OlderLisa Marie Presley Blog: Michael Jackson Knew He Would Die Like This
Lisa Marie Presley, who was married to Michael Jackson in the mid-1990s, has take to her MySpace to unload some thoughts about the King of Pop’s death. Apparently “he knew.”
Check out LMP’s interesting blog entry inside…
Lisa Marie Presley: Michael Jackson Knew…
He Knew.
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 Fathers 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.”
I promptly tried to deter him from the idea, at which point he just shrugged his shoulders and nodded almost matter of fact as if to let me know, he knew what he knew and that was kind of that.
14 years later I am sitting here watching on the news an ambulance leaves the driveway of his home, the big gates, the crowds outside the gates, the coverage, the crowds outside the hospital, the Cause of death and what may have led up to it and the memory of this conversation hit me, as did the unstoppable tears.
A predicted ending by him, by loved ones and by me, but what I didn’t predict was how much it was going to hurt when it finally happened.
The person I failed to help is being transferred right now to the LA County Coroners office for his Autopsy.
All of my indifference and detachment that I worked so hard to achieve over the years has just gone into the bowels of hell and right now I am gutted.
I am going to say now what I have never said before because I want the truth out there for once.
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.
I wanted to “save him” I wanted to save him from the inevitable which is what has just happened.
His family and his loved ones also wanted to save him from this as well but didn’t know how and this was 14 years ago. We all worried that this would be the outcome then.
At that time, In trying to save him, I almost lost myself.
He was an incredibly dynamic force and power that was not to be underestimated.
When he used it for something good, It was the best and when he used it for something bad, It was really, REALLY bad.
Mediocrity was not a concept that would even for a second enter Michael Jackson’s being or actions.
I became very ill and emotionally/ spiritually exhausted in my quest to save him from certain self-destructive behavior and from the awful vampires and leeches he would always manage to magnetize around him.
I was in over my head while trying.
I had my children to care for, I had to make a decision.
The hardest decision I have ever had to make, which was to walk away and let his fate have him, even though I desperately loved him and tried to stop or reverse it somehow.
After the Divorce, I spent a few years obsessing about him and what I could have done different, in regret.
Then I spent some angry years at the whole situation.
At some point, I truly became Indifferent, until now.
As I sit here overwhelmed with sadness, reflection and confusion at what was my biggest failure to date, watching on the news almost play by play The exact Scenario I saw happen on August 16th, 1977 happening again right now with Michael (A sight I never wanted to see again) just as he predicted, I am truly, truly gutted.
Any ill experience or words I have felt towards him in the past has just died inside of me along with him.
He was an amazing person and I am lucky to have gotten as close to him as I did and to have had the many experiences and years that we had together.
I desperately hope that he can be relieved from his pain, pressure and turmoil now.
He deserves to be free from all of that and I hope he is in a better place or will be.
I also hope that anyone else who feels they have failed to help him can be set free because he hopefully finally is.
The World is in shock but somehow he knew exactly how his fate would be played out some day more than anyone else knew, and he was right.
I really needed to say this right now, thanks for listening.

LMP and MJ would of been a wonderful pairing. Michael was a sensitive soul and will be greatly missed. Sigh.
lisa wasnt so bad back then
honestly before his death i didnt even no he was married
sad. i can’t stop crying.My eyes are so red from all the tears. I’ve been crying ever since the news broke, non stop,never have i cried so much over someone i don’t even know. And i wasn’t his biggest fan either.
I think he was misunderstood, and naive, so people took advantage of him. He looked like all he needed was a big hug, i would have gladly gave him one.
RIP THE KING OF POP
Lisa may God Bless you for having the heart to attempt such a unworldly strong task. It is us ourselves who must want to be saved (as in anything) in order to recieve it. Its the fate of a woman to take the responsiblity of the world onto ourselves. Its hard to do the right thing sometimes and once we do them it may not feel right . You are but one person and for someone as powerful as MJ, I think it would have taken a whole army to convience him to save himself. As a mother and one who has lost a child involved in music. I look back and saw him and wonder 24/7 with that and many calls coming in all day , saw him trying to help is friends and people around him , saw him hardly ever sleeping , I look back now and I think wow , they way these people go on and on …doing good deeds along the way …it almost seems like they come here to do their best and its grand and somewhere its decided it time to rest . Lisa if you don’t get anything out of this ,know that people who don’t live it , never walked in yours or MJ feet will never know and be content with your choice ….I’,m sure it took a lot of love to stay as long as you did…Its very hard to watch badness around someone you love ….Lets give MJ the respect that he was of wisdom to decide what he wanted for himselft….and not pretend that he was so weak that someone else made his decission….To the Jackson Family I look at all my child did, before 27 and am so proud…perhaps MJ’s accomplishments will give you much pleassure when the lost of his earthly flesh is replaced with thoughts of his spirit surrounding you …..God Bless
I like Michael Jackson a lot.. but I am so sad when I heard of so many scandals that involved him with young boys, .
He seemed not to be happy with how he looks and so started doing a lot of physical changes too….He doesn’t know that people around the world love and admire him because of his talent and not on how he looks….he is one of the greatest performers after Elvis P…
I hope that Michael will be happy now at at peace wherever he is now…
Lisa, the first time I saw your father was in 1959 at the Fox Theatre in Atlanta where he was performing. However, I didn’t meet him there. My sister (who was older–12–at the time) found his dressing room window in an alley. She hopped on a trash can–and there he was! He came to the window and gave her a kiss. She, who was 12, going on 20, had to raise her arms to give him that kiss. In the meantime, her padded strapless bra (her first) fell down around her waist. I was 9. I will never forget her day–when she came of age. She never stopped adoring him.
You couldn’t help Michael, Lisa. Having tried is a huge accomlishment.
Lisa Marie, 1st I am sorry for your loss on yesterday of one you loved & we as the world were able to experience so many years. thank you so much for your honesty and realness about your feelings for Michael. thank you for sharing how indifference can fade even when we use it to protect us. Sincerely & with deep sympathy, Cipytweet
Wow!!! That was truely from Lisa’s Heart. It is a real shock now for us with The King of Pop passing away… Just Like when The King of Rock & Roll passed away. What is really sad is that these two awesome talented men had to leave us with so much pain & lonelyness in there hearts… Yet the words they sang brought so much JOY to the people who loved them. They laid there lives down for us.
Thank You Michael for the love & tenderness in your songs.
We are truly at a great loss because just like Elvis we where only blessed with half of what you still had to give.
Both of you had such a God given talent.
We love you!!!
Our Prayers go out to you children (those miracle of love) & your family.
RIP - Michael Jackson our KING of POP!!!!
so sad i’m glad she said this
Dear Lisa, you seem like such a sweet and understanding person, and you have strenghth and courage to tell the truth! I to, have been in a trying to save position. It does not work. You cannot be responsible for ayone else or their feelings. I recall even your mom was put nder much scrutiny frm fans and press being hailed as partly her fault for leaving your father, I dont know if you realized that! Poor lady. Its difficult if you do, difficult if you dont. I allways felt that Michael was a person of such great depth, and so very genuine. He seemd to me, so very gentle in spiri, and so fragile and childlike. I feel lke hes almost too fragile for this world so full of the unkind and vultures. I think he had a great deal to offer to the world! i wish you peace and harmoy!
Englishman Mark Lester is the sperm donor for the first two MJ children. He is the children’s God-Father and a former child actor and who stared in MJ’s favorite movie of all time,” Oliver”. The children really do resemble him as a child.
He believed in God.
I simply don’t get all of this. You would think Queen Elizabeth or our President died! I can appreciate a certain amount of coverage, but this is way over the top…IMO.
You have to listen to this tribute song by this new rapper Iceis. Link below.

I remember the sound of Thriller starting on my TV would wake me out of a dead sleep when I was very young. I would stand on top of our coffee table and attempt to mimick the moves that made Michael Jackson the King of Pop. After 25 years, I still can’t do any of them. Word of his death left me with a sadness that I have experienced only once in my life; John Candy’s death 2 days befor my 12 th birthday. My deepest prayers go out to the entire Jackson family. His 3 children; Prince I, Paris, and Prince II (?) and Lisa Marie Presley. God Bless — RAS
Michael we will all miss you !!!!! you will be always in our hearts !!!!! R.I.P M.J
whatever, lisa.
RIP, michael. you will always be remembered. lots of love.
As Elvis , Michael was a genius. And a Genius can not be understand. R.I.P Michael Jackson. May Lord bring you next to your idol, Elvis Presley.
hi lisa, sorry for your loss,he is no doubt in my mind at peace now,with god,a loving god ,who forgives very easily our sins on this earth,im not a religous freak,i just ,like you have a lot of life experience behind me, and hopefully ahead of me,. have a peacefullife paul
Noone of you folks can imagine what Lisa went through emotionally to see the same pictures twice,loosing her Dad so soon in her life,and now a friend and Ex husband the exact same Way.Could you Jacko Fan´s please stop cheating on a woman who is suffering the same Way , going through memorys which for sure are not easy to take, and was over a period to time closer to Michael as you all were?In the Name of Love stop arguing and better pay respect for a Lady, who is a also a “mother”who just wanted to protect her little ones.Lisa shared the same expieriences with her Mum.She also wanted to save Elvis Life and surrendered as she noticed, that you can´t help anybody who denies help.Elvis and Michael are now together and surely will have good times in Heaven.Both Icons of Music, both bigger than life, both Legends, both died young of age, that´s what makes Legends.Lisa thanks for sharing your memorys with us.God bless you and all of your Kids.I feel with u all Folks.R:I:P Jacko and ELVIS
Death is a time for reflection and people are always reminded how life and love is so precious.
But people don’t change over night.
We are all shook up by this and hopefully people will change for the better and try to make the most of their lives - rather than being part of the media circus and mass mourning.
My thoughts and prayers go out to those that actually knew him and that had the privilege to share moments with such a prodigy and exceptional man.

Lisa, I am one of the biggest fans of you, your father, and Michael Jackson. I was only 6 years old when your father passed, and I will never forget that day, watching the news, over and over and over…crying and crying as if he was a part of me. And at only 6 years old. That day I will never forget, and never wanted to see anything like it again. Now we sit and watch the same thing happen to Michael. I am deeply saddened. And my heart goes out to you and to his family. Always know that you did the best that you could, and never have any regrets for any of it. You are truly one amazing woman!
My tears, that I shed, I shed with you, as I love you, and it sucks that this is the only way I can talk to you, as I would give anything to be able to sit with you and be a true friend. Many hugs I’m sending to you, and may the good memories that you have, get you through this hard time in your life.
Much love always,
Trina
My heart goes out to Lisa Marie and all of the Jackson family as well as my prayers. I was a huge Elvis fan since I was a small child and am only a few years older than Michael. When I saw the news it reminded me of the day Elvis died and no one should have to lose someone they care for in that way and to have it happen twice in their lifetime seems so unfair!!! None of us is perfect and we all do and say things over our lifetime that we later regret. Fortunately for most of us the public doesn’t get to comment on our faults and failures and judge our every word. Everything both Michael and Lisa Marie have said and done has been judged by the rest of us. I agree with the previous comments regarding the cost of fame and I am grateful to be unknown.
Thank you for sharing that Lisa. I have loved Michael since I was a child and amongst all this negativity and the speculation, it’s so wonderful to just hear something about MJ the person from someone who knew him intimately.
The world is an emptier place now that we all have lost him
