On the evening before he died, Michael Jackson, was doing what he loved to do. The late “King of Pop” was rehearsing for his upcoming tour at the Staples Center in Los Angeles, but he reportedly arrived three hours late and appeared “listless and lethargic.”
The rehearsal reportedly went late into the evening, and Michael was singing and dancing with the backup dancers and the band. [Photo: Getty Images]

Michael will alwayz be remembered for all the wonderful things he has done in life…& even though he is gone, he would never be forgotten…we love u Michael & u will truly be missed by many….
I REMEMBER GROWING LISTENING TO MJ, BOY GEORGE, DEBARGE, AND A WHOLE LOT OF OTHERS, BUT MICHAEL JACKSON WAS THE FAVE, HE IS THE BEST AND WILL ALWAYS BE. HE WILL LIVE ON FOR ETERNITY HERE ON EARTH AND IN HEAVEN. GOD WILL WELCOME HIM AND PRAISE HIM FOR THE ART HE CREATED IN DANCE AND SINGING. R.I.P MICHEAL J. AND TO THE JACKSON FAMILY YOU ARE IN OUR PRAYERS.
I STILL CANT BELEIVE HE IS GONE, I HAVE BEEN WATCHING ALL DAY ABOUT MJ, AND IT JUST DOES NOT SEEM REAL, I AM JUST WAITING FOR IT TO BE ANNOUNCED THAT HE IS OKAY AND JUST WANTED TO BE IN HIDING SO HE CAN RELAX AND BE OUT OF THE POPULATION FOR AWHILE. I WISH THAT EVERYONE WOULD STOP TALKING ABOUT THE NEGATIVE IN HIM AND THINK ABOUT THE POSITIVE THAT MICHAEL BROUGHT OUT INTO THE WORLD.
Michael was a child prodigy, a natural genius, a legend by nature, an incomparable, extraordinary, awesome style and out-of-this-world talent but as he was consumed in his own fame he dearly lost freedom which he was craving till his last and during his bad times he was repeatedly deceived by his own people for easy money. Now, that he died, he must be extremely happy to get complete freedom he craved since his childhood and now he earned his complete independence from this treacherous world! Forever goodbye, Michael… the big wide world of music, dance, art and entertainment who truly knows you will never forget you until they die ! You are truly a legend – Lawrence Novva, Bangalore, India.
Michael came into this world as a talented young man. His childhood was stripped away and he was thrust into an adult world. Now he is gone. Everyone needs to let this wonderful human being lie in peace and leave his children and family alone. Why must people destroy what is left? Haven’t we done enough to Michael. The media needs to leave all of this alone and let his family recover if they ever can. Michael gave us so much, why can’t we give back and be kind, gentle and peaceful like him. He was not perfect and made many mistakes, just as all of us have. But Michael was always put under a microscope for everything he did. Remember Michael is in Heaven having to answer to GOD for his sins, that should be enough. Leave him alone to rest in peace. Just remember all of the good things he did for fans and the rest of the world. I will miss him and so will my children and those who grew up with him! I love Michael!
My Dearest condolences go out to to the Jackson family… my prayers and love go out to them at their time of grief. Michael will be deeply missed.{GOD BLESS THE JACKSON FAMILY}

WHAT THE WORLD NEEDS TO REMEMBER IS MICHEAL DIED TRYING TO GET BACK TO BEING THE MICHEAL JACKSON THAT WE LOVED. HE GAVE UP HIS YOUTH TO ENTERTAIN THE WORLD AND WHEN HE TRIED TO GET IT BACK WE LOOKED AT HIM WRONG. LET’S REMEMBER HIM FOR WHAT HE IS AND WILL ALWAYS BE A ICON.
Thank you Michael for all those wonderful songs and vedios. I will trully miss you. I was
waiting for you to make a come back. Now that you are gone the world has lost the
greatest entertainer,singer,writer, etc. And through your songs you will still be alive to
all your fans,and your legacy will also live.
It feels like a part of my childhood is gone. I remember dancing, singing, and dreaming when I listened to his music. He will be thought of today,tomorrow, and forever. He goes down in history like all the other great of our time. Rest in peace. We will miss you.

I GREW UP WITH THE ABC 123 SONG & LOVE ALL YOUR MUSIC. YOU’LL ALWAYS BE REMEMBER. PEOPLE OUT THERE, PLEASE JUST REMEMBER THE GOOD THINGS AND NOT THE BAD ONES!

JACKSON HES IN HEAVEN RIGHT NOW DANCEIN AND SINGIN WITH ALL OUR LOST ONES. SO DONT FEEL BAD BE HAPPY FOR HIM CUZ HE CHANGED ALL OUR LIVES. HE WUZ A GREAT MAN AND I WUD LOVE TO CLIMB TREES WITH HIM IN HEAVEN ANYTIME.
The days are passing but it is still hard to believe that Michael is not here anymore. Just the night before he spent dancing and singing. It shook me so badly. I immediately thought of his kids, no matter how much money you have kids need parents love and especially Michael loved his kids so much and tried everything to protect them from papparazzi and exposure to media. I kept thinking how can this happen I just wish someone was there and could have given some treatment to revive him. Just like that he is no more and he is gone! It’s not fair.
I like his 4 albums especially ‘We are the World,’ ‘Earth Song,’ Heal the World,’ ‘Black or White,’ and my favorite song is ‘You are not alone.’ If you take look at the four albums and listen to the lyrics Michael has written you’ll come to know hewas such a caring person not just about one thing but he was worried and cared about the pollution, deforestation, the racism, the importance of getting together to change the world, to save the people who are suffering etc. He was able to get the message and what he wanted to say or create awareness about the important issues he did with powerful lyrics, powerful singing with emotion, feeling, the grief of losing the greenery and hurting the earth how well we can hear in his voice so clearly. Michael has so much energy and he used that energy so well in dancing, singing which are his favorite things.
It will take sometime for me to realize that he is not there and it did really happen within minutes just like that and whatever happened before he passed away I hope he didn’t go through the suffering miserably and realizing that he was going to die and start thinking about kids first who were his eyes or life I should say. Hope someone from his family will take care of the kids very carefully and raise them showing what a wonderful singer, writer,singer their father was and most importantly what a great father he was who loved them so much. I’m a chronic patient and I can understand him taking pain killers but he should have managed it through a pain management people who can direct what medicine is good for you and how much he should take in the supervision of the pain specialists. Anyone out there who are taking too many pain killers please realize that they are dangerous if you take without supervision so please be carefully.
Michael Jackson lives in the hearts of his fans forever.
Lots of love to his kids and his family members who are grieving for such a wonderful person.
Peace,
Durga.
i’M GLAd tHAt MiCHAEL GOt tO dO WHAT HE dOES BEST BEfORE PASSiNG ON tO A BETTER PlACE
I am enjoying the video tribute on VH1 Soul – however…. could you please show the videos that shaped his career? Such as Beat It, I Wanna Rock With You, Thriller, Billie Jean? If I see “Have You Seen My Childhood” one more time…
Thanks
Words will never be enough to explain the life and impact of this great man. Micheal Jackson is not only the “KING OF POP” but he cared so much for the world and the people who lived in it no matter who you were!! I remember growing up to his music and was still amazed by it when he was still running strong with it in these past years. I still can not believe it one minute we heard the report on tv about him and then left the house and five mins. later it announced on the radio about his passing and was just struck, called my mother and she didn’t believe me. Huge fans and always will be!! Prayers for the Jackson family!! The good lord has come for one of his sons and now MJ will be entertaining in the greatest and grandest stage of them all!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
why why why did mj have to leave us?? He was the best of all time. I LOVE YOU MJ <3 R.I.P.
Michael Jackson changed many lives with his music. Every single one of his songs were great. His dance moves, his music, and his style will forever more be loved memories. No one can ever replace him. He will always stay in our hearts. Michael Jackson may you rest in peace. We love you!
I truly believe in my heart we have lost the Rembrandt, Monet, Piccaso, etc. of music. Michael Jackson can never be duplicated. He was a once in a lifetime beautiful star that shone brilliantly. I will miss you!!
