Elvis and Michael Jackson: Did they ever meet?

[Admin]

Good question!


First of all we had Elvis Presley, who was often known as the King of Rock ‘n’ Roll. He was a singer, an actor and musical icon still loved by millions worldwide, even though he passed away in 1977 at the age of 42. (or so it's alleged)

Then we had Michael Jackson, who was known as the King of Pop He too is a music icon, loved by millions.

But according to examiner.com, one question that people are asking, did the King of Pop ever meet the King of Rock ‘n’ Roll? After all, Michael was married to Elvis’ only daughter Lisa-Marie and although they didn’t marry until 1994, they first met in 1975.

Interesting question about EP and MJ meeting. I haven't heard a thing about them meeting, and with all the media recently comparing EP and MJ, no one has ever mentioned it that I know of.

This just in from ET...does anybody buy it?

Ian Halperin, the author who correctly predicted last year that Michael Jackson had six months left to live, offers ET his take on the late icon's final days.

"The last days and weeks of Michael's life he was extremely frail, confused, rarely slept, rarely ate, and seemed to be more pensive than ever," claims Halperin, the author of a new book about the reportedly troubled twilight of Jackson's life.

Halperin, who says he interviewed more than 2,000 people for his book, says his sources told him the late King of Pop was anorexic, bulimic and, toward the end, "barely ate a crumb." Contributing to Jackson's fragile state, Halperin says, was the alleged influence of prescription drugs.

"Michael was in extreme pain, especially the last few months and weeks of his life. With his tour [looming], the only way he'd be able to get up was with the use of drugs to help him, to numb the pain," the author says. "[Michael] was the first to admit he was in no condition to do a two-hour show. And they were going to camouflage it with old video clips, new video clips, dancers on stage…"

Jackson's respiratory health was so poor, Halperin says, that at one point a lung transplant was considered. "That's what I was told: that it was recommended that he have a lung transplant, but his condition might not hold up."

Halperin's book, Unmasked: The Final Years of Michael Jackson, arrives July 14.

They said basically the same things about Elvis, that he had bad health problems before he died. I think it's too coincidental that they both died of a cardiac arrest, basically brought on by a drug over dose, alleged by their own hand. I don't buy it for one minute. I truly believe that someone is responsible for both their deaths.

Cybill Shepherd is speaking out about the death of Michael Jackson, which she compares to the loss of another world-famous icon: Elvis Presley.
