No proper news network has confirmed it yet.

Most of the sites are taking TMZ as their source...

CNN (tv) just said that family are still en route to the hospital, his dad coming from Las Vegas. It could be that they're holding off on an official announcement till they all get there. Hopefully not...

 

[Sicy]

So is this going to go back to B&C yet?

No.

This will probably be one of the busiest days in internet history.

I got a "server too busy" error when I tried to check the story on msn.com

 

[deep]

So is this going to go back to B&C yet? .

not really

he was more than just a recording artist

he kind of dominated the Entertainment Industry for quite some time.

No.

thanks

Look, I know TMZ are frontrunners and all, but you have to think they have people closest to the situation since they assign like eight guys to every celebrity in the world. And they've broke stories before.

I wouldn't doubt it just because you think the paparazzi are so awful.

No.

Man, this day really does just keep getting worse.

 

[RedRocksU2]

On the live feed from CNN, you can see the news cameras gathering around a microphone outside the hospital. Possibly for the announcement.

This will probably be one of the busiest days in internet history.

BBC reports that worldwide traffic to BBC News is 60% above normal
