Although paramedics "rushed" Jackson to UCLA Medical Center and made every attempt "to resuscitate him," the pop star was "pronounced dead at 2:26 p.m. PT." He was 50 years old.
After parting ways with his brothers and their family band, The Jackson 5, Michael Jackson embarked on an impressive solo career that peaked when his 1982 album, Thriller, became the best-selling album of all time.
