All the world is in grief after the death of Pop sensation Michael Jackson. Lately even Barack Obama, the president of America also called him as, 'Spectacular Performer.'
The King of Pop is also known as "natural heir to Elvis." His death at the age of 50 has really sadened his fans world over. The 50 year-Old's history has been filled with bizarre behaviour, sex scandals died of cardiac arrest.
Previously his wife Ex-wife Lisa Marie Presley pointed out that, she predicted Jackson might die in the same, sudden manner as her father, Elvis Presley.
Jackson’s death, just weeks before he was due to start a 50-date tour of the UK, has sent shockwaves around the world.
Rev Jesse Jackson was among those paying tribute to the music icon.
“He tried so hard to get back and he was ready,” he told US channel CBS.
"I can't stop crying over the sad news. I've always admired Michael Jackson – the world has lost one of its greats but his music will live on forever.As a friend of Michael's for the past 35 years, I call on people from around the world to pray for him and his family." said Rev Al Sharpton, civil rights campaigner
Jackson was famous for his moonwalking and thrilling onstage performances. An estimated 750 million records worldwide has been sold. He has revolutionized pop music and winning 13 Grammy Awards. In 1982, he enjoyed phenomenal success with his hit album “Thriller” before going on to release “Bad” in 1987.
Jackson died less than three weeks before he was due to launch a series of comeback concerts in London, and his lasting appeal -- despite being a virtual recluse since his acquittal of child abuse charges at a 2005 trial -- was underlined when 750,000 fans of all ages bought tickets for the sellout gigs.
Jackson was in full cardiac arrest when paramedics arrived at his rented mansion in the Holmby Hills neighbourhood of Los Angeles on Thursday afternoon, with his personal physician trying desperately to revive him.
Police said they were seeking to question Jackson's personal physician, identified by news media as Houston-based cardiologist Dr. Conrad Murray.
Doctors conducted an autopsy on the body of Michael Jackson on Friday but could not immediately determine what killed the "King of Pop," amid reports he had been injected with a narcotic painkiller shortly before collapsing.
While US celebrity magazine Life & Style said a source told them that the eccentric artist had been popping pills, including anti-anxiety or sedative drugs Xanax and Zoloft and painkiller Demerol, for weeks before his death and that an overdose of the deadly cocktail could have caused respiratory and cardiac arrest, TMZ, the US celebrity website that has developed a reputation for showbusiness scoops, said a family source told them that Jackson receives a daily injection of Demerol and on Thursday he received a shot at 11:30 AM, shortly before he complained of breathlessness and collapsed into a coma, probably a result of massive cardiac arrest.
According to Uri Geller, Jackson's close friend, stress over the upcoming UK tour could have prompted Jackson to take a fatal overdose of drugs. "Stress is a killer, any doctor will tell you that. I think the anticipation of this mammoth challenge that was coming upon him, doing these 50 concerts, wanting to be close to perfection when he was going to be on stage, put him under huge, huge pressure. That could have done it, though this is just my opinion," Geller said.
Records reveal years of financial troubles for Murray, who practices medicine in California, Nevada and Texas; his Nevada medical practice, Global Cardiovascular Associates, was slapped with more than $400,000 in court judgments, and he faces at least two other pending cases and several tax liens.
The news of his death as of now is not yet confirmed.
Family members are feeling confused, upset and angry by the lack of information about those who were around the pop superstar in his final days, a person close to the family told The Associated Press.
