A couple of days late, but this news was huge- Michael Jackson passed away. The reaction has for the most part been very sad as Jackson was no doubt one of the greatest entertainers of the 20th century. What are your thoughts on it?

Personally, I am sad to see him go, but his legacy will live on- I would really compare it to Elvis, especially with his tragic end as well.

It was just totally unbelievable to me. Almost as though we have been robbed of all the music that he would still have produced. I'm really very sorry that he passed away. I hope that they taped his rehearsals for the England shows however, and that maybe one day it will be for sale.

As usual, i shall act, well after events have taken place and with extreme controversy.

Frankly, i'm glad to see him go. I'm happy that he kicked the bucket, not to put too fine a point on it.

I think my dad (a radical Green) was quite correct in saying that he was ashamed in sharing a birthday with MJ.

I apologise to any fans for saying this (i mildly approve of his "Thriller" album myself), but i think that a person that holds their child out of a window is not worthy of my respect or even my pity.

Unconfirmed accusations of kiddie-fiddling only provoke further disgust.

And now his death has been ruled a homicide. Looks like the drugs his doctor gave him caused the death.

It's such a shame to think about what brought him down. I remmeber listening to many of his songs when I was a kid and it brings back a lot of nastolgia listening to them again with all the news coverage.

It is important that he was murdered. The doctor, wasn't it? I think he may need a lot of help, psychologically. Alternatively, what did he have to gain through the death?

I can't imagine he did it on purpose, however he must have been negligent. He obviously did not have an understanding of what his patient was consuming, and how what he was prescribing could possibly affect Jackson.

If, as a doctor, you have to think "oops, i accidentally killed my own patient in a completely avoidable situation", it's time for you to retire and think about that job down the pencil factory.

I was not defending him. In my mind he is completely guilty and irresponsible. One of those people with good intentions but mostly to get himself well presented and rich, rather than genuine concern about his patient. If he was doing his job properly, then he might not have agreed to be Jackson's physician, as I have a feeling that Jackson had to go for exactly that kind of doctor to get the medication he wanted. A very good physician would not have agreed to give him all the medication he was experimenting with and would have refused to treat him.
