Legendary singer Michael Jackson died Thursday, according to multiple reports. He was 50.

Known worldwide as the “King of Pop,” Jackson reportedly collapsed after what many sources believe was a heart attack in his Los Angeles-area home earlier this afternoon. Police responded to an emergency call just before 12:30PM; he was revived by on-site paramedics and transported to UCLA Medical Center.
