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

31. Sure they marriage wasn't a sham - most husbands don't touch their wives anyway.

32. It's a shame Michael Jackson never go into rehab. If he was concerned that it wasn't private enough or high end, he could have gone to Renaissance Malibu. I know they've treated celebrities and high level executives in a private and therapeutic setting. It's just a shame he had to lose his life to drugs.

34. I was very pleased to read the comments from Lisa Marie Presley. She knew and shared his pain. I would like to share a poem I wrote to honor Michael's life and legacy.

A TRIBUTE TO MICHAEL

June 25, 2009 will be remembered around the world as the day your heart ceased;
But some will never ever realize it was the day you received your greatest gift, solitude and peace;
Entertainer, legend, child prodigy and icon are just a few words to describe just who you had become;
As there will be never, never be another who touched so many lives through music as you, Michael Jackson;

You paid a huge price for all the stardom and fame;
We selfishly robbed you of your childhood never realizing that your life would never be the same;
Who was that “Man in the Mirror”, some may ask?
Who in his latter years lived in recluse and covered his face with a mask;

There was something special about you from the very first day;
“It was all in your eyes”, your mother would say;
You stole the hearts of many from the time you were five;
And along came “Off the Wall and Thriller” and the whole world knew you had arrived;

But something “life changing” happened to you along the way;
For your life was centered around rehearsals and music instead of just riding a bike and regular child’s play;
You will be known around the world as the greatest and controversial entertainer of all time;
Along with your eccentric ways, loving heart and child– like mind;

Your music transcended all races, economic status, political affiliations and ages;
But none of that really mattered to anyone when you got up on that stage;
You will also be remembered for your electrifying moonwalk and mesmerizing silver glove;
For you glided across the stage as if you were an elegant dove;

May you finally find peace in your after life;
No more paparazzi, frenzies or controversy hype;
We won’t say good bye or so long—never, never;
For you, Michael will live on through your music, your infectious smile and our hearts forever and ever!

35. #15 comment.... I agree complelely... how sad that we so called "fans" built them up just to tear them down... Thank God Brittney Spears has seemed to gotten the help she needed so badly... I'm only sorry Elvis nor Michael could have been so blessed!

36. I'm not sure anyone cares but I was thinking today... how sad... the King of Rock and Roll, Elvis, died from drug inducted heart failure... It looks as though the same has happened to the King of Pop and being a huge Country music fan... I'm told the King of Country, Hank Williams, died the same way on the backseat of his white cadillac on the way to a performance... How very very sad for all three. I pray they are with the true King now!

40. Lisa my heart goes out to you. He was your husband one time and I know you guys were close. It's a lot to deal with. I'm praying for you and for the kids of Michael Jackson and his family.

41. It's truly sad that these mega-stars don't surround themselves with good, wise people that can help them stay clear of the drugs! ALL DRUGS have some side effects that are dangerous but yet people still think its o.k. to keep taking them??

42. if there's a rock 'n' roll heaven

43. I do hope Michael Jackson's children are being allowed to see just what an icon he was and how many millions of people loved him dearly. I wouldn't be surprised if they are unaware that their father was the most famous man on the planet.

44. Lisa Marie needs to find a batch of ProActive..

45. Truth is the world wanted to much from Micheal. I believe the child molestation charges killed him.He was broken and the reason for the plastic surgery was because he could not take looking at his abusive father when he looked into the mirror.Yes he exibited strange behavior but so do many people. Micheal Jackson was a lost soul with unbeleivable talent. Lisa Marie has the god given right to be sad..Micheal was her friend first and foremost.Unless you walk in the other persons shoes and lived there life you do not know the truth. Rest in peice Micheal...god knows you never got a moments rest here on earth..
