Michael Jackson Predicted His Death – Ending “Up Like Elvis”

Michael Jackson’s former wife Lisa Marie Presley said the pop star was a tortured soul who once predicted that he would “end up” like her father, the late rock icon Elvis Presley.

Writing on her MySpace blog, Ms Presley, the only daughter of the original “King of Rock ‘n’ Roll”, describes having a conversation with Jackson about her father’s August 16, 1977 death. Elvis Presley died at age 42 of a heart attack after years of drug use.

“At some point he (Jackson) 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,’” she wrote in the blog posting, which was verified by her spokesperson.
