Rest in peace, King of Pop

The big news today was the death of Michael Jackson. He passed away at age 50 after lapsing into a coma, which was the result of cardiac arrest which occurred earlier today. 
Personally, I was saddened by this news - though Jackson had become increasingly bizarre and strange in the last two decades, I had remained a big fan of his music, and was glad to see him get back on his feet recently and announce a series of huge concerts in Europe. 
I won't comment on his personal issues, or the scandal and controversy that surrounded his life at all times. I do hope, however, that people recognize the passing of an icon, an entertainment titan, and truly, the King of Pop.
