Lisa Marie: Jackson Foresaw His End

Ex-Wife Writes That Singer Once Said He'd End Up Like Elvis; Also Says Their Marriage Was Not A "Sham"

(CBS)  "He knew."

So writes the former wife of singer Michael Jackson.

On her MySpace page Lisa Marie Presley, daughter of Elvis Presley, recounts a conversation she had with Jackson about her dad.

Elvis Presley died in 1977. While his death was believed to be due to cardiac arrest, one post-mortem report indicated 14 drugs in Presley's system. He was just 42.

She said her discussion with Jackson may have been him questioning her about the circumstances of her 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,'" Presley writes.

"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."

She said that watching the news of Jackson's death, the memory of the conversation from 14 years ago hit her, "as did the unstoppable tears."

She writes that Jackson's ending may have been predicted, and also took blame. "The person I failed to help is being transferred right now to the L.A. County Coroners office for his Autopsy," she wrote.

"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."

She also wrote at length about their 1994 marriage, which lasted 18 months, because "I want the truth out there for once."

"Our relationship was not 'a sham,' as is being reported in the press," she said. "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,'" she added. "I wanted to save him from the inevitable which is what has just happened."

She praised Jackson for not allowing mediocrity into his life, and described him as "an incredibly dynamic force and power that was not to be underestimated."

This "dynamic force," Presley writes, attracted what she called "awful vampires and leeches," and she said she became very ill and both emotionally and spiritually exhausted by her quest to rescue him from what she called his self-destructive behavior.

"I was in over my head while trying," Presley wrote. She said that following her divorce, she obsessed and grew angry, then finally "indifferent," to his situation, 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," she wrote.

"Any ill experience or words I have felt towards him in the past has just died inside of me along with him."

AP - Michael Jackson's former long-time nanny said she often had to pump the King of Pop's stomach after he swallowed too many prescription medications.

He can join the list of celibs who took the drug way out of obscurity along with Allen Ladd, Judy Garland, Marilin Monroe, Hendrix, Morrison, Momma Cass, to name just a few.

Elizabeth Taylor said about the passing of Michael Jackson, "My life feels so empty." How many other people, fans, and gawkers who didn't share anything close to their relationship are claiming they feel the same way?

Big Pharma takes the life of another superstar, when will it end. Posted by Baileyccc

Is that Bailey as in Beetle Bailey. You got to be kidding me. You are going to blame Pharma on Jacksons timely death? The mindset of a drug addict is this, if I can't get it 'clean and safe' from my pharmacy than I will buy it on the street. Big Pharma kept him alive longer if anything. Go Big Pharma.

SIX STORIES on the CBS News homepage about this child molesting scummbag?!?!?!

[John_Merritt]

If Michael had 'forseen his future - his death' he would not have died alone. Why you ask? Because he needed people. He needed to be loved and to feel loved. Perhaps he was going for that one last buzz, who knows? Perhaps he was preparing for his tour, who knows? Perhaps he was waiting to meet his maker, who knows? However, if you knew Michael, he hated to be by himself, and so he was wrong about his timely, but untimely death. It might have been the inappropriate time for him, but it was his appointed time. That I know.

BS, I don't see no blood... Maybe a crimp..

[brianp55]

Thank you, Lisa Marie. Receiving commentary from the greatest intellect (not to mention the most talented)in the known universe will allow all of us to put this into perspective.

[trapbreaking]

Michael indeed forsaw his end. Like telling his attendants to be sure to take him to a children's hospital.

LOL

The tragedy of self destructive people, is that we may be able to save them from everything but themselves.

[excoachken]

How brilliant, Lisa!!! Is there any sane person who did not see this coming!!

[shedhouserob]

I never felt Jacko was a top singer. A very talented dancer( his moon walk) but he had more than his share of talent. I believe Sammy Davis Jr. and Jacko were at the top of their trade. Sammy was a better singer.

"I wanted to 'save him,'" she [Lisa Marie Presley] added.

"The person I failed to help is being transferred right now to the L.A. County Coroners office for his Autopsy," she wrote.

So much for the "wonders of scientology"!

Lisa Marie, the conqueror of "body thetans" [trillions of souls from a far away galaxy, imprisoned by the galactic overlord Xenu in a volcano (that didn't yet exist) 75 million years ago, and now inhabiting our bodies, causing every problem we ever experience] couldn't "save him" (i.e., turn him into a scientologist) because, even though Michael was a sad and lonely twisted freak, Lisa just couldn't convice him to believe anything that crazy!

[lyndar2]

Lisa Marie, America loves you. Please don't blame yourself for any part of Michael's demise. There was nothing more you could have down.

[AttentionDeficit]

America loves Lisa Marie? For what? Being born to a drug addled rock star?
