You know, I was surprised myself, even though I've been expecting him to die for years, as horrible as it sounds. He's never seemed the healthiest person to me, and those plastic surgeries only made it worse.

I've been listening to his music ever since I heard, and damn, he is good. No matter what people say about him, he has written music history and no one can change that. Also, for the first time I noticed that he has only a few albums... but all songs on them were hits. I can't think of an contemporary artist who's managed to achieve that. Nelly Furtado's crappy last album doesn't count, only a handful of the songs were good enough. ;)

It's so sad, he was only 50 years old. Gone Too Soon. :(
