Reports came that he is suffering from Alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency

He already lost 95% of sight in his left eye
Internal bleeding in his intestine

His lungs need transplant but his body is too weak and doctors are trying their best to ready him for lung transplant. They can't do anything till his body regains strength.

not from smoking. It's genetically inherited disease.

People say that it may have aggravated due to drugs that he takes (morphine etc).

btw, he is not a smoker afaik.

Really sad. He's 'just' 50. He's definitely entertained a world so much. I don't care what people think he looks like. No one can beat his dancing. Get well soon Mikaeel :)

This is "ejjactly" what I feel. He showed a way for pop. His voice, his dance were on whole new level. It is really sad that he is in such a state now.

"Michael Jackson's Thriller, the world's top-selling album of all time, is back at the top of the charts this week following a Halloween-inspired surge in sales and coast-to-coast zombie dance tributes to the album.

The Legacy Recordings' 25th Anniversary CD/DVD edition of Thriller has rocketed back into the #1 slot on the Billboard Catalog Albums chart."

That's the power of his music :)

If that is true, then I am most relieved man on earth. He should be there and he should be making few more albums.

Michael Jackson and Maradona...THE best in their respective fields, but due to bad habits very few respect them.

he is planning to change his will so that Sir Paul McCartney gets back some of the rights of the Beatles catalogue which Michael Jackson currently owns.
