For me, all deaths are sad. Michael Jackson was known by billions of people. Everyone of those people heard his songs in a personal context, voluntarily bought his albums making him a big star and get him to enjoy a rich man´s life which unfortunately had certain mistakes, omissions or sins in it just like everyone of us.
It is easy to give a brief account of someone´s life. Among many gifted musicians of his genre he stood out and remained that way for a long while. Although his songs no longer appeal to me, I appreciate his vocal technique and energy. It is not easy to be like Michael Jackson, people who were a lot more talented than us tried their chance but they could not clinch their names in the history of pop music as successfully as he did.
Not just Michael Jackson, everyone deserves to be felt sorry about when he is dead. The loss of a man is the loss of the entire universe from a dead man´s point of view.
Couldn´t agree more.  His success made him an insane, stupid, self-centered person. He chose to spend his fortune on getting more freaky instead of helping others. There are people in the world whose deaths are truly sad - like the Palestinian families massacred by the Israelis, but we do not mourn those, instead we mourn a freak who had a life of privilage (for the most part!) and died in the comfort of his home at the age of 50!!

I also feel sad for Farrah Fawcett, clearly this was not her doing. When you look at people like Jimmy Hendrix, Jim Morrison, Elvis Presley, Anna Nicole Smith, Michael Jackson and others who contribute to their own death I think the sympathy is a little different, than someone who like Farrah Fawcett had no control over her destiny. However, it´s still sad to see someone that had an impact on you, musically or personally destory their life and ultimately die because of it.
The saddest part for all of these icons are the people around them who enabled them. Clearly Michael Jackson was not in his right mind and the people around him continued to feed him drugs, instead of getting him the help he needed. Same thing that happened to Elivs Presley and Anna Nicole Smith.

I don´t think that she is as AWOL as she seems! I would bet money that she is in her stealth burka 90% of the time!
