Lisa Marie Presley, the former wife of Michael Jackson has written an emotional new blog about the death of her one time partner.
As show business weddings go, the relationship between Lisa Marie Presley and Michael Jackson united two families entwined in the upper echelons of American society. The daughter of rock pioneer Elvis, Lisa Marie Presley was born into a rare level of fame.
Often compared to Elvis Presley in terms of fame and stature, Michael Jackson married Lisa Marie Presley in 1994. Soon after, Jackson became embroiled in child abuse charges and came to rely heavily on his wife.
The couple seemed happy together, but divorced in 1996. Michael Jackson remained friendly with his former wife, until his death last week following a cardiac arrest. The singer was troubled to the end, and in a new blog Presley reveals that he feared an isolated death like her father.
In the MySpace posting titled ‘He Knew’ Lisa Marie Presley claims that she tried for years to help the singer, but ultimately failed.
“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.”
Speaking of the singer’s death, Presley said: “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.”
Describing her one time husband Lisa Marie Presley wrote: “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.”
Finishing, the singer’s one time wife paid tribute to him by saying “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.”
