A close friend of Michael Jackson has revealed that the pop star had premonition that he would be murdered just before he died.
King of Pop, Michael Jackson
It has been revealed that the King of Pop, Michael Jackson
predicted he would be murdered in handwritten notes he gave to a friend
weeks before his death of a drugs overdose in 2009.
According to Dailymail,
the letters will bolster the belief of many, including Jackson's
daughter Paris and sister La Toya, that the King of Pop was unlawfully
killed.
In the 13 messages he declared: 'They are trying to murder me' and 'I am scared about my life.'
Their existence has been revealed for the first time by German
businessman Michael Jacobshagen, 34 – who maintained a two-decade-long
friendship with the star – in an interview with broadcaster Daphne Barak
for Australian TV show Sunday Night.
Jacobshagen tells Barak how a tearful Jackson called him from a Las
Vegas hideaway. The star was preparing for a tour at London's O2 but
begged his friend to fly from Germany to the US to be with him.
'He was in emotional meltdown saying, 'They are going to murder me,' ' Jacobshagen
recalled. After he flew out and spent three days with the troubled
star, Jackson handed Jacobshagen the notes. Jacobshagen said that the
notes kept telling him 'they' were trying to murder Jackson.
The singer never clarified who 'they' were but some notes refer to
concert promoters AEG, which was organising concerts in London that he
was shortly due to perform.
One said: 'AEG. Make so much pressure to me… I'm scared about my life.'
The Thriller singer was found dead just weeks later. The official
cause of death was an overdose of the sedative propofol. His personal
doctor Conrad Murray served two years of a four-year jail sentence after
being found guilty of involuntary manslaughter for administering a
lethal dose of the drug.
But Jacobshagen claims Jackson had been using propofol for more than a decade to treat his insomnia.
He says he has gone public with the notes now to support Jackson's
daughter Paris, 19, who recently claimed her father was murdered.
The interview will be broadcast next month in Australia, the US and
other markets to coincide with the anniversary's of the star's death.
