King of Pop Michael Jackson dies at 50 < 英文翻譯練習 >
Pop star Michael Jackson has died in Los Angeles at the age of 50.
Doctors were called to Jackson's house on Thursday lunch time in America after he stopped breathing.
The singer was taken to hospital, where doctors spent more than an hour trying to get him breathing again, but were unable to.
Jackson, who had a history of health problems, had been due to start a series of comeback concerts in London on 13 July.
Jackson's brother, Jermaine, later said the star was believed to have suffered a cardiac arrest, which is like a heart attack.
Speaking for Jackson's family Jermaine, said: "The family request that the media please respect our privacy during this tough time.
"And Allah be with you Michael always. I love you."
Often called the King of Pop, Jackson will be remembered as one of the greatest entertainers of all time, having sold more than 250 million albums around the world.
One of those, Thriller, is still the biggest-selling album ever, selling 61 million copies. That's almost one copy for every single person living in the UK.
Three children
But Jackson will also be remembered for living an unusual life as he got older, often wearing masks when appeared in public.
He has three children, Michael Joseph Jackson Jr, 12, Paris Michael Katherine Jackson, 11, and six-year-old Prince Michael Jackson II.
In 2003 Jackson was arrested for hurting a 14-year-boy, but after a trial lasting five months, he was found not guilty.
Jackson had been scheduled to start a massive series of 50 concerts in London on 13 July, with all 750,000 tickets already sold. Fans with tickets will get their cash refunded.
流行音樂的巨星麥可傑克森於洛杉磯去世,享年50歲。
在美國星期四的午餐時間,當傑克森停止呼吸之後,醫生被叫去傑克森的家裡救命。
這位歌手被送往醫院,在醫院,醫生們花了一個多小時,盡其所能的想要讓傑克森恢復呼吸,最後卻都徒勞無功。
長年被健康問題所苦的傑克森,今年的七月十三號就要在倫敦舉辦他的第一場復出巡迴演唱會。
傑克森的哥哥Jermaine稍後發表言論說,弟弟的死因是因為遭受了心搏停止,就像是心臟病發作一樣。
Jermaine也要求 : 在這段艱困的時間,各位媒體請尊重我們家庭的隱私。阿拉將永遠與麥可同在。我愛你。
流行音樂之王,麥可傑克森,專輯在全世界的銷售量超過了兩億五千萬張,他永遠永遠都會是最偉大的藝人。
除此之外," 顫慄 " 也是史上最熱賣的專輯,總共銷售了六千一百萬張。幾乎就是每個英國居民人手一張的情形。
三個孩子
但是大家也都知道傑克森變老之後,有著怪異的行徑,他常常在公開活動的場合帶著面具出現。
麥可死後留下了三個孩子,十二歲的Michael Joseph Jackson Jr,十一歲的Paris Michael Katherine Jackson,還有一個才六歲大的Prince Michael Jackson二世。
在2003年,傑克森因為猥褻一個十四歲的少年而被逮捕。但在經過了至少五個月的審訊之後,最後還是無罪釋放了。
傑克森本來計畫在今年的七月十三號,要在倫敦舉辦他五十場中第一場的復出歌壇大型演唱會,一共七十五萬張票都已經銷售一空。而現在,這些已經買好票的粉絲們只好拿著票去退錢了。
