Heart attack? Singer Michael Jackson is believed to have suffered a heart attack at his home this afternoon

Singer Michael Jackson is believed to have suffered a heart attack at his home in Los Angeles this afternoon.

Reports say that Jackson, 50, went into cardiac arrest and has been rushed to hospital.

He was seen being taken into an ambulance and moved to a nearby hospital, says US gossip website TMZ.

Paramedics were seen performing CPR on the singer, according to the website,

Jackson's mother was said to be at the hospital to meet her son.

It is believed a call to 911 was made from his home in Holmby Hills, LA, at 12.21pm (8.21pm).

A member of the Jackson family told TMZ that 'Michael is in really bad shape'.

An update on the website says, 'We just got off the phone with Joe Jackson, Michael's dad, who says "he is not doing well".'

The singer is due to play 50 sell-out shows at London's O2 Arena starting in July.

But the King of Pop has already had to postpone the first few nights' shows.

Organisers AEG Live said this was in order to make sure everything for the 'massive and technically complex show' was running smoothly.

But critics say ongoing concerns about Jackson's health are the real reason behind the gigs having to be postponed.

Sky News reported that TMZ said he was dead, but that LA Times said he was in a coma.

That has now changed to say LA Times is reporting they've had confirmation that he is dead.

I think its pretty much confirmed as being true. A lady talking now on Sky News says that the LA Times sets the bar for reporting in that area and they are reporting that he's dead. It seems like this happened a few hours ago but they've held back on reporting it till now.

I'm seriously shocked by this. I've just got up and, after making morning coffee I put the tv on to watch GMTV and it's all over there that he's died. My sympathy goes to his children and the rest of his family.

my mum sent me a text about it last night saying he was suspected dead, i honestly thought she was joking at first but then when i saw all over facebook and all over the news today i knew it was true, i was really shocked as id been a fan ever since my childhood and i still cant believe it!!

ive seen all those sick jokes everywhere too, i dont get why so many people think its funny to joke about someone dying

I know a lot of you are fans here so I'll not comment any further except to
say that his early music was totally amazing.

I'm sorry for the fans that spent so much money wanting to see him. I hope they are reimbursed.

I can honestly say though - If I had Tickets, I dobn't think I;d be interested in being Re -embersed.

a huge loss, i cried when i heard, and was close to tears when the radio played a tribute too. I didnt know him, but it feels like i did.

dawn · Posted: Sat Jun 27, 2009 9:45 pm Post subject:

personally i dont think i could ask for the money back... it should all go to charity

with these jokes by text and also people and friends of mine have even made jokes in their status's on facebook

for **** sake this man as been dead less than 48 hours... they have no respect for him or his family

right rant over now

i even thought about putting a tribute page on my website... u know someone actually said i was sad for doing it

I don't think that's sad Dawn, I think that would be a lovely gesture!!

i was out shopping today and i overheard a shop assistant telling one joke after another to a customer, and i thought it was really disrespectful because it was loud enough for lots of people to overhear.
