Michael Jackson’s close friend reveals people sent threatening letters to get the late singer’s life

According to Michael Jacobshagen, Jackson’s longtime friend and confidant, the singer was deeply concerned that someone was actively trying to end his life.

Jacobshagen has come forward with 13 letters that Jackson penned in the lead-up to his demise, all of which express the artist’s profound sense of unease and paranoia.

In these haunting letters, Jackson wrote chilling phrases such as ‘They are trying to murder me’ and ‘ I am scared about my life.’ 

However, the letters do not explicitly name the individuals he believed were plotting against him.

Jacobshagen believed Michael Jackson’s death was related to promoter AEG.

Jacobshagen speculates that some of the stress and threats Jackson referenced may have stemmed from his dealings with the concert promoter AEG, with whom he had a contentious relationship.

He also revealed that Jackson called him in a panic days before his London O2 arena performance. He flew to the US and received the letters there.

Now, he’s sharing them to back Paris’s belief that her father was murdered.

Jackson’s daughter, Paris, has vocally supported the theory that her father was the victim of foul play. 

In an interview with Rolling Stone, Paris Jackson, the daughter of Michael Jackson, openly expressed her suspicions that her father had been the victim of a setup. 

Although this may sound like a conspiracy theory, Paris and Michael’s true fans all believe this is the truth.

She stated that all the evidence points to a setup and that it was simply a deception.

“All arrows point to that. It sounds like a total conspiracy theory and it sounds like bullshit, but all real fans and everybody in the family know it. It was a setup. It was bullshit,” she stated.

The Jackson family, including his mother and three children, filed separate wrongful death lawsuits against AEG, alleging that the company was negligent in hiring the disgraced physician, Conrad Murray.

He ultimately administered the fatal cocktail of medications that led to the singer’s demise.

However, in 2013, a group of people who decided on legal matters ruled in favor of the concert company. This meant the company was not responsible for what happened.

Despite the legal outcome, the revelation of Jacobshagen about threatening letters sent to Jackson has sparked speculation and conspiracy theories surrounding his tragic passing. 

Fans and family still believe the beloved entertainer was targeted in a dark conspiracy he felt but couldn’t stop.
