Just 48 hours before his death, Michael Jackson was “in a high state
of stress and emotional drama, fearing that he would never be able to
complete the 50-concert run in London, and it would kill him.” That’s
the inside word from one of the closest business friend’s of the late
King of Pop who he turned to often when problems were at their darkest.
I am sworn to never release his identity. The night that the
rehearsals were filmed and recorded at the Staples Center in L.A.,
Michael returned home “exhausted, highly strung, stressed and sweating
profusely.” Click
HERE for CNN video of the rehearsals on YouTube.
Michael reportedly said: “We did it, but we can’t go on. I’ll never
make all 50. It will kill me.”
Michael’s confidante told me that he had come up with a last-minute
plan to meet everybody’s needs. He wanted AEG to stage the This Is It
show as a one-night world spectacular -- the largest one-time pop music
event in history. It would be produced live from London, and it would be
available in movie theaters, arenas and concert halls around the world
simultaneously with immediate CD and DVD release.

Michael Jackson appears in London to announce his
final concerts in the British capital this summer.
The concept was that Michael would still earn the money he
desperately needed and AEG would make the same money in one night as
they would from 50 shows.
Michael apparently believed it would work and everybody would be
happy, but he was stressed beyond belief if AEG insisted on going with
the original plan, according to his confidante. “He couldn’t sleep, he
was exhausted, and he was more stressed than he’d ever been in his
life,” I was told. “At the very moment he should have been able to get
back on top of the world, he worried so much he wouldn’t be able to
execute it, and disaster loomed. He thought this new plan was the best
solution.”
But top business executives reportedly rejected what Michael
proposed. His plan was nixed. He became even more stressed, and,
according to my source, it was that stress and high-wired sleeplessness
that drove him to seek relief in the illegally prescribed anesthesia
that should have only been used in a hospital operating room.
‘Death drug’ linked to Las Vegas doctors?Now five doctors are under investigation as to how Michael obtained
Diprivan and other medical supplies found at his home. I’m reliably told
that the trail will lead back to a Las Vegas hospital where one of
those doctors was able to fulfill illegal prescriptions. The
Los
Angeles Times has reported that some of the drugs had no
prescriptions on the labels, indicating that they may have been
improperly obtained from a hospital’s supply.

The
Los Angeles Times quoted two leading experts who said
that Diprivan is so powerful, it should only be administered in a
hospital -- not in a private home -- by a qualified anesthesiologist.
“It’s a very dangerous drug if self-administered or administered by
someone not trained in airway management and cardiac life support,” said
Ethan Bryson, an assistant professor of anesthesiology at Mount Sinai
School of Medicine in New York. “You need to have someone who knows what
they are doing when they administer it.”
Paul Wischmeyer, an anesthesiologist at the University of Colorado
who coauthored a 2007 study of Diprivan abuse in the journal
Anesthesia
& Analgesia, was quoted: “A lot of people do it because it
makes you completely blotto. It totally takes away all anxiety, all
fear. It’s incredibly relieving of pain, anxiety and stress. People do
it to escape.” He said he has seen people take the drug to relieve
anxiety -- and used it to escape.”
The product label from the FDA says a patient being given the drug
should be monitored at all times for signs of low blood pressure, low
oxygen levels and stopped breathing. Problems with the heart or
breathing are more likely to occur after rapid administration of the
drug. The label states that equipment to provide artificial ventilation,
supplemental oxygen and CPR “must be immediately available.”
For the record, it is not yet known if this drug or others played a
role in Michael’s death. Toxicology results have to be completed before
the L.A. County Coroner’s Office lists the cause of death. However, the
continuing inquiry by the LAPD has been beefed up with the DEA and
California Attorney General’s Office.

Michael’s final days in $100,000-a-month Holmby Hills rentalSince moving from Las Vegas, Michael lived in a $40 million,
22,000-square-foot mansion built by Mohamed Hadid and Hadid Development
Co. located in Carolwood in Holmby Hills in Westwood, a mile past the
Beverly Hills Hotel and before the Bel Air Hotel. Neighbors include Hugh
Hefner, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie.
Mohamed released this photo of the home located on 1 1/2 acres he
built in 1999 and lived in for three years before selling it to a
private investor who purchased it in 2004. Michael leased it from the
investor but was friendly with Mohamed and his children, who played with
Michael’s three kids. This photo shows Michael with Mohamed, Mohamed’s
children and his children Paris Michael Katherine, Michael Joseph Jr.
and Prince Michael II. This was taken at Thanksgiving in the residence.

When Michael began rehearsals for This Is It in California, he
insisted that AEG production people hire doctors for him, one of whom
lived at the house almost round-the-clock and was scheduled to fly to
London on the This Is It payroll.
This Is It tribute show with Las Vegas productionI can tell you on absolutely the best authority that a tentative
offer was made to the Jackson family over the weekend for a tribute show
on the Strip. Joe Jackson and other family members including Janet, but
not LaToya, also are weighing their own tribute show here with a
Beverly Hills producer. I’m told that negotiations will intensify this
week after tomorrow’s memorial service and burial.
AEG hasn’t officially confirmed that there is sufficient video
footage and multi-track recordings from the dress rehearsals to use for
such a show. Click
HERE for our original VDLX story with WireImage founder Kevin Mazur’s
rehearsal photos.
But insiders have told me there is “sufficient -- more than enough.”
In addition to Michael taping all of the This Is It rehearsals from
start to finish for a “making-of” TV documentary, he also had all the
tracks from two albums that he had been working on in the Palms
recording studio for three months when he lived here almost secretly at
George Maloof’s casino hotel.
It’s believed that everything that was recorded as a safety
precaution, and that can be used in a future show, is under tight
security at AEG offices in Staples Center.

Last week, Michael’s friend This Is It choreographer and director
Kenny Ortega, who created
Sirens at Treasure Island, appeared
on CNN’s
Anderson Cooper 360 with some of Michael’s dancers.
They all agreed that as stunned as they were by his sudden death, they
believed that Michael would have wanted the production to be seen by all
his fans around the world.
Next Monday, Michael would have kicked off the first of his London
concerts at the 02 Arena. On Saturday, it was Madonna who headlined
there debuting the European leg of her continuing Sticky & Sweet
world tour. She stopped the show to pay tribute to Michael, with one
dancer dressed as and impersonating the Gloved One.

At one point, when Michael’s debut was pushed back from July 9,
Madonna was blamed for not reshuffling her London dates to allow
Michael's crew in soon enough to build This Is It’s three stages and 22
sets for final rehearsals.
As investigators track down the cause of death and as the world
mourns at tomorrow’s televised and streamed memorial, the mega-bucks
business of pop music will continue to grind. Meantime, even
free tickets for Michael’s memorial service tomorrow morning sat Staples
Center have skyrocketed in price. Prices on eBay, despite the warning on
the tickets that there is to be no resale, have shot up in some cases
as high as $20,000 for two! One offer even has a whopping $600,000 price
tag!
Michael, in death, will at some point go out with the biggest showbiz
spectacular of all time and probably wind up making more money than
even dreamed possible with the original 50 London show comeback.
