8CountNews is a boxing and mixed martial arts news source, however when news breaks of this magnitude we run it.  MSNBC and The Los Angeles Times have just confirmed that international super-star, Michael Jackson has died.  The pop icon apparently collapsed in a Los Angeles home, and was rushed to the UCLA Medical Center.  According to reports, Jackson was in a coma when he arrived and has since died.

Jackson was 50 years old, and was planning a comeback tour in London.  All of the London shows have already been sold out, and according to reports, Jackson was under tremendous pressure.  MSNBC reported that Jackson had sold out the shows, but has yet to have hired any of the production crew, or dancers for the show.  Jackson started his career with the Jackson Five in the 1960's and went on to be the biggest, number 1 pop sensation in the world.  His career had it's high's and it's rock bottom low's.

Allegations of sexual abuse to children, all of which he was aquitted of, pretty much ended his career.  Jackson died of apparent cardiac arrest earlier this afternoon.
