Michael Jackson wrote a series of wishes for the world the day
he died.
The late pop star -
who died of acute Propofol intoxication on June 25 - left
several motivational, handwritten notes in his bathroom before he
passed away to help mentally prepare him for his London This Is It
shows.
A source told Britain's News of the World newspaper "These notes
show that Michael was positive until the last, but also what a mess
his mind must have been as he fought to keep it all together
towards the end."
One of the notes read "I am so grateful that I am a magnet for
miracles."
The phrase "magnet for miracles" is one often used by self-help
programmes in the US for recovering alcoholics and it is believed
regular repetition could improve your success of beating
addiction.
Another note pinned to his mirror read "Love, no violence ever!
Remember a beautiful future promise of tomorrow."
Friends of the late King of pop say these words show he was
positive, happy and upbeat in his final days.
One explained "I think this reveals how positive Michael was until
the last. He was such a sweet natured man who saw the good in
everyone. The note about a beautiful future is especially sad as it
shows he was looking forward to a successful, happy life."
Michael also used the notes to remind himself to perform his 1985
charity single We Are the World - which he recorded with Lionel
Ritchie - during his record-breaking 50-date residency at London's
O2 Arena.
Meanwhile, a hand-written reminder to "Call Temperton" - believed
to be British song-writer and producer Rob Temperton, who Michael
recorded Thriller and Rock With You with - was propped up in the
room with his agent Dr Tohme Tohme's business card and a note to
call him too.
Pals of the troubled singer say his addiction to prescription drugs
was affecting his memory.
The source added "It's worrying that he had to write reminders
about things as obvious as these while he was rehearsing for his
tour. And he would have had Dr Tohme's number in his phone - so why
would he need the card?
"But the drugs he was taking obviously had a huge impact on his
mind."
Meanwhile, it has been revealed Michael's three children - Prince
Michael I, 12, Paris, 11 and seven-year-old Prince Michael II, aka
Blanket - will be protected "like royalty" by a team of six
bodyguards.
Jackson family lawyers have drafted in the team at a cost of
ý750,000 a year to look after the children, who are being
looked after by Michael's mother Katherine.
