Michael Jackson has died. Too soon but inevitable. May he rest in peace at last.
To be sure the media has picked up on this, google stalled and twitter went down. Radio has been playing his music all day – even during the news on the main national public service channel!
Personally, I loved his early work and respected his deterioating attempts after departing with Quincy Jones. Surely a genius wonder kid but as always at a price. The best never seem to last long.
