Pop star Michael Jackson has died in Los Angeles, aged 50, reports say.
Paramedics were called to the singer's home around midday local time on Thursday after he stopped breathing and suffered a suspected cardiac arrest.
He was rushed by ambulance to a local medical centre, but his death was announced shortly afterwards.
The star, who had a history of health problems, had been due to begin a series of comeback concerts in the UK on 13 July.
He had a history of health problems and had not completed a concert tour in 12 years.
US media reports said paramedics were called to the singer's house in Bel Air at midday.
They performed CPR on Jackson and rushed him to the UCLA medical centre.
Crowds have begun to gather outside the facility, whose emergency centre has been roped off by police.
Jackson began his career as a child in family group The Jackson 5.
He then went on to achieve global fame as a solo artist with smash hits such as "Thriller" and "Bad".
But the singer has been dogged by controversy and money trouble in recent years, becoming a virtual recluse.
He is survived by three children, Michael Joseph Jackson Jr, Paris Michael Katherine Jackson and Prince Michael Jackson II.

Pop giant Michael Jackson, who took to the stage as a child star and went on to set the world dancing to the thumping rhythms of his music for decades, died Thursday, TMZ website reported. He was 50.

"We've just learned Michael Jackson has died," TMZ said.

"Michael suffered a cardiac arrest earlier this afternoon and paramedics were unable to revive him. We're told when paramedics arrived Jackson had no pulse and they never got a pulse back," the entertainment site said.

There was no official confirmation of the reported death and spokespersons for Jackson could not be reached for comment.

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 Centre 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.

He has lived as a virtual recluse since his acquittal in 2005 on charges of child molestation.

There have been concerns about Jackson's health in recent years but the promoters of the London shows, AEG Live, said in March that Jackson had passed a 4-1/2 hour physical examination with independent doctors.

God, let's not start another Madonna fight on a topic dedicated to Michael Jackson. I'm not sure yet but almost every source is saying that he has passed away.

This feels SO creepy. I was dancing to "Billie Jean" about eight hours ago - never crossed my mind that it'd be the last time I'd hear a Michael Jackson song while he was alive.

R.I.P. Michael Jackson ....

On another note - my bro says it's brought down all the major news and journal sites on the internet because so many millions of people are reading them or writing on them.

This must be heart wrenching to all of his family, I'm reading people's response on it and saying things like "At least his children are free now" is not funny, people don't have hearts.


Oh and why all of the sudden famous people are dying?

Definitely a big story. Whether you loved him or hated him there is no denying Michael Jackson was one of the most famous people to walk the earth. A lot of people around the world are really going to be changed. It's crazy how much of a following he still has around the world.

My facebook was filled with jokes, ahah.

But what started as a tiny scandal from TMZ escalated, and now this. Still a tad suspicious, but yeah.
