50 year old Jackson, who had been in ailing health for months, reportedly died of cardiac arrest and was due to commence a punishing global concert tour.
His career, like that of other enigmatic great artists, was marked by brilliance and pock-marked with controversy and he inevitably met the same fate as many.
In a sad coincidence, news of Jackson's death comes at approximately the same time as the passing of Farrah Fawcett who lost her battle with cancer.
