An Albuquerque radio station jokingly reported that the King of Pop, Michael Jackson died from an overdose. Now, some people are speaking out against the radio station, saying the hoax was in bad taste

unfortunately, this story would prove to be true.

LOS ANGELES (AP) - Michael Jackson, the record-breaking,
sensationally gifted "King of Pop" who emerged from childhood
superstardom to become the entertainment world's most influential
singer and dancer, and the tabloid world's most disturbing
celebrity, has died. He was 50.

A person with knowledge of the situation says Jackson died
Thursday in a Los Angeles hospital. The person was not authorized
to speak publicly and requested anonymity.

His death brought a tragic end to a long, bizarre, sometimes
farcical decline from his peak in the 1980s, when he was popular
music's premier all-around performer, a uniter of black and white
music who shattered the race barrier on MTV, dominated the charts
and dazzled even more on stage.
