Devastated Madonna ‘can’t stop crying’ over Michael Jackson’s death

WASHINGTON - Madonna is struggling to cope with the death of King of Pop Michael Jackson.

“I can’t stop crying over the sad news,” People quoted Madonna, as saying.

“I have always admired Michael Jackson. The world has lost one of the greats, but his music will live on forever! My heart goes out to his three children and other members of his family. God bless,” she added.

Lisa Marie Presley, Jackson’s ex-wife, said: “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.”

“My heart is overcome with sadness for the devastating loss of my true friend Michael,” adds Brooke Shields, who raised eyebrows when she briefly dated Jackson.

“He was an extraordinary friend, artist and contributor to the world. I join his family and his fans in celebrating his incredible life and mourning his untimely passing,” she added.

The legendary singer passed away at the age of 50 yesterday after suffering an apparent heart attack. (ANI)
