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.

I don’t want to judge. I just want to say that I don’t understand the need to share once grief with all the world two days after the tragedy happened…
I would give more thought to it, I would talk to friends… I don’t know
But maybe that’s how you work when you live your life in “celebrities” world
They Had Happy times…any picture I have seen of them together they were smiling…to me–it looked like he was happiest when he was with her…
lisa, why didn’t you have michaels children. if the love was so great……
Lisa, that was so incredibly beautiful… you really should be patient.. :)
Love to you Lisa. I am sorry for your loss. A person can not stop someone else’s fate. Try to find your peace in this life with your family and true friends. You deserve it.
Lisa’s comments were very moving.At the time of the divorce she was probably very emotional and you say things you don’t really mean.Imagine being the daughter of Elvis,growing up the way she did and then being married to the king of pop,talented or not with all his quirks,trying to raise her children and keep some sense of ‘normalcy’ in all their lives.Top that with her fathers death from prescription drugs and michaels well known use of painkillers.Her comments were real and heartfelt unlike Sharptons lets jump on the michael bandwagon.The whole situation is unbelievably sad and frustrating.They’re will never be another force that strong in music/dance/videos again.
Reading this I had to pause and hold back tears. wow this was a gorgeous piece to read.
KINDLY EXPLAIN ??? WHAT IS YOUR POINT? AND WHAT HAVE YOU CONTRIBUTED TO THE WORLD? NONE OF US ARE PERFECT. IF YOU REMEMBER THE ONLY PERFECT PERSON I KNOW OF DIED ON THE CROSS FOR US. WHY CAN’T WE JUST ADMIT THE WORLD HAS LOST A GREAT PERSON AND PRAY FOR HIS FAMILY -2/#comment-13539502″>whortensia:
I pray that you find peace, too (LMP)
It’s amazing to me that all these famous people are coming forward to say all these nice things about Michael Jackson now that he is no longer here. They all knew that he has been having issues for a long time and no one, NO ONE stepped in to help him. They all knew how troubled he was and how he needed someone to help him and they didn’t bother. Lisa Marie Presley said a whole bunch of mean things in interviews about her marriage to Michael and how she felt about him afterward. And now she wants to act like she tried to do something because her guilty conscious is eating at her. To little way to late. If Lisa truly cared about him she would have helped him. She decided she didn’t want to help him and just walked away. Then she did what all others did that used him..talk bad about him. Its really sad.
RIP Michael Jackson
Maily, Clearly you’ve never had to deal with an addict in your life. You’ve not lost a child to suicide or drug overdose. You don’t have a remaining child nearly losing their mind from losing a sibling. I am certainly Lisa did all that she was capable of doing. She was very young when she married Michael as well, As she said she had children to protect. As far as I’m concerned there should be a halo over her head. Seems she was the only person in his life that wasn’t out for his money and that will forever include his loser parents. Child abuse helped to kill Michael Jackson. Loook it up…..how those kids learned to dance so well by dodging a belt their own father was swinging. May God save his chilren from their grandfather.
She can regret marrying him and still love him very much. She had the sense to get her children out but how does that tell you she had ill feeling for him. He was a genius but a risk with children. He was a good person but still and addict.
His life was hell and all he really had was money and pain.
HE WAS A CHILD MOLESTER! HE WAS A CRIMINAL!
Again He was a child molester , HE WAS A CRIMINAL AND I’M SURE HE WENT TO HELL!
Lisa,
I read with great interest and appreciation your down-to-earth and from the heart message about Michael Jackson’s early premonition of his fate.
Even though many fans did not know the real person, only the “celebrity”, some were privy he was battling personal demons and hauntings. Although lacking the insight as to why, I believe many felt compassion, while unfortunately others sought persecution.
Despite this, I think another important legacy (beside the obvious) he leaves on humankind is that he had an incredible conscientiousness, energy and spirit–perhaps on a higher planetarium or universal realm than the one he has just departed from… He was undeniably beyond average thinking or understanding.
I hope, as you said, he is now free from pain and continues his journey at the next level.
Michael u r a great guy but why??? i hope u have a great time in heaven R.I.P its not coz of the drugs its coz u had 2 much stress bless u! u never did anything wrong with painkillers that was coz u broke ur back a long time ago!
From Callum Owen

LMP - I am sorry you have been ripped apart, again. Time will help to heal this latest blow, Be strong.
MJ was a genuis singer and dancer — may he always be remembered as such.
R.I.P.
Dear LISA PRESLEY!
Thinking of you and the family at this time,
I know it’s hard to put things into words , when you lose some one so close to you, however, your words were very honest and heart felt ,
It’s sad that MJ thought that he would end this way it’s ashame he felt he didnt have the power to change his destiny, especially when he was so talented and changed his music on so many levels.
Only we can change our life for the better, it’s a shame Michael didnt see that he had the power with inhimself to do that.
I was only 10 when your father passed away , :(………I still can hear the person on the news yelling The King Is Dead ! and my mother crying in the back ground, Your Father was an amaizing Man , but sadly fame and (vultures)…….destroyed such a wonderful human being,
Maybe one day Lisa maybe your Legacy is too try to stop these vampires and vultures from preying on such talented people and help stop these powerful harmful drugs that only cause pain and distruction in one’s life and the lovening family’s around them.
Thanks again Lisa for your caring words and lots of hugz from down under , and to the Jackson family I’m so sorry for your loss of such a wonderful Son Brother Uncle and Father , I pray the Lord comforts you all in your sad loss, and I pray Michael’s children will get the chance to have a “Normal Life” so some degree …..as we all deserve some Normality in our lives …..
RIP MJ…………
Michael was murdered dont let them fool you! They were afraid that he should have an enormous effect on people since he converted to ISLAM, maybe millions could have converted because of him. He could have disturbed the Palestinian and Israel case so they needed to get rid off him….just think about it!!!
@susan: who the hell cares about rulers, were talking a loving and genuine man, here, not merely a ruler of a country! Its his character that made him special, or worthy of others saying what they felt and how their heart hurt. Its his humanness not the fact that he was an amazing musician. Thats really and truly what it is about here. We lack that anymore in this c razy mixed up technological world!
Why are a lot of people on here giving their sympathy to Lisa Marie Presley. She didn’t have anything to do with Michael Jackson anymore. The sympathy should go to his family and his children for their loss of a son, brother, uncle, and father that he was to all of them. My heart goes out to his family and his three children.
I think this comment from Lisa Marie was so beautiful and heartfelt. When you love a person and have a relationship that doesn’t end well you will show a range of emotions.
I hope she doesn’t torture herself too much with regret. Its hard enough trying to help a person who has emotional issues and not a lot of resources . How can you help a person with his type of resources and ability to isolate himself?
The people bashing Al and Jesse really need to quit it. What you don’t realize or care to understand is that Al and Jesse both knew MJ very well. They have been prominent activists in the black community and the Jacksons were a prominent black entertainment family.
Go through the Jet magazine archive on Google and you might get a better understanding of the relationships and the history.
