baychef said:Being the same age as Michael, this is sad news. I remember growing up and the music being so happy from the Jackson 5. He had such talent but unfortunately, his life took so many sad turns. Hopefully the man (and the child he remained) is at peace. I feel very bad for his children.
And Farrah Fawcett losing her battle with cancer today too. A very sad day in the entertainment world.
I expect to hear that Patrick Swayze has passed soon. My aunt had pancreatic cancer too and it just wastes the body terribly.
