Latest on MJJC

Where were you when you heard about MJ death?

I was working on my artwork for Michael that i was about to take for him to London in July. I did a little break and in the meantime i thought to check mjjc....then i saw the main topic was "Ambulance was seen at..." i clicked it...and at that time there was nothing specific news...this was around 10:30 pm my time (Europe)...from this time i kept following that thread till 3 am...by that time even CNN has confirmed it, but for some reason i kinda refused to believe this all and i was praying maybe not true. I went to sleep, which i couldnt....and at 5 am i got a text message from a friend saying "he died"..i called her and she said it is on his official mj.com site. that was the minute i understood this sad news:(
 
Watching CNN live and kept the faith and prayed for Michael and his children.
I can see it clearly in my memory: Michael Jackson died, not yet confirmed from CNN. So I had hope.
Till that sentence: CNN confirms that Michael Jackson died at an age of 50.
Yeez, I cried alot, my world was about to burst.
 
I was on msn chatting with a fan and we were chatting about how excited we both were about the shows etc. Then I check MJJC and theres a thread saying "MICHAEL RUSHED TO THE HOSPITAL?!" something like that.. of course I didnt believe it when I first read it.. but then pictures of the ambulance were posted and it was everywhere on the news. So I prayed and prayed. I went to my daddys room crying like a baby telling him that Michael was at the hospital and that we needed to pray for him.. My dad didn't believe he was like "Julie.. go to bed.. dont believe those stupid rumours" coz thats what I usually tells him.. I was like "No dad.. this time its true.. this is serious!!" :(
So Im totally cleaned to the computer and television watching CNN.. my friend then texts me "Michael is dead.." and my heart just stopped. "No.. nothing is confirmed yet!! keep praying!!" .. then on CNN Jermaine comes out and confirms it. and oh my God.. :( I was freaking out, crying so much, looking at all my posters going "No no no no.. This cant be happening!!" then when I look on the screen it says Michael Jackson 1958 - 2009 everywhere :'( Worst night of my life.. :'(
 
I was at my girlfriends home when she woke me to tell the sad news. I couldn't believe her at first cause she new how much I liked Michael, I thought she was just kidding around.
Then I turned on CNN and sadly had to find out it was true.
 
I was still in bed when mum came in and mentioned that there is something on the news that I would want to know. I asked what and she said: "Michael Jackson". My instinct response was: "he is coming to Australia?". She said no, and then I layed there for a moment until I finally said; please do not tell me he is dead. To that, she said yes. I seriously felt my heart fall. I came out and saw that there were 'reports' that he was dead - I said that I will not believe it until it is confirmed. On that note, I went back to bed but I could not sleep.

Mum came in half an hour later and told me it was confirmed. Tears rolled onto my pillow. I turned on the TV in my room and saw the blunt headline across the bottom of the screen - "Michael Jackson Dead".

I'm beginning to tear up now just thinking about it. I never want to feel again what I felt that morning. :(
 
I remember what happened that night rather distinctly. I was in bed. Hadnt long gone to sleep, i got woken up with a text from my friend saying. "Omg MJ's been rushed into hospital and isnt breathing. x" That point i didnt believe it and just thought it was a stupid rumour, i then rethought and said to myself what if it is true. I actualy thought to myself what if he dies? I said to myself i cant think of that, he'll be fine. I starting praying that he'd be ok. I coulsnt get back to sleep i kept thinking about him.
My sister then text me saying this "Im so sorry, i wanna be with you right now and give you a hug. This will all make sense in the morning. I love you so much." I started to get worried. I text back saying "What? What? Whats going on just tell me!?" She then rang me, she was crying down the phone. I asked her what, i had a feeling it would be MJ related, but thought she'd say he'd been rushed into hospital, which i knew. But then she eventually said he'd died. I burst into tears, i broke down so much. Crying very loudly. She said she was so sorry for me. It was honestly the worst news one of the worst news i'd had. My mum came in spoke to my sister on the phone and she hugged me. I still didnt believe it and said it wasnt true. I was in total shock.
I eventually turned on SkyNews. "Michael Jackson has died" it still didnt sink in then. It really was some horrible nightmare that l couldnt wake up from. I cried and cried, couldnt stop. Eventually went upstairs 1:30am. I continued laying on my bed crying, didnt get much sleep. Cried myself to sleep eventually. I listened to one of MJs speeches on my mp3, the one with Janet presenting award at Grammys and cried even more. I think i got maximum of 2 hours sleep.

The worst night of my life.
 
I was here on this forum...it was late at night in Romania and I came here to read something I hadn't visited any forum in days
and I read about him being taken to the hospital...when I heard he was dying I thought I was dreaming I started to go out of my mind
I don't watch any tv or read the news so I wouldn't have learned about his death for some time had it not been for my visit to the forum...crazy

We were on the couch, watching a documentary about airports on BBC. My husband went over to the computer to look up something on a forum real quick, restarted the browser and saw a headline on Drudge Report. He said, "What??! What is this???? No..."

I said, "What's up?!"

He replied, with total shock in his voice, "What is THIS?? What?!!! Hold on, let me check something..."

I had a shot of fear about Michael at first, because of the tone of my husband's voice, but then figured maybe we'd gotten a computer virus or something. I just knew something big was wrong. He clicked a couple of pages and then said, "It's Michael..." (Every cell in my body froze up and I already felt like dropping to the floor before he finished his sentence)..."his heart stopped."

It was like some kind of hellish chill that overtook my entire universe. I grabbed the remote and flipped immediately to CNN for confirmation. At that point it said "cardiac arrest" and "rushed to hospital". I know what that means and the small hope attached to the situation. It quickly turned to "coma". My husband said, "Well, there go the concerts." And I said, "Who gives a f*ck about the concerts??!?" That hadn't even crossed my mind. Who cares, just please save Michael! I prayed and prayed and prayed, desperately begging God, "Please, God, please don't take Michael. Please God, please don't take Michael... pleeeeaaaase."

Then came that awful headline I always hoped I'd never see (unless it was maybe 30 years from now).

I couldn't bear it at all, my shirt soaked with tears already by this point, huddled into some weird position on the couch. I couldn't breathe. My chest hurt. Everything went cold. I yelled to turn off the TV. God, I couldn't see that damned headline. I couldn't hear those words. We sat in the dark, wailing and crying, for like 3 hours before I could bear turning the TV back on.

I've had horrible breakups, I've been through some hellish situations in my life that I don't want to share, I've had family/friends die (albeit not super close ones), I've wanted to die before while lost in depression with my entire life and health falling apart before my eyes... but that (mostly June 26th, due to the time difference) is officially the worst day of my life. I have never felt that destroyed. But then, from the time I was 12 years old, I always knew it would be. I could never explain to anyone how much Michael has meant to me for over 25 years. Only some of you could understand, I think. :cry:
 
I had been at the college to check some stuff. After that headed home and when I first turned on the TV it said Michael Jackson in Cardiac Aresst...

I started freaking out and me and my sister started praying.

I turned on my phone, it was flooded with texts about Michael...

My cousin called me crying saying he died but I said, no he's just in a coma he'll be okay. She said call back if I hear anything. All this time I'm thinking, Stupid, silly, shouldn't have worked so hard, you can't die you have kids...

Then CNN confirmed it. I remember saying "No..." I was crying. My friend called who was with my cousin saying my cousin was crying her eyes out. I talked with her for a second then I started crying some more.

When my cousin got home, she was crying in her car. She came came in the house and we held each other and cried...
 
Right here on the computer lol, wrapping up some online schoolwork. Me and my siblings were laughing at some stuff earlier, so the vige was alright... until when I was watching 106 and Park, and Terrance had gave the nes that Michael had suffered cardiac arrest (ugh) and was being rushed to the hospital. I screamed WHAT? and immediately stared panicking, tried to come on here when I saw hella alota people on here and the server crashed, and when that happened I rushed into the room to tell my mom. She was so surprised and scared and changed the channel to CNN, where it all went down. My dad had called from his home to tell me the news, but I was already out of it. I just couldn't believe this was really happening :( Still feels so surreal, and nerve racking.
 
I was at my brother house and was listening to my michael jackson ipod on the line

Hello! New member here. I'd like to share my story.

I was shopping at the store with my brother and we had called my mom to see if she needed anything while I was there. My dad told my brother and then handed the phone to me and my dad told me. I was like this when he told me. :mello: I was completely blank, I didn't know what to feel. After we hung up, I just stood there thinking, what? Michael Jackson, no, it can't be, this must be some sort of hoax. I was looking at the shoppers like, did you hear this? Is it true? I really don't know how to explain it, like I was in a daze or something. I got to the car and heard his songs and tributes but it still wasn't registering.

When I got home my parents had the news on and I ran to the computer and sure enough it was there, but it's like my mind couldn't comprehend this and process it. :(

Even seeing all the channels and websites confirming this, it was still unreal to me.

Yes! Me too! I just was on the phone talking to a friend about the London shows, looking forward to his imminent long awaited comeback, just being genuinely happy, that we've finally reached that point... then I hung up and wanted to check the boards one more time before going to bed and I came here and saw that thread which at first I did not really take serious and the rest is sad history... I didn't spend one minute of sleep that night!
 
it was about 10pm and i was on face book
and got a text of my mate asking me if i had seen the news
there all like MJ is dead i replied telling them to stop lying and thought nothing of it cause
i no what people where like towards me liking him.
that was untill my mum put the teletext on and was like "oh my Michael Jacksons been rushed to hospital" and then i sat an watch sky news with tears running down my face shaking and feeling sick. but i had a bad feeling all day tbh.
 
It was 1pm in the afternoon here. I was in bed with the flu.

Someone was bashing on our front door, so I pulled myself out of bed because it sounded like an emergency.
It was a elderly man for a cancer charity asking for donations for the mid year drive or somehting so I gave him all my gold coins.
I was going to go back to bed but I went on my laptop quick to check facebook for news/messages.
I don't have any MJ fans as friends :( but everyone's status was "RIP Farrah and MJ".
I thought "MJ" would be anyone since they never liked him.

But I googled Michael Jackson anyway...

Then I cried.
A lot.
 
I was working on a song in the studio.. It's hard to finish that one.. But I have to..
 
I was working at Gymboree. My boyfriend text me that he had been rushed to the hospital, and then he text me that he died. I started freaking out and had to go to the backroom for a little bit. But since I was the manager I had to pull myself together. My dad called and told me though. Then I went home and watched the news and cried. =[
 
Michael Jackson's passing probable lost my chance on a job. I went to bed early because of the jobinterview so I missed the news about his passing in the middle of the night (European time).
The next day, I rushed to my jobinterview. I was prepared so well and realy wanted to take a chance in a carreer-swift. Anyway, on the way to the interview I turned on the radio and hear about his passing. I was in shock and disbelief.
My interview went horrible wrong because my mind drifted away all the time ...
Well pointless to say, I didn't get the job :D
 
It was after I woke up at 9 in the morning. I was headed to the bathroom to wash my face when my mom sees me and asks "do you know who died?" and I said "no, who?" and when she said "Michael Jackson" I was so shocked I just didn't know what to say.. I went inside the bathroom and cried my eyes out..
 
I was in nursing school...getting ready for lecture...my daughter texted me and told me of the cardiac arrest....and I remember thinking "Michael!! Just hold in there baby!" and then someone in class told the class about him being dead. OMG. How sad! I couldn't concentrate too much after that...
 
watching history live preparing for the concerts. getting excited! so excited.
then a friend texted me sayign he's rushed to hospital with heart attack and I thought, yeah..pft. here we go again witht he stories.. got on mjjcommunity but the site had crashed for me so I went on maximum and I saw the thread and read a source saying he indeed may have in fact passed away! I just thought this is BS. it can't be.. but I started to tear up..
so I ran downstairs turned on the tv and asked my mum what's going on.
she looked shocked and they said he was in a coma. I ran outside and walked for a trip for an hour..just shaking..crying..my cousin then came with her car and just shook her head. I fell down on the ground..my body was numb.
I then went home and saw the news: michael jackson dies.
it was confirmed.

I have NEVER cried like THAT before.
NEVER.
never.

he was my everything

my soul has died.


I went up to my room again and my "this is it" tour poster had falled down from my wall. the only poster that had done that..the only one representing his future.. and even the dvd was totally messed up. same part going over and over again in smooth criminal. I ran outside my room..
 
I was cleaning my house and watching a music chanel and it seemed really strange to me because they were broadcasting only MJ videos. When the commercial break came, I had heard a heart beat that went flat and "1958-2009" written on the screen. I didn't know what to believe so I went to the pc and googled Michael Jackson, and then I knew...
 
My brother called me in the middle of the night, when I had just fallen asleep. He first said: "you probably didn't hear the news yet?" and immediately I "knew" what he was going to say, despite desperately hoping for it to be something else. I mean, he doesn't normally call me in the middle of the night and from the tone of his voice I knew he didn't have good news to tell. Plus, we had bought tickets to one of the This Is It concerts and had been talking about it earlier that day. I put the computer on, started watching CNN and came to this board, finding out that the news hadn't been confirmed yet. More than anything, I hoped and prayed for it to be something else and that Michael would survive, but finally we got a confirmation no one would have liked to hear. I was in a state of shock and couldn't even cry at first, but at some point tears started falling uncontrollably. I didn't sleep a second that night and was probably acting like a ghost at work the day after.
