Todo sobre Michael Jackson

Canales de noticias como CNN tampoco han confirmado la noticia. El ícono del pop, de 50 años de edad, fue internado pasado el mediodía en una clínica en Los Ángeles.

Una llamada producida a las 12.26 hora local de California (19.26 GMT) alertó a los servicios médicos de la necesidad de una ambulancia en la dirección del cantante en Holmby Hills, en Los Ángeles.
Al parecer Jackson, de 50 años, recibió reanimación cardiorrespiratoria antes de trasladarlo al hospital de la Universidad de California (UCLA) por un equipo de paramédicos del cuerpo de bomberos.
El artista no respiraba cuando llegaron los servicios de urgencia, según el diario Los Angeles Times, aunque otras fuentes señalaron que el artista habría sufrido una parada cardiaca.
El padre del cantante de "Thriller", Joe Jackson, afirmó que Michael "no está bien", según recogió la web especializada en famosos TMZ, que informó, además, que la madre del artista iba camino al hospital.
Jackson, de 50 años, tenía previsto iniciar una serie de conciertos en Londres entre el 13 de julio y marzo del 2010.
Las entradas se agotaron en pocas horas cuando salieron a la venta en marzo de este año.
Jackson, quien comenzó su carrera musical hace más de cuatro décadas cuando era niño en la banda 'The Jackson 5', había vivido virtualmente recluido desde que fue exonerado en el 2005 de cargos de abuso a menores.
En los últimos años, había preocupaciones acerca de la salud de Jackson, pero los organizadores de los espectáculos en Londres, AEG Live, dijeron en marzo que el cantante había pasado un examen médico de cuatro horas y media realizado por doctores independientes.

Update | 6:11 p.m. LOS ANGELES – An unconscious Michael Jackson was rushed to UCLA Medical Center on Thursday afternoon by paramedics who performed C.P.R., according to the Los Angeles Fire Department.
Early reports indicated cardiac arrest, but a hospital spokeswoman was not immediately available for comment. Mr. Jackson, 50, has been renting a mansion in the Bel Air neighborhood, a short distance from the hospital, and rehearsing for a series of 50 sold-out shows in London.
Joe Jackson told to E! News, an entertainment Web site and cable channel, that the singer’s family was scrambling to determine his condition. “I am in Las Vegas, but yes, people in Los Angeles called me and are with Michael and tell me he was taken to the hospital,” Mr. Jackson told E! News. “His mother is on her way to the hospital now to check in on him.”
Mr. Jackson is scheduled to perform in a series concerts in at the O2 arena London, beginning next month and continuing into 2010. The shows have been widely seen in the music industry as an important potential comeback for him, with the potential to earn him up to $50 million, according to some reports. But there has also been worry and speculation that Mr. Jackson, who is 50, was not physically ready for such an arduous run of concerts, and Mr. Jackson’s postponement of the first of those shows from July 8 to July 12 fueled new rounds of gossip about his health.
A member of the pop group the Jackson 5 as a child, Mr. Jackson was a pint-size musical dynamo. He spent years in talent shows and performing in seedy Midwestern clubs under the aegis of Joe Jackson, his dictatorial and ambitious father. Joe Jackson and Berry Gordy, the founder of Motown Records, were the singer’s twin mentors during the early career.
Mr. Jackson eventually broke with his father and the Jackson 5, a move toward creative and financial independence marked by his collaborations with Quincy Jones on a trio of albums. The most memorable of those is 1982’s “Thriller,” which eventually racked up sales of 51 million copies globally, according to the Guinness World Records, making it the best-selling album in history.
A spokesman for the Los Angeles Fire Department told CNN said rescuers were called to Mr. Jackson’s home at 12:21 p.m. Pacific. “When paramedics went on the scene, they treated the patient, then they immediately transported the patient to UCLA,” the spokesman told CNN. Mr. Jackson’s home is located only a few minutes from the hospital center.
Just before 3 p.m. Pacific, the Los Angeles Times reported that Mr. Jackson “is in a coma.” The newspaper attributed the news to one law enforcement source.
