Michael Jackson meninggal dunia

Siapa tak kenal dengan Michael Jackson? Sila angkat keyboard... hehe... Rata² dari kita kenal dengan penyanyi evergreen ini yang meletop dengan lagu² pop seperti Thriller, Black or White, Beat It, Bad dan pelbagai lagi lagu yang memang acik gemari diwaktu muda dulu...

Bukan setakat lagunya bagus didengar, kalau melihat kepada videoclipnya, dengan kelincahan M.Jackson beraksi dan menari serta dengan gayanya tersendiri, sememangnya memukau diri kita yang sama waktu hidup dengannya dulu...

Dikatakan kesemua album M.Jackson terjual dengan begitu banyak sekali dan royalti serta koleksi wang yang diperolehinya mencecah ratusan juta ringgit... dan kehidupan beliau sudah tentulah agak mewah dan hidup dengan serba serbi lengkap sebagai manusia yang bergelar jutawan...

Namun begitulah... hidup didunia ini tidak kekal... Sekuat mana pun kita, segagah mana pun kita dan sekaya mana pun kita... pabila tiba detik dan saatnya Allah menghendaki malaikat maut menarik roh kita... maka sesaat itulah perintah dilaksana dan tiada sesiapa yang boleh menghalangnya... Jikalau Nabi Muhammad SAW juga akan wafat, inikan pulak kita sebagai manusia biasa...

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) -

Michael Jackson, the child star turned King of Pop who set the world dancing but whose musical genius was overshadowed by a bizarre lifestyle and sex scandals, died on Thursday. He was 50.

Jackson was pronounced dead at 2:26 p.m. PDT (5:26 p.m. EDT) after arriving at a Los Angeles hospital in full cardiac arrest, said Fred Corral of the Los Angeles County Coroner's office. The cause of death was not known and an autopsy would likely take place on Friday, he said.

Jackson was taken ill at home and his personal physician tried to resuscitate him but could not, his brother Jermaine told reporters. Jackson was taken by paramedics to the hospital, where doctors worked for more than an hour to try to revive him before pronouncing him dead, the brother said.

Known as the "King of Pop," for hits that included "Thriller" and "Billie Jean," Jackson's dramatic, one-gloved stage presence and innovative dance moves were imitated by legions of fans around the world.

His lifetime record sales tally was believed to be around 750 million, and with his 13 Grammy Awards and boundary-breaking music videos he was one of the most successful entertainers of all time.

But Jackson's belief that "I am Peter Pan in my heart," his preference for the company of children, his friendship with a chimp, his high-pitched voice and numerous plastic surgeries also earned him critics and the nickname "Wacko Jacko."
