Michael Jackson's sudden demise at his Beverly Hills home in June became the biggest story of the
decade. The King of Pop died at the age of 50 on June 25 from acute propofol intoxication, leaving
fans, family and friends in shock. "I am absolutely devastated at this tragic and unexpected news,"
producer Quincy Jones said. "For Michael to be taken away from us so suddenly at such a young age,
I just don't have the words." The death of pop legend Michael Jackson shocked the world. Just
moments after his death was announced, numerous sites on the Internet crashed due to an overload
of users looking up details about his death.

Michael Jackson was a talented performer. A great entertainer & singer and a fabulous
dancer/choreographer. His personal life was a disaster. He spent most of his life trying to look and
act like a white woman. Michael is a sad, tragic figure. He died never having grown up. Despite his
talent he remained a bad child - self-indulgent, undisciplined and shallow to the end. He went from
beloved child star to a young adult icon to a strange troubled freak show. No one will ever question
his talent but no one can question that for much of his adult life he was a lonely, tortured soul.
