"Someone Wants Me Dead"...Michael

Michael Jackson the 'King of Pop' died of
suspected cardiac arrest last June 25, 2009 at
age 50. A month before the tragedy, it was
reported that he related to his 11-year-old
daughter Paris his fears saying:"I'm going to
die soon. Someone wants me dead."

In the new book of author Ian Halperin
'Unmasked: The Final Years of Michael
Jackson', he wrote: "He called her into his
room and told her not to get mad at him if he
didn't make it to Father's Day (21.06.09).
He felt extremely ill. Unfortunately, no-one
wanted to help him."

According to the author, one of Michael's aides
told him that the icon was being given prescription
drugs "like candy".

The aide reportedly said: "Someone wants him
dead. They keep feeding him pills like candy.
They are trying to push him over the edge. He
needs serious help. The people around him will
kill him."

Halperin also insists that Michael Jackson was
not fit to do the shows and he was forced to do 50.

Ian said: "Michael was in extreme pain, especially
the last few months and weeks of his life.
With his tour looming, the only way he'd be able
to get up was with the use of drugs to help him,
to numb the pain. Michael was the first to admit
he was in no condition to do a two-hour show.
They were to camouflage it with old video clips, new
video clips and dancers on stage."

Last July 13, 2009, fans gathered at The O2 where
they sang songs and lit candles as a tribute to
Michael Jackson, the 'King of Pop.'
