(06-25) 15:54 PDT DAY: Thursday — Michael Jackson, the troubled recording artist who covered himself in sequins and appointed himself “King of Pop,” died in Los Angeles today. He was 50. The cause was cardiac arrest, according law enforcement sources.

According to wire reports, the singer was unresponsive when paramedics arrived at the Bel Air home he was renting while rehearsing for a series of 50 sold-out shows at London’s O2 Arena beginning next month and continuing into 2010.

The concerts, financed by a pair of billionaires, were planned as a way of reviving his career. Those close to the singer hoped it would serve as a trial run for a lengthy world tour, new album, Michael Jackson museum and Las Vegas stage show, according to news reports.

Jackson, however, had publicly protested that he was not physically ready for shows, which sold out almost instantly. The opening dates had already been pushed back.
