i wasnt aware he was having so many health problems!! he is blind 95% in his left eye, cant speak and needs a lung transplant from some freak of nature genetic disease.. he's only 50 years old!!
i just hope he figures out something good for his kids and maybe if something does happen to him then they will be places in homes they dont have to wear veils etc... but then again who could he trust to have them?? sigh..
or do you think this news is all a publicity stunt??

responses and comments:
Hello this news could be a publicity stunt. He is getting sued for something right now here in California I forget for what. But I am sure that is what his doctors are telling everyone so that people feel sorry for him. I could be wrong and I hope that I am. I really liked him in his younger years. He was really an idol for all kids. So sad that things had to change like that. [patriciaqualls]
Thank you for best response have a nice day. [patriciaqualls]
That article was based on an interview with a writer who was in the process of completing an unauthorized biography of MJ. It looks like he's just creating this story to create publicity for the book he's writing. MJ's people already have denied rumors about his "failing" health. Here's the link: http://uk.reuters.com/article/UKNews1/idUKTRE4BM03V20081223 [spoiledbrat802]
that pisses me off because i saw it announced that he was having health probs on msnbc's little thing that tells news that runs at the bottom of the screen.. i kept missing the articles though.. but if they ran it at the bottom i figured it was true since they are always good about things [moonlitmagikchild]
hmm.... i find him kind of wierd.. the operations he had.... changing his skin color and god knows what else he had done to his body... dont you think sooner or later he will have the side affects of whatever he had done... maybe it is a publicity stunt... to get attention..... you never know with these movie stars... [j47lee]
yeah i was thinking that whatever he had done to his skin (if its not true about whatever he says did it naturally lol) or that weird oxygen chamber he was always going into may have damaged his lungs.. apparently the above poster found on reuters that his people are denying it so maybe it is a publicity stunt [moonlitmagikchild]
Wait a minute, I need to work up some sympathy. Here it comes, oops there it goes. Nope can't do it. I'd be really surprised if any bit of his DNA is in any one of those kids. They are way way too white. Maybe he bleached them.blink [irishidid]
god i hope not but with him i wouldnt be surprised.. above poster said they found it on reuters that they are denying it so it may have been a publicity bs [moonlitmagikchild]
Wow. I really can't believe it. That's some crazy symptons but I guess weirder things have happened? If this isn't a publicity stunt, I wish him better health in the near future. [TrayBlaylock]
i feel bad for him because of how bad his growing up was.. he's like the poster child of what can happen when you treat your kids like crap [moonlitmagikchild]
I think that everything Michael Jackson has ever done is some sort of political stunt. He's lived hard, and done all kinds of bizarre things to his body, and to the bodies of those around him. He is now paying for what he has done over his life. I don't mean that in a religious sense, I mean, abuse yourself, pay for it later. [danishcanadian]
yeah i understand.. well if it is a publicity stunt its a sick one!! i hate people that fake illnesses!! [moonlitmagikchild]
I'm a fan of Michael Jackson since his Jackson 5 days but it seems he's gotten weird as each day pass by. Such a talent gone to waste. He needs help psychologically and emotionally. As for the latest news, I really don't know if I got to believe it or not anymore. [newdawn8]
yeah he seriously needs a psychological evaluation [moonlitmagikchild]
I read about it; it was in the Turkish papers today. I don't think it's a publicity stunt; I guess Michael Jackson hardly needs it, but then again you never know. Nevertheless 50 years is too short a life span and I hope he gets over this. He's still the idol of many people, all around the world. [Zalvor]
ok so you saw it in other news places too?? some one above found in reuters that they are denying it but i saw something about it being mentioned on msnbc which usually is always great about getting their facts straight [moonlitmagikchild]
Hey do you think this would be a publicity stunt,i dont think so,he is really dying and he's fighting for is life..why are making him a bad fiqure by saying all these..he really could be a bad man but now he has really corrected himself and its long known that he has some sort of disease and it really has affected him badly now and i really hope he recovers and gets home soon..he is the king of pop and no crictic can bring him down just because he was born black..lets all pray for him to recover and not post badly of him. Happy Mylotting. [balacancer22]
That's bad news for his legions of fans. I'm not sure if it's a publicity stunt since the degree of the rumor is something to be taken seriously because it's already a matter of life and death. He has contributed a lot in the music industry and i think no matter what, he still deserves to be treated well and let's just hope for his speedy recovery. [modstar]
well i saw it mentioned on msnbc and some one else saw it in a turkish newspaper so i dont know what to think with the other replier posting that reuters thinks its a publicity stunt [moonlitmagikchild]
It's very sad to here that MJ is not feeling well he is a very great dancer and i hope he will get well soon and make the world rock with his new album. I really love to see him dancing i have collection of all his songs. Many of my friends say that it is a false news but just think why will he do this he more craze for his albums if it a false news but if it is true let us hope he will get well soon [saichandtalluri]
he was suppose to have made a few comebacks the past couple of years but kept canceling them so i dont know if his health was a reason why or if he is just paranoid compared of all the charges he has had against him [moonlitmagikchild]
oh,it is really bad news,i like listen to michael jackson's music.i hope it is not the true news,maybe he's health not so bad and i hope he can change better,waiting for hear from michael jackson's good news and hope listen to his new song.everybody should bless him.happy mylotting. [machel2008]
I have to wonder if it truly is genetic what if all the things he has done to himself over the years has caused his current medical problems? [zukepr]
thats what i was thinking.. that what ever chemicals he has done to lighten his skin (if he doesnt have whatever he claims over that) that maybe that seeped into his skin and some how developed problems.. or that chamber he had that he would go into to help him live longer or whatever messed up his lungs.. that would be really messed up if his chamber to help him live longer kills him at a young age [moonlitmagikchild]
I Have never been a great fan of Michael Jackson. But i feel extremely sorry for him.From where to where! a person who was idolized at one time by the entire world has become an object of pity and no one seems to care.No doubt he has made some mistakes, but isn't he human like everybody else? I don't know if he would go to such great length to gain publicity. [kiran8]
yeah i have never really liked him but i do feel bad that what ever happened to him growing up messed him up so bad that he went nutty.. if the stories of his childhood are true no one deserves that [moonlitmagikchild]
Well,you are right.Michael jackson is loosing his health day by day.He is suffering fom skin problem.After so much plastic surgery i think he is suffering from health problem.Wish that he gets well soon. [rishab0009]
i think something like that would be all over the world in news everywhere if it was true, michael jackson is well known. [winterose]
i have no idea anymore.. i know i saw it mentioned on msnbc and some one else saw it in their turkish newspaper but some one else saw it on reuters that its a publicity thing.. [moonlitmagikchild]
i was sad sadwith that news because i really like MJ. during his Jackson5 era and thriller days.... how i wish he would get all through this.... happy [hornetlover]
He might be faking it, he needs money. I think they (performers) do this when they need attention before doing something. I read that his glove was going to be auctioned off, don't know if that already happened. I had no idea he was blind in one eye, maybe too much hair grease dripped into it in the 80's? If he can't speak, he can't sing and most likely won't be able to talk in court. I don't know where he finds the money to get people to back his lies but they sure are hysterical! He still makes for some interesting news, even if it isn't true. [oraclemv]
it would be truly sick if it is just a rumor to get his name mentioned!! yeah he needs the money but i dont know how this would help him.. i doubt people will start a charity for him lol [moonlitmagikchild]
Who cares he is nothing today millions of people die what will the world lose if he goes ? i think this response is a bit rude but it is true [Mathss]
hey at least your being honest happy [moonlitmagikchild]
I think he is ill alright....mentally. You never know about him....he's another one that will do anything for attention....I try not to buy into anything much they say about him...Anyone who would dangle a child off a balcony like he did shouldn't be allowed to even keep the kids. Anyway...just another outcry for attention...and if it isn't I am sure part of it is something he's done to himself....like all those surgeries? He doesn't even look human anymore. [jillhill]
lol yeah did you see that fake article about michael jackson being dead and the michael we know being some kind of clone and that that is why he is weird etc thing that was on the onion forever ago?? it was hillarious because some one that brought it to my attention really thought it was real.. even when they supposively found the body of the REAL michael lmao!! lol you made me remember the croc hunter dangling his son over the crocodile.. maybe its just a celeb thing to dangle your kids over dangerous things/places [moonlitmagikchild]
oh my. thats sad. i sure hope its just publicity, but he has been looking worse and worse. being in the spotlight so young and all, he's never really had a chance to mature and have a normal life. [bunnybon7]
he never stood a chance in having a normal life with him being born into that family and finding fame so young under the harsh guidance of his dad.. cry [moonlitmagikchild]
Moonlit..its getting to the point now that we can't believe anything anymore and i don't think thats fair for us to think he's dying and then find out it maybe a hoax..sadly some people are still sticking by him no matter what he does and they are the ones that will suffer.. huggs [Rosekitty]
seems like time will only tell on this one which is sad.. it would be beyond cruel for some one to make up something like this to get him attention etc but its so sad because you just never know.. [moonlitmagikchild]
I heard that he was not doing well, OMG I did not know that he was that bad off. When I first heard it I thought it was also a publicity stunt, but maybe it is serious. [agrant10]
i dont know because some places are saying his people are denying it but then other places are the ones that talked about it and they are credible so im confused on what the heck is the truth [moonlitmagikchild]
Why would it be a publicity stunt. After disfiguring his body for centuries don't you think that it come caught up with him. As to his children the Jackson family is quiet a close knit one so I wouldn't worry about them. [kerriannc]
yeah but have you read about how he grew up? his father was psycho abusive.. i dont know much about his siblings but janets having health probs and i think michaels mom is close to the kids (as much as possible from what i have heard which who knows how much that is) and so she would prob fight to get them and i think his parents are still together.. which means his dad would be helping raise them which he is just a money hungry evil physically and mentally abusive person that would prob try to get them to act or sing or something so he could make money off a new generation or something [moonlitmagikchild]
i was stunned with this new development of his health ..im not really a fan of him but have heard so much of his latest scandals and everything..i just wish him good luck and have peace on his heart..for nobody's perfect and lets give him another chance to repent and start a new life... [vanities]
i feel bad for him considering how he grew up and how messed up he is sad [moonlitmagikchild]
I also heard that if the lung transplant is not done immediately, his life might be in danger. Sad to know the kind of mess he has created with his life, a talented wasted lately.. [msbawangada]
he hasnt looked well is so long i wonder if its not already too late sad [moonlitmagikchild]
I really don't know if this is true. Well, I hope that it is not. He has been to a lot of troubles lately. Too bad, considering that he was very famous and was idolized by many.happy [jpso138]
seems like where ever you look you get some saying its false and some saying its not so i think we are gonna have to wait and see and hope for the best sad [moonlitmagikchild]
Honestly that guy need serius help all that money and fame must have done something to his brain. I used to be crazy about him when I was a child then he wasnt cool after I was like 12. They come up with all this things for him and ok some might be fabricated by the press but most are by his team but lets face it he would never have a come back and be as famous (for his music that is) again. And yes this one was not true and he was "angry" about it. [violeta_va]
yeah he will never be what he used to be unfortunately..he has had too much bad luck with media and he is just out of practice it seems.. [moonlitmagikchild]
It's very hard to say what is true with Jackson. I find it is a crying shame, whether this is true or not, that so much talent has just wasted away. If he had had a strong parent-figure or mentor, all his woes could have been so avoided.. Derek [derek_a]
He appeared frail in the last tv news footage. I really pity him. I don't think it is a publicity stunt but you never know with these pop stars. They do everything to get in the limelight. [ronaldinu]
he hasnt looked well in a long time.. its sad.. my parents are in their 60s and 70s and make him look a 100 years old [moonlitmagikchild]
Hai! you are very right. Yesterday I read all these in our newspaper. Medical science has developed a lot but physical condition of Michael Jackson is gradually deteriorated. He has been suffering from a good number of diseases. We hope that the US Govt and his fans will take appropriate measures to cure his diseases as soon as possible. [aminul8427]
Wow. i had no idea either. that sucks for him though. i think his kids need to be in a normal environment . [xomgitskamax]
yeah they definitely need normalcy and stability.. [moonlitmagikchild]
Oh Michael Jackson does some minor health problems. But not to the extent that he is dying. he does suffer from a disease. That is why he is white looking. Instead of black. But I don't think it will kill him. I have seen many black people who suffer from this whiteness diease. MIchael Jackson was good back in his hay day before he got weird. Not sure what made go crazy. Maybe all that money went to his head I don't know. But I wish he would keep his private life private and start belting out some more tunes. As he does have a good voice. [rusty2rusty]
He probably is sick. Wouldn't the mother automatically get the kids? I hadn't hurt anything about it. [Ruthep]
Blanket? Is that really his name? I don't remember the names but Prince is one I think? Man, if he were poor he'd be in an asylum. [Ruthep]
I think we sould help so I will help and gave him a Lung. if he writes or calls.MH [TheGiver]
I think michael should back to normal and dont make any stranger things like surgery her face and avoid people and many weird thing he do. [hanah87]
