Jackson died on Thursday at UCLA Medical Center after being stricken at his rented home in Holmby Hills. Paramedics tried to resuscitate him at his home for nearly three-quarters of an hour, then rushed him to the hospital, where doctors continued to work on him

``The world just lost the biggest pop star in history, no matter how you cut it,'' Werde said. ``He's literally the king of pop.''
