Michael Jackson - Never Can Say Goodbye [Beatnick & K-Salaam Remix]
Michael Jackson, probably the most iconic musician of our time, has died today from cardiac arrest.
After the jump, a few of Michael's close friends and others speak on the very tragic loss.
WAXX EDIT: Oh my god, this is unreal. It's currently 3:30AM in Italy where I am traveling with family, and for whatever reason I was unable to sleep. I go to turn my computer on and see this news. I'm speechless. Rest in peace.
"I am absolutely devastated at this tragic and unexpected news. For Michael to be taken away from us so suddenly at such a young age, I just don't have the words.
Divinity brought our souls together on The Wiz and allowed us to do what we were able to throughout the 80's.
To this day, the music we created together on "Off The Wall," "Thriller" and "Bad" is played in every corner of the world and the reason for that is because he had it all…talent, grace, professionalism and dedication.
He was the consummate entertainer and his contributions and legacy will be felt upon the world forever."
-Quincy Jones
"I can't stop crying over the sad news. I have always admired Michael Jackson. The world has lost one of the greats, but his music will live on forever! My heart goes out to his three children and other members of his family. God bless."
-Madonna
"Michael Jackson made culture accept a person of color. To say an 'icon' would only give these young people in Harlem a fraction of what he was. He was a historic figure that people will measure music and the industry by."
-Rev. Al Sharpton
