Dippers, divers, sad news is upon us.

Pop legend Michael Jackson has passed away, with reports currently stating that it was from a cardiac arrest. He was 50 years old.

The world of music is in shock. In fact, the whole world it would seem is having a hard time believing this news, not helped by the fact that television stations were reporting contradictory information for quite some time.

Michael Jackson collapsed at his home in West Los Angeles earlier today. Whilst on route to the hospital it would seem that paramedics tried to revive him, but their efforts were in vain.

Jackson, originally from Gary, Indiana, is known to many as the "King of Pop".

After his tremendous work as the Jackson 5 in his early days, Michael went on to have a glittering solo career which included 13 number one singles as well as the fact that his album "Thriller" is the highest selling record of all time, with over 50 million copies sold worldwide.

Michael Jackson was billed to star in his "This is it" tour a 50 show date performance at London's O2 Arena, with fans from all over the world having purchased tickets. Shows were due to commence in July.

He leaves behind his three children, Prince Michael I, Paris and Prince Michael II.

Our thoughts are with the Jackson family at this time.

More news to follow as things proceed.
