Quotes about the death of Michael Jackson

By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

LOS ANGELES -- Comments on the death of Michael Jackson on Thursday:

"I am so very sad and confused with every emotion possible. I am heartbroken
for his children who I know were everything to him and for his family. This
is such a massive loss on so many levels, words fail me." - Lisa Marie
Presley, former wife of Michael Jackson and daughter of Elvis Presley.

---

"I must confess I am not surprised by today's tragic news. Michael has been
on an impossibly difficult and often self-destructive journey for years. His
talent was unquestionable but so too was his discomfort with the norms of
the world. A human simply cannot withstand this level of prolonged stress."
- Michael Leaven, a publicist who represented Jackson when the singer was
accused of molesting a child in 1993.

---

"I knew Michael as a child and watched him grow over the years. Of all the
thousands of entertainers I have worked with, Michael was THE most
outstanding. Many have tried and will try to copy him, but his talent will
never be matched." - Dick Clark, host of the old "American Bandstand."

---

"Michael Jackson was my generation's most iconic cultural hero. Courageous,
unique and incredibly talented. He'll be missed greatly." - Russell Simmons,
hip-hop entrepreneur and founder of Def-Jam Records.

---

"We have lost an icon in our industry and my heartfelt condolences go out to
his family and children in this hour of sorrow that they are now going
through. He will live on in my memory and most definitely through the music
he shared with so many." - Dionne Warwick, singer and Jackson's friend.

---

"Michael was a pop phenomenon who never stopped pushing the envelope of
creativity. Though there were serious questions about his personal life,
Michael was undoubtedly a great entertainer and his popularity spanned
generations and the globe." - California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger.

---

"He was a true musical icon whose identifiable voice, innovative dance
moves, stunning musical versatility, and sheer star power carried him from
childhood to worldwide acclaim. A 13-time Grammy recipient, Michael's career
transcends musical and cultural genres and his contributions will always
keep him in our hearts and memories." - Neil Portnow, National Academy of
Recording Arts and Sciences president.

---

"Michael Jackson was my musical God. He made me believe that all things are
possible, and through real and positive music. He can live forever! I love
Michael Jackson. God Bless him." - Wyclef Jean, rapper and former member of
the Fugees.

---

"Michael Jackson was born in Gary, Indiana, and our hearts are heavy, heavy
here. Michael Jackson was the world's greatest entertainer but more than he
was great humanitarian and a great, humble individual. The people of Gary,
our hearts are full of tears because of the loss of Michael Jackson." -
Gary, Ind., Mayor Rudy Clay.
