Lisa Marie Presley Writes About Michael Jackson

Pretty heavy and revealing words from one of the only people to have been close to two of the biggest music stars ever to have lived.

From Lisa Marie's MySpace page:

"I am going to say now what I have never said before because I want the truth out there for once.

Our relationship was not "a sham" as is being reported in the press. It was an unusual relationship yes, where two unusual people who did not live or know a "Normal life" found a connection, perhaps with some suspect timing on his part. Nonetheless, I do believe he loved me as much as he could love anyone and I loved him very much.

I wanted to "save him" I wanted to save him from the inevitable which is what has just happened."
