Block on Trump's Asylum Ban Upheld by Supreme Court
Michael Jackson, the King of Pop, passed away today in Los Angeles. He was 50 years old. He leaves behind three children, a legacy of pop music classics, as well as a level of fame and controversy reserved for very few.
As reported by the AP, Jackson died this afternoon in a Los Angeles hospital. Reuters reports that he suffered a cardiac arrest. The exact cause of death has not yet been reported.
A star since his childhood, Jackson's later years were marred by molestation accusations, his heavily covered trial in Santa Maria, California, and repeatedly delayed attempts at a come-back.
His classic album Thriller remains the highest selling album worldwide of all time, with more than 100 million copies sold.
