Oh this is ridiculous. Why a press conference, what more is there to know?
He's been a very influential person for many people. He's a music legend.

News have always covered big stories like this in the past, such as the death of Elvis and assasination of Lennon.
Its funny how the rose tinted glasses come out when someone has died. He has been nothing and nowhere these last 10 years, quite a laughing stock too and not to mention the trial ... at least Elvis and Lennon died with a good reputation in tact.

Music legend? Probably. Good person? No. Deserving of all this attention? No.
What has being a good person or not got to do with it?

Okay, he has hardly done anything in the last 10 years.

But he was in the media spotlight more this year due to his tour. And he was a music giant. A great. The one musician to have sold the most number of records in our generation. An inspiration to many, with fans going into millions.

No one is saying he is a saint. No one is saying his reputation is in tact.

But he has unfortunately passed away, and many people will mourn, and it will be the talking point of the world for the next few days, and therefore the media are covering it so extensively everywhere around the world.
I suppose its your prerogative if you find the death of a paedophile sad.
Was he actually a paedophile?
I thought he wasn't found guilty in 2005?

Zac the jury is still out. I personally think he was and money talks volumes. Most celebrities get away with things, even the smaller ones. That trial had imo already concluded before it had even started.

Aaah I see, thanks. I didn't know much about this whole 'peadophile' thing.

He did pay off loads of his alleged victims which is quite worrying.

Dunno though, he's still dead

Never said I was, I just think the whole thing has been blown out of proportion tbh and being made into a much bigger story than it is. Just because he was found innocent doesn't mean he didn't do it.

Maybe. But there's a time and a place. It's about respecting others feelings. Not your own.

Tom you've made your point perfectly clear, to keep re-asserting it is just disrespectful and unnecessary - it's clear that there are a lot of users upset by the news and as such will make exaggerated (angry) responses at you if you carry on like that.

Maybe if there weren't such angry responses which are completely unnecessary anyway I wouldn't keep posting. I'm not even reasserting a point anyway (well not in this thread anyway) I'm just responding to those who are being very OTT and melodramatic about the whole thing.

I've deleted a few posts here, we don't want it taken over by an argument.

So sad to hear, the greatest has died, I didn't like his personal life but everybody has to agree he was one of if not the best musician/singer/dancer of the past 50 years. Couldn't believe it when I found out, nearly in tears. Long live the King.
