Lisa Marie Presley: Revealed Jackson's fear of dying like Elvis
Michael Jackson's ex wife revealed some secrets of Michael Jackson. She said that the Pop king feared dying young like her "King of Rock 'N' Roll" father Elvis.
In a blog, Lisa Marie, who was married to Jackson for just 2 years between 1994 and 1996, said that her ex-husband had once confided of his fear of dying suddenly.
Presley wrote, "Years ago Michael and I were having a deep conversation about life in general." "I can't recall the exact subject matter but he may have been questioning me about the circumstances of my Father's Death. At some point he paused, he stared at me very intensely and he stated with an almost calm certainty, 'I am afraid that I am going to end up like him, the way he did.'"
Jackson's sudden death on Thursday from an apparent cardiac arrest triggered an outpouring of grief that has evoked comparisons with the 1977 death of Elvis at the age of forty two.
Presley also used her blog to hit out at the constant swirl of rumor and speculation surrounding her marriage to Jackson, which according to some critics derided as a public relations stunt designed to burnish the star's image after 1993 allegations of child abuse.
Presley said, "I am going to say now what I have never said before because I want the truth out there for once,"
She further wrote, "Our relationship was not 'a sham' as is being reported in the press. It was an unusual relationship yes, where two unusual people who did not live or know a 'Normal life' found a connection, perhaps with some suspect timing on his part. Nonetheless, I do believe he loved me as much as he could love anyone and I loved him very much."
She added, "I wanted to 'save him' I wanted to save him from the inevitable which is what has just happened." |
