    What a shock! No matter what his scandals were in his life, his music was and always will be what he should be remembered for. He will finally be at peace. Like him or hate him, he was an icon in the music industry.

    He might have been 50 but he looked like he was about 25 and the inside of him way around 5 years old I would have married him with no strings attached. Just because he was a sweet loving caring man that wanted someone to love him for him not just cause he was made of money. I have always said money is just paper you make it and spend it thats not what the world and your life is about.

    Even though he is gone physically he is still here spiritualy and within eveyone else. I am so sad about it but I think there is something that they are not telling us about the stupid dr. he should have known better to having do CPR on the bed. It don't matter how fradual you are if you are a DR you should know how to do it with out hurting anyone fragual or not.

    Perhaps was given a high dosage of drugs for aids. Perhaps studying the cavity.

    we always pass a judgment based on our misconceptions. We rather see the positive and nice side of him. It is always easy to talk about negative and bad thing which turns to a gossip, lets just remember him with all good things he did. He was an amazing star. He has fans all over the world. He got tributes from millions of people all over the world. I am not a big fan of him but since i saw the love of people toward him i changed my mind. No one was as famous as him. It is always easy to target famous people. Lets leave the judgment to god and as human being we should pray for him and let his soul rest in peace.

    I wish this hadn't happen to him he was a good man. I know that he did not do anything to a little boy because if he did don't you think that you would've heard some more shocking news because he had children and a wife.
