Michael Jackson's Desperate Letter To Lisa Marie Presley On Sale !

It has always been well known that The King of Pop was leading a traumatic existence before his death.

But a newly released letter to his ex wife Lisa Marie Presley casts even more light on how he was struggling with the pressures of being one of the world's favourite celebrities.

Michael Jackson revealed that he had not slept for days and needed to "take care of my health first" in the document, which has been put up for auction.

In a schoolchild-style scrawl, Michael wrote: "I truly need this rest. I haven't slept literally in four days now. I need to be away from phones and business people. I must take care of my health first".

It has to be noted that Michael also told his lover he was "crazy'" for her and signed off under his pet name "Turd".

Readers are given a sense of the warmth between the couple during their marriage, which lasted from 1994 to 1996, from the letter.

It has to be mentioned that the highly personal message is predicted to fetch up to $1,200 when it goes under the hammer at the "Julien's Auctions" sale in Beverly Hills next month.
