Michael Jackson Fans Are Killing Themselves in Grief

on Jun. 30, 2009 12:00 PM / 53 Comments

Some of Michael Jackson's fans are taking their devotion way too far.

Sky News quotes Gary Taylor, owner of Jackson fan mega-site MMJCommunity.com, as saying that as many as a dozen MJ fans have killed themselves in grief since the music giant's untimely death last Thursday at the age of 50.

"I know there has been an increase, I now believe the figure is 12," Taylor estimates. "It is a serious situation that these people are going through but Michael Jackson would never want this. He would want them to live."

In light of this growing epidemic, Rev. Jesse Jackson has released a video on YouTube urging Jackson's fans not to "self-destruct."

"This is a time when hearts are heavy. There is great pain but great cause to celebrate Michael's life," Jackson—no relation to the deceased singer—says. "It made Michael happy saying 'We Are The World'. Don't self destruct."

Check out the video below:

You heard the man, people. Don't do anything rash.

    When people think of Michael Jackson, they don't think of child molestation!!!! They think of the KING OF POP, AN ICON, A LEGEND....this world is F*^CKED UP, but I think most of us have re flected on the positive aspects of Michael's life, not the media ba ttered and horrible accusations of the negative aspect. What he did w th his time on this earth will ne ver be matched, if it is possible t be larger than life, Michael Ja ckson was. EVERY STRAND OF DNA IN H S ENTIRE BODY HAD TALENT IN IT!!!

    If people are killing themselves b/c Jackson died we're probably better off as a species without these retards anyway, it'll be an improvement to the gene pool. I don't think we're losing any cancer researchers or astrophysicists here.

    dude.. completely agreed.. If you're that dumb to end your life over a pop singer dying then i agree, the world is probably better off without you. It is sad that he died but on the other hand, he's been a freak for awhile. The last cool thing he did was come out with the Black and White album and the CD's before those. He was the laughingstock of a lot of people for quite a long time. "don't you climb trees?" come the f*ck on. all in all, Completely talented but made a disgrace of himself over the past 10+ years!!

    Sooo, what you're trying to say is that you're pro child molestation? Got it. 


    WOW!!! REALLY? The man is dead for goodness sake, can you not have a little respect? Have some respect to an Icon, a legend.......keep your comments to yourself if you can't respect the dead!
