Update: Very sad news today as it appears that Michael Jackson has died.
The one-time King Of Pop, Michael Jackson, is rumored to be incurably ill, and is possibly DYING. Reports are surfacing that Michael, 50, is suffering from a potentially fatal lung disease according to media reports. The actual disease is called Alpha-1 Antitrypsin Deficiency.
Ian Halperin, who authored a tell-all book on Michael, told In Touch magazine:
“He’s had it for years, but it’s gotten worse, He needs a lung transplant but may be too weak to go through with it. He also has emphysema and chronic gastrointestinal bleeding, which his doctors have had a lot of trouble stopping. It’s the bleeding that is the most problematic part. It could kill him.”
The UK’s Daily Express, says the writer says Jackson may now be fighting for his life, but is too weak to undergo surgery.The facemask was always one hint he was worried about his health. The current claim is that his lung condition has left him so weak he can barely speak, and that he is going BLIND as well. Horrific.
Jackson was acquitted 3 years ago of child molestation, but has never shaken rumors of drug or alcohol abuse. Extreme money problems have forced him out of his “Neverland”, and he still has enormous amounts of debt. In fact, illness was the reason he gave to avoid a recent court date in a big money lawsuit. Now, it looks like that excuse was legitimate. Still, he has somehow managed to rent a home in one of the most exclusive areas of L.A. for a whopping $100,000 a month. The $38 million Holmby Hils pad has seven bedrooms, 13 baths, 12 fireplaces, a screening room and, of course, a cellar for Jesus juice. For sleepovers, there’s a guest house, swimming pool and garden. The deal was done several weeks ago under a heavy-duty confidentiality agreement.
There has been no public comment on his health from Jackson’s official spokeswoman. he singer’s brother has simply said it’s not a good time, and that Jackson’s not doing so well. No matter what your opinion of Michael is, he’s become a truly tragic figure. We hope he gets well. Here’s a look at Michael in his prime…when he WAS on top.

how sick are you people to even make fun of him once as he is dying! dont you people have feelings for other human beings! you people are sick!
Er, Dan? You must have skipped the part where they said they hoped he would GET WELL. Some glasses, perhaps? Call Santa.
oh my god ! its sad to see my favorite singer inthe whole intire world be sick at a time like this,and yes i agree with dan kearney you discussing people should not make fun of him like that. because if you get sick you don’t want nobody making fun you now do you? so if you have a smart comment to say about michael jackson you would have to answer to me you dumb bitches.
Hello, i work soley with Alpha 1, this rare disease, which is very rare, but it does not cause blindness whatsoever. Also, he couldnt have had it for only ‘years’ as it is hereditary so he would have had to have had it for the whole life and more than likely someone else in his family has it as well. he would need a double lung transplant to get somewhat better but the only cure is to replace the liver which is rare to find. as it is the main source of the disease.
IS THIS TRUE THAT MICHAEL JACKSON IS DYING OF ALPHA 1 LUNG DISEASE, THEN WHY IS HE DOING A CONCERT IN LONDON FROM JULY 8 2009 TO FEB 24 2010, IF HE IN BAD HEALTH WOULD’NT THE DOCTOR STOP MICHAEL FROM DOING HIS CONCERTS AND ALSO HE BEEN OUT WITH HIS THREE CHILDEN AND SPOCKPERSON SAID IT’S A SKIN INFECTION AND IN GOOD HEALTH SO WHATS TURTH ABOUT MICHAEL HEALTH,PLEASE TELL ME HE IS’NT DYING PLEASE.
What an unbelievable loss. This is by far the biggest loss since Elvis Presley musicly and likely even that of Princess Diana. This will spur hundreds of concerts, press conferences and i’m sure we won’t hear the end of it for the next month. He gave so much to so many. It’s really a shame that the media ruined his reputation in the 90’s. He really never recovered from it. I hopes he rests in peace. We will miss you michael. I can’t think of a person who is and has been more well known globally than Michael Jackson. Just incredible that this happened.
THATS SAD THAT HE PASSED AWAY..MY HEART GOES OUT TO HIS FAMILY..BUT I KNEW IT WAS ALMOST HIS TIME TO GO BUT NOT THAT SOON..HE WAS LOOKING LIKE HIS BODY WAS TRYING SHUT DOWN ON HIM..WELL WE KNOW MICHAEL NOT SUFFERING ANYMORE HE IS RESTING IN HEAVEN..R.I.P MY ANGEL..YOU ROCKED OUR WORLD YOU KNOW YOU DID
my heart breaks for michael the person who was hounded by media since he was a child and never had a normal life or normal experiences – I honestly cannot even imagine the kind of life he lead..and really had no choice in the matter..and he really was a true musical genius..I wish he could have toured..but most of all I cry for the pain he has had to endure his entire life..the ridicule – this was a man who loved children and helping people and just wanted some peace..I love you michael – I know you are in heaven and I will see you there someday – I feel like I lost a friend or a family member – I cannot stop crying
