Katherine Jackson deeply troubled about singer’s tour
On the eve of an explosive court hearing into Michael Jackson’s estate, his mother is suffering in torment, says a close family friend.
Katherine Jackson is haunted by the belief she could have saved her troubled son. She had begged him just a week before his death not to go on the gruelling 50-date UK tour, it has emerged.
She is said to be unable to sleep and doing all she can to hold it together at the Jackson family compound in Encino for the sake of Michael’s three children. Kevin McLin, a family friend who knew Michael for 34 years, told the UK Sunday Mirror that Katherine is arranging for the older two children to meet their birth mother, Debbie Rowe, who obtained visitation rights in a deal struck with Katherine out of court. Rowe will be introduced as Miss Debbie rather than Mom.
McLin said: “Debbie hasn’t had contact with the kids for years so they will see a counsellor to talk them through it before they see her. Prince Michael has taken his father’s death the worst. He used to go everywhere with Michael – to business meetings and the studios. He is kind of quiet, but they are all seeing a therapist and Paris lets her emotions out, which is good.”
Katherine is focused on AEG, the London tour promoter, McLin said. “Katherine is asking questions but the answers don’t make sense. She wants to know how Michael passed the physical examination he was given by AEG. Something has to be wrong with this because he had all of these problems – how could he possibly pass a test like that?”
McLinn added: “When the toxicology result comes out and [if] it’s different from what the AEG doctors said about his health it will be time to consider legal action.”
