Michael Jackson was reported to have died tonight after suffering a heart attack at his Los Angeles home.

The Los Angeles Times reported that Jackson was not breathing when medics arrived at his home, and they performed cardiopulmonary resuscitation. He was then rushed to the UCLA Medical Centre hospital. The TMZ website later reported that he had died.

Jackson, 50, was due to start a series of comeback concerts in London on July 13 running until March 2010. The singer had been rehearsing in the Los Angeles area for the past two months.

The shows for the 50 London concerts sold out within hours of going on sale in March, and these will now be thrown seriously into doubt.
