"Pop star Michael Jackson has been rushed to hospital in Los Angeles after suffering a suspected cardiac arrest. The singer was not breathing when paramedics arrived at his Bel Air home at about 1230 (1930GMT), media reports say.
Unconfirmed reports on TMZ entertainment website say the 50-year-old star has died.
The paramedics performed CPR on Jackson as the ambulance took him to the UCLA medical centre, officials say.
Crowds have begun to gather outside the facility, whose emergency centre has been roped off by police.
The star was due to begin a series of comeback concerts with an appearance at London's O2 arena on 13 July."

    I know he had his odd moments, but I do believe he was one of the greatest artistes in the world-He will never be replaced.

    RIP

    Very sad news, only 50 years old.
    An amazing artist, never to be replaced.
    I was also looking forward to seeing him at the O2, but my thoughts are with his family & children.
    No matter what people think of him he was still a SON and a FATHER
