This Saturday, June 25 marks the 13th anniversary of Michael Jackson’s death. A real shock for the world of music and its millions of fans. The opportunity to return to the last words he had addressed to his ex-wife Lisa Marie Presley.
His death had caused a wave of emotion in the world of music and even beyond. On June 25, 2009 in Los Angeles, Michael Jackson dies aged 50. The King of Pop marked several generations with hits such as Thriller, Billie John, Beat It or Rock with you. Titles that are still widely distributed. If he left no one indifferent thanks to his talent as a singer, he also made a lot of talk about him by finding himself at the heart of scandals such as the change in his skin color, his addictions or his financial setbacks.
One last conversation
Regarding his romantic relationships, Michael Jackson has been with Brooke Shields then we lent him a secret idyll with Whitney Houston. But the one who was his first wife was Lisa Marie Presley, daughter of the King. A romance that lasted only two years. In an interview with Oprah Winfrey in 2010, Michael Jackson’s ex-wife made some big revelations when she remembered the last words she had exchanged with him: “He asked me if I still loved him. I told him I was indifferent and he didn’t like that word.” Then Elvis Presley’s daughter went on to reveal that the King of Pop was very worried about his legacy and confided in her that “someone was going to try to kill him in order to get their hands on his catalog and his legacy.”
After remembering those words, Lisa Marie Presley recalled the day Michael Jackson died, June 25, 2009: “I don’t know why, but it was the weirdest day of my life. I cried all day. And I don’t normally do this, I was trying to work, I was coming home, I was cutting my food, I ate my dinner crying.” A moving testimony which, 12 years later, still provides so many emotions.
