Michael Jackson shocker

I have to say when I heard the news this morning when my alarm clock went off I thought it was some kind of sick joke.

There were rumours over his health all over the place - but you always assumed he would just go on forever.

His music to me was part of my childhood and while I was never a die-hard fan, I thought he did some fantastic stuff.

It is a shame his life was so full of controversy, when his credibility as an artist was all that should have mattered.

His talent will certainly live on for generations to come.
