Wow.

I guess Sky Saxon's passing isn't the big music death of the day. The brilliant, and troubled, ride of Michael Jackson has come to an end. According to TMZ, Jackson suffered a heart attack while in Los Angeles and passed away shortly after being rushed to a hospital. He was 50 years old.

P.S. I hate trusting TMZ as a source, so we will confirm this once we hear it from someplace more reputable. No, Perez Hilton doesn't count.

3:21 Update:
"CNN sources now say that Michael Jackson is in a coma"

3:25 Update:
CNN: "Both the Los Angeles Times and CBS News is reporting that Michael Jackson has died"
