his addiction to prescription pills according to revelations by spokesman Brian Oxman, in a press conference issued at the UCLA Medical Center.

It was also revealed tonight that Michael Jackson was also anorexic. I am currently watching live coverage on CNN, of a helicopter carrying the pop icons body, which just goes to show the enormity of this moment! There will be tributes paid all across the world all across TV channels and of course we would be remiss if we did not include some photographic tributes and a video or two.
