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.

    You need to calm down, I don't know how YOU feel about MJ's reputation, but no one can deny MJ's Influence on all the top artist, producers, and choreographers today. Hell yeah he was nutty, weird, and damn sure odd and unusual. And with all that he was also the Greatest entertainer in the world. THATS the reputation he's left with, not to mention being the first black artist to be aired on MTV, Guinness world records for most successful video, most Grammy awards, Entertainer of the Decade, most Successful Concert Series, Most number 1 hits on Billboard's 100, dude I can go on, these people killing themselves had problems way before MJ died. The press is gonna say what they want, and so will everyone else. Thats no excuse to go jumping off of buildings, MJ is not God, life will MOVE...ON... 


    He is a rusty fag duh! People dont understand he was LOVED I MEAN LOVED more than anybody could ever be loved by millions its like their parent died it hurts and the fact the world wasnt ready for such perfection they still choose to judge him and treat him like sh*t as if hes not dead.
