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.

@Kelly Monroe: Dont mind me for saying, you know this to be so do you???? You no doubt witnessed it did you? How can you possibly say that, the man was a magnet for freaks, leeches etc. take a look at all his biographies etc. rather than the tabloids! Listen to the lyrics in the songs he wrote, hello….. any person who writes music like what he wrote, opens the window to their heart! He loved kids because kids were the only ones he could trust!!! Yes, this world is full of garbage, people just can not wait to gossip, and gang up on someone. Whats worse is that we teach our children that! Im not saying the poor man had no faults, or because he was a musical genius he is better. Im saying look at the humanness of him, his eccentricness, and yet his humility and shyness. If were going to disect him, lets be honest! He was not a god, but a man, a man struggling like the rest of us! He was NOT convicted, obviously the welfare fraud woman took the money and ran. Hello Michael has now found his rest, no more judgements by anyone! Awaiting the reserection to life! Going to miss you Michael, you were rare.
GUILT is eating this woman alive. She should have been shouting this to the roof tops, when he was going through the hell he was put through in 2005 She should have been teling the world what she knows and that the marriage was real etc… this woman (Lisa Marie Presley )was “indifferent”, as she puts it and chose to distance herself. she did not stand by his side like Elizabeth Taylor did, and now the guilt has gotten to her. I empathise with her and I know it must be painful, but realy, You wait til he’s gone to want to put the trough out…hmmmm God Bless her but I just , i dont know
Very eloquent, moving words from Lisa and I understand exactly what she is saying. It’s hard - so hard - to try to save someone who will not be saved.
No one should blame her for anything she said in the past. She admits that she angry after the divorce and that anger spilled out.
But I believe she loved him and I also believe she is truly hurting over his death.
Lisa doesn’t have to jump on anyone’s bandwagon as others have said. She will always be famous in her own right. I think she is speaking from the heart and I admire her for her candor.
It is a sad time with the loss of Michael,my heart goes out to his family and to lisa marie,Michael to me was a lonely person and he struggled to find love anywhere.What he didn’t know was that he was loved by everyone,but that doesn’t make up for the love of family.Michael was a great singer,dancer,loyal friend,father and son.We have heard about the doctors who perscribed him medication and it is these people who need to be spoken to,as they are also to blame for the distruction of Michael.Lisa Marie,you can’t blame yourself for not helping Michael,other people let him down and i hope they are feeling guilty right now,as Lisa Marie you tried your best to help him and that you can be proud of.Michael you are now safe in a place where you can not be touched or hounded,you will never be pushed or pulled in any direction you don’t want to go.Rest now Michael as you can be reassured that your name will always be remembered and you will always be our Peterpan.
I think this woman is a hypocrite and she makes me sick. She and her mom did nothing for MJ when he was alive, in all their interviews, they never said anything nice about him. They made fun of him with glee written all over their ugly faces. They took pleasure in humiliating him and making sure all the salacious stories stuck, they are part of the press and members of the public who wanted his downfall. Now, she is shamelessly jumping in with real sympathizers pretending to care. I hope she carries the guilt she feels now for rest of her life because she and the press contributed to his death. A true friend don’t abandon their friend when they are in trouble. You are there for them in good times and more so in bad times. It seems strange that MJ has more friends in death than when he was alive and he didn’t even know it and will never know.
I think that Lisa Marie was so young when she married Michael, and that they both truly loved each other. If you look at performances from Michael when they were together he definitely seems to have more confidence and seemed genuinely happier when he was with her than he had since his earlier years in the 80’s. I think that he really loved her. I remember the press release of Michael saying Lisa come back Michael needs you. I think that Michael had a lot more women than we ever knew of and made them all sign confidentiality agreements. He wanted to keep his personal life PERSONAL, and didn’t want to be portrayed as being like his father or brothers using women and to keep his fans interested in him. He was definitely attracted to women but put on an act that he was too shy to have them. Now that he is gone I wonder if more of the truth about his relationships with women will come out.
I not sure, but im somehow dislike Lisa, becus in one of the interview of Lisa bout why Michael and Lisa divorce, lisa gave a negative comment bout MJ of his behavior….: (
You might wanna try drugs and a lot of them. M/J was the scum of the earth & I thank God everyday for taking him, because now the children he would have abused are safe. Anyone who would have a relationship with this man is no better than he was. You make me want to vomit. May God be as good to you, as He was to Michael.
I`m from a little country( not tha it`s so important) but sometimes information gets here late. That`s why I just read about this statement by Lisa Marie and I was really touched by it… but not for long. Because I had missed some more important information- that she had made so ugly statements about their marriage while he was alive( thank you all for writing them here). And this is another proof that a Genius is always lonely, that MJ has never had true people around him, people that loved and supported him truly. They were all hypocritical as Lisa was.
I trully mourn for his death, he was a great inspiration for me and I will forever keep him alive in my heart. But in somewhay I`m sure that he is in a better place right now because he is finally free from all this falsity that he had to live with(and that in my opinion killed him).
RIP,Michael, you will always be loved nd missed!!!
@Loei: Now then, a perfect example of why the world is in such a state! Cursings and blessings coming out from the same source! you may wish to read the comments above! I realize its a free world. There is one thing your forgetting…….. he was NOT convicted! Hello leeches take the money and run! Do you think she cared about her child, if she settled for money? Duuuuh people seem to love to accuse others.
What Lisa says is beautiful. It just feels weird to hear this from someone who had defined his marriage with Michael as her biggest mistake. Of course I cannot know the truth, nor is it any of my business, but since Lisa went public about this she cannot mind a comment from an MJ fan. There were so many people who laughed at Michael, called him insane…now death seems to have erased all that. Nice words help more when they can support a living person rather than a deceased one.
Anyway, I hope Lisa is sincere now, and that all the interviews I had read in the past were bull ****.
Michael, I hope so much that you are beginning to enjoy right now the peace you were never granted in life. If you can, please share some with us on Earth…

@mailey:
RIP Michael. It’s never easy at times like these to say what is truly on ones heart. I wish you Love and wish all your hidden pain away my friend. I thank LMP for sharing her feelings, she must be hurting, to Love someone as she did Michael….”You are Not Alone” Lisa, I loved that video. Know that Michael meant every word, though near or far, you are always in his heart. My condolences go out to Michaels children who he loved so much, his family and many fans. Michael is in a much kinder, non-judgemental, Loving place, what he has always searched and hoped for. I will never forget you.

Thank you for that wonderful tribute, Lisa Marie.
It’s easy for some of us fans to judge you, because we would’ve done anything just to be as close as you were with Michael– or we think we would’ve. But when it comes down to it, we don’t know what really happened. All we have is the romanticized version of everything. Fame isn’t half of what it’s hyped to be. You probably went through a lot of emotional hell with Michael– and naturally regretted that… it’s unfortunate that many times we find that only with death can our anger and bitterness towards someone melt away. Life would be so much more beautiful if we could only realize how precious our loved ones are, while they’re still with us.
Best wishes and I hope you find solace for your grief, and don’t bury yourself in guilt. What’s done is done, and in the end you loved and were loved by the two greatest men in music history. Maybe I’m being naive to say this, but that’s a blessing few have enjoyed.
@jaye: I agree with you. While we all gasped at the charges and lifestyle he lead, now everyone thinks he was a God. Goes to show that no matter what kind of person you are in life, they will say only nice things when your dead, not when your alive! That has always bugged me, famous or not!
your right. Couldn’t Al Sharpton done an intervention on him. Hasn’t anyone in the family ever heard of the betty ford clinic or “intervention” program. Maybe if they did, they would have to much money to loose. Shame on those blood suckers!@angel:
Thank you for these words… and I am very sorry… for Michael and for your father… Elvis Presley is my idol even if I was only 2 when he flew away. Later, I discovered Michael’s music…You were lucky to be loved by two men who were and will always be the KINGS! They are your gardian angels now. Take care, Princess… My best wishes from Romania
you were loved by two KINGS: your dad and Michael… be happy 4 this, princess!
RIP ELVIS!
RIP, MJ!
I know how these things can be, i really feel sorry for MJ but we do have to understand that people like this dont generally live so long.
It a good thing that Lisa speaks out, i’d like her to know that there are things that are normally way beyond us and so she should just pray for him and all will be well.
LONG LIVE THE KING OF POP.
@agathi:
Those type of comments are stupid.
everyone in this world knew michael jackson, he’s THE star. he will be missed.
Everyone should learn a lesson from what happened to him
Hi,
My sister died of cancer when she was four and she loved listening and dancing to thriller..I had a wish that she could meet Michael but it was too late…we thought she was getting well and two weeks later she was dead…..now they can dance to thriller together….do you know that towards the end Michael almost looked like the Roman Catholic vision of Jesus Christ….when you watch Heal The World it makes me wonder whether or not he was sent for a reason…have to point out that I am am not particularly religious and do not normally voice my feelings in this type of format but I have to say,,MJ take care of your most devoted fan Martina Reilly who died 25.03.1986….show her all your moves until I see her…you were a good man who was mis-understood…..I am certainly sorry for ever having doubted you…God bless you and your children….xx
Her reflection on Michael seemed sincere, heartfelt & was beautiful. Until you’ve walked in the shoes of either none of you can imagine the fish bowl they’ve lived in. I for one am grateful that she stepped up and gave some insight, even though it’s really no one business but theirs. Thank you Lisa Marie. My thoughts and prayers go out to you and the Jackson family during this most difficult time. My hope is that people would honor Michael by giving him and his family the privacy they deserve.
Micheal loved her from the bottom of his heart only to get mocked at by her in public for years.She should have cherished the genuine love he showed her!She should have stayed with him!
RIP,MJ.
It was good to watch all of Micheal’s videos on VH1 and grieve for him. I’m a 51 yr old white woman who saw his heart in his music, which was always about entertainment, caring for others around the world, or “looking at our own face in the mirror.” Now, today all of the uglys have to come out.. The money issues and the race stuff. Micheal was not about that. Also, he was found not guilty concerning the charges against him years ago. I hope he was not guilty but now he is facing a loving God (as we all will) and God is the true God who Knows all of our works-good or bad. Stop with all the nonsense. I choose only to believe that he had a big heart and that he was not perfect. God bless you, Micheal. A loving fan, Pam.
