Lisa Marie: Michael Said He'd End up Like Elvis

Lisa Marie Presley -- who was briefly married to Michael Jackson back in the 90's -- said MJ once predicted he was headed down the same path as Elvis ... who died at the age of 42 after battling addiction to prescription drugs.

On her blog this morning, Lisa Marie said Michael once told her: "I am afraid that I'm going to end up like [Elvis], the way he did." She goes on to say, "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."

Lisa Marie also said despite what people think, her marriage to Michael wasn't a sham.

16. #1 Doesn't it seem ironic that they do all these anti-pot commercials and go out of their ways to tell us how dangerous marijuanna is, but I've never heard a celebrity OR ANYONE dying from smoking a joint.

19. Michael Jackson was a tragic figure, looking for Love ( and acceptance ) in all the Wrong places, especially in the Entertainment Field; An Industry that preys on the dysfunction of the stars that it chews up and spits out, as well as their fans.
The quick fix of 'Fame & Fortune' are never enough to fill the void in a child's heart, when that child gets anything less than unconditional love, acceptance and encouragement very early on, ( or later on through trial and introspection ) and learns to have self respect. Drugs can never numbed the pain for long enough.
RIP Dear Michael. You no longer have to go to such lengths to be anything BUT who you were at birth,
an amazing, good looking, bright, sensitive talented black child of God.
It appears to me that Michael, more than anything, died of a ' broken heart.'
There is an old Christian saying, that applies to all people of all faiths:
" Seek ye first the Kingdom Of God, and everything else will be added unto You"
We can all take a lesson from this tragic death and our loss of this entertainer.

21. Well when you live the way they did, growing up very poor and then becoming so rich and famous so quickly it is just hard to handle. While I am a huge Elvis fan, I thought Michael was so talented. The other thing is that they both had people around them that just did as they were told and had "personal" dr's at their feet giving them whatever they wanted. In the day of Elvis knowledge of prescription drugs being so dangerous wasn't as known as it is today. I bet that when the reports come back it will be from drugs. To me Elvis was the greater singer, Michael of course the better dancer. They both had that something but Michael was just so strange, Elvis was so cool and handsome at the end michael looked like a freak, a side show attraction, I know everyone says Elvis was fat, but he only weighed 235, which for a man is not alot it was just from the pills that he looked worse, the bloating. Well fame can be a killer that's for sure.

22. Bless you Lisa!! And May Michael and of Course Elvis rest in peace.. It is such a shame how most of the people are saying bad things about Mike and its sad... The man is dead.. You can't honestly tell me you never listened to his music or ever danced to it... Hmm Nah I know you can't.. Society is cruel and it rules His song Said it all doesn't matter if your black or white.. we only have one life on this earth and to be so dam cruel and heartless is beyond me.. maybe you all bad mouthed people should go visit the war and then come back and see how you feel and what bad you have to say about people.. Opps maybe you will be worse...

23. Isn't this how the story usually goes, people become legends after their death.

24. Hmmmmm....

She used to go around telling the world that she slept with Michael and the marriage was not a sham years ago, but she wouldn't tell the world that Michael was a drug abuser and headed for death - like her father???

Seems "better or for worse" means doing what you can to get the guy some help.

ImJuSayin...

25. What a bunch of dumb ass coments on this site. I just don't get how people who probably have problems of their own are so quick to write nasty stuff about a dead man. You bad mouthed people probably have effed up lives and your only recourse is to write crap about others. Stupid comments from stupid people. I know compassion and feelings are not in your vocabulary, but just try to find a heart in your chest and even sit down and listen to the music both kings performed. If your foot doesn't start tapping the floor, then you are too far gone.

26. Lisa Marie, I sure never would have thought it was a sham. I was very near you in Memphis the night the postal service issued the first stamp for your dad.....you were dazzlingly beautiful that night as you came out to see the fireworks.....I was at the curb when you got out of the car, and I am sure my jaw dropped open when you got out....I had never seen your picture before and thought "My God, THERE is Elvis IN THE FLESH !" when I saw you. Michael was nothing short of brilliant when he courted you. God Bless you both !

28. I agree with "iF he had not". Hollywood is only concerned with the BENJAMINS. Elvis has made more money dead, than he ever made alive, AND SO WILL MICHAEL. His estate will make so much more now that he is dead. It is always the same scenario...Marilyn, Elvis, Anna Nicole, Heath...died from an overdose of prescription drugs. Something should be done about the licensed drug pushers called doctors. Lord have mercy on the Hollywood parasite executives and all that sucked him dead. We will never know the real truth! ONLY GOD KNOWS!!

29. Why do I get the creepy feeling that her other famous ex might be heading down the same path. Hes been looking like the walking dead for a long time now.

30. Everyone keeps saying "like Elvis"...because of the drugs..........what about being BROKE!!!
