He was never going to be a person who died quietly in his old age. His eccentric, contraversial life was never out of the headlines and very often for all the wrong reasons. It has now been confirmed, after a couple of hours of internet fuelled speculation, that Michael Jackson has died. I can’t say I was a huge fan of his music despite there being some fantastic tunes sprinkled through his back catalogue, but I’m certainly feeling a little shocked at the news. I get the feeling that this “story” is going to go the way of Diana’s death, where all semblance of proportion will disappear. Expect much wailing, fields of flowers, a slew of sick jokes on the internet, and more column inches, online and on paper, than you ever thought possible. Rest in Peace, Wacko.

Do You Remember
When We Fell In Love
We Were Young
And Innocent Then
Do You Remember
How It All Began
It Just Seemed Like Heaven
So Why Did It End?
