Michael Jackson Record sales soar!
Michael Jackson the self proclaimed King Of Pop died on the 25th of June 2009 at the age of 50.
The coroner recorded a verdict of cardiac arrest.
Earlier, the Los Angeles Times said that the singer had been rushed to a Los Angeles-area
hospital by fire department paramedics who found him not breathing when they arrived at the singer's home.
The newspaper said paramedics performed cardiopulmonary resuscitation at the scene before taking him
to the UCLA Medical Center hospital.
Jackson had been due to start a series of comeback concerts in London on July 13 running until
March 2010. The singer, whose hits include "Thriller" and "Billie Jean," had been rehearsing in the
Los Angeles area for the past two months.
The shows for the 50 London concerts sold out within hours of going on sale in March.
Jackson started out as a child star in the band "The Jackson 5" more than 40 years ago.
