Fans hold pictures of Michael Jackson near the UCLA Medical Center in Los Angeles Thursday
Fans around the world are remembering the man who called himself the King of Pop. Michael Jackson died Thursday in Los Angeles.
This was the emergency call from the house where he was living:
CALLER: "We have a gentleman here that needs help and he"s not breathing. He"s not breathing and we"re trying to pump him but he"s not -- "
OPERATOR: "OK, OK. How old is he?"
CALLER: "He"s fifty years old, sir."
OPERATOR: "Fifty, OK."
A personal doctor was with him at the house.
Michael Jackson would have celebrated his fifty-first birthday in August. He was just days from launching what he hoped would be a comeback -- a series of fifty concerts in London.
More than seven hundred fifty thousand tickets sold out within hours of going on sale in March. The shows were set to begin July thirteenth. There were questions, though, about whether his health could handle the extended tour.
