Jackson's star on the Hollywood walk of fame, set in 1984.

The King of Pop is dead at 50.

He died today, shortly after being rushed to the UCLA hospital. The cause of death is suspected to be cardiac arrest.

One of the most widely beloved entertainers and profoundly influential artists of all-time, he leaves an indelible imprint on popular music and culture. His personal drama and failures are a laud testimony to the fact that fame and money do not automatically suppose happiness.

R. I. P.
