Well, it's certainly not official as of this post. Reputable news organizations are still refusing to say.

There was a bit of a delay confirming Kennedy was dead, so he could indeed be dead.

Or, ya know, not.

Oh, man. A tragic life, a lot of darkness - but I won't ever forget wearing a single glove and a Michael Jackson pin at the age of five. Dancing to his music - and don't kid yourself, it was ****ING GREAT music - in my basement. I'm genuinely sad.

I wouldn't be surprised, but I want something besides TMZ or outlets parroting the TMZ story.

Thanks Tom!

The little boy in me cannot mourn all that much for his demise, if it's true.

Neverland man ... meet the real Neverland.

I'm not celebrating or anything, but while a great musical talent ... this guy is not, imo, deserving of all the love. He did some horrible stuff.

Half of it to his own face.

No kidding LSPE. While I neither had a basement nor a white glove, Jackson 5and Michael Jackson was a big part of my musical life growing up. He had some serious talent, incredible talent.

I still have Thriller and Off the Wall, great albums.

I saw this too-very sad. Sad for the loss of who he was, who he could have been- and for his children.

A bit morbid, but...

If he is dead, then we can go back to enjoying his early music without remorse.

If an LA Times blog post can be considered official, it seems to be official.
