Last Day-- The Family-- Testimonies

 

 

Liz Tailor:

"I'm not doing any interviews because the press has behaved too abhorrently towards Michael. Their reaction to everyone is that he is guilty," she added. "I thought the law said, 'You're innocent until proven guilty. ' I know he's innocent and I hope they all eat their hat. "
"He'll be in my heart forever, but it's not enough. My life is so empty," she said at the time of the singer's death, calling their friendship "the purest love" she had ever known.

 

 

Marlon Brando:

30th Anniversary Celebration 2001.

I am Marlon Brando, 100,000 children in the world have been killed with machetes, wake up blind, die of typhus, children of 6 years old do not have their big brother, who suffer from hunger. Think about what I'm saying, you don't care, it could be you, it could be your children. I worked for Unicef ​​for a long time, and I went to India for a film about child hunger. And I saw children in their last stages of hunger and it was sick to see, could you see a child dying like that in the United States, the United States does not want to move. And what is happening to do this evening Michael, raise money so that children are saved throughout the world.

"Michael Jackson is my best friend - or at least the only loyal friend left. Everyone else has betrayed me"

Brando's son, Miko Brando:

The last time my father left the house to go anywhere, for any outings, it was with Michael Jackson. He adored him. At Michael's, my father had 24 hours a day, a chef, a bodyguard, an assistant, cooks, a maid. he had carte white. Michael even bought a plasma TV for my father. The day he wanted to change the decoration of his room, Michael ordered him another one."

Michael was a great help to him during the last years of his life. I will be forever grateful to him. The last few days, my father had difficulty breathing and was on oxygen most of the time. He loved being outside so Michael invited him to Neverland. My father knew the names of all the trees and flowers but being on oxygen, it was difficult for him to walk around and see everything because the place was so big. So Michael had gotten a golf cart with a portable oxygen tank so he could drive around and enjoy Neverland. They were driving around the property: Michael Jackson, Marlon Brando and an oxygen tank in a golf cart."

 

Diana Ross:

“That's what I have on my heart this morning. "I deeply believe that Michael Jackson was, and still is, a magnificent and incredible force, to my eyes and to of many others," the statement said.
She did not hesitate to give her own person to take the defense, concluding with:
“STOP IN THE NAME OF LOVE. ”

James Brown:

The "Godfather of Soul" believes that the "King of Pop" is "victim of a set-up" to profit from his wealth.
James Brown said in 2005 that he thought Michael Jackson "is the victim of a staged coup like most artists. . . rather than appear before a court in California, he should give concerts in countries hit by the earthquake and tsunami of December 26 that left more than 173,000 dead. . . We need Michael. We need him here to entertain people. . . Michael could have been great here in concert. His talent is very attractive and people know him. One day I will be too old to travel and I want to see good artists spread the good word! "

 

Nijel Binns, is an artist in portrait sculpture and painter in the realistic tradition:

"Stand". That is the album by Sly and the Family Stone that in April 1969 helped shape the reality of my 13 year old mind. The lyrics says, "Stand. In the end, you'll still be you. One that's done all the things you set out to do." That December, I saw 10 year old Michael Jackson for the first time on the Ed Sullivan show as he and his brothers launched into a medly of songs which included "Stand", that he sang with much conviction. He and his brothers, as the Jackson 5 also sang "I Want you Back", and Who's Loving You". As I moved forward into adulthood and pursued my interests in action films and art, I followed Michael's rise to unparalleled heights in the field of music and entertainment. Never in my wildest imagination could I foresee that our paths in life would converge, and continue to intersect even till this day. I have a saying that, "Whatever we do in life should be as easy as breathing". Meeting Michael Jackson, working with him as his bodyguard, working for him to create special sculptures and awards, all of these things happened on their own. It is magical, as if everything with Michael was pre-planned, somewhere out there, beyond time and space. Best thing about meeting Michael it is that the magic has not stopped. Michael and his music has always been, is very much, and will forever be in my life.

 

Thank you for your tribute to Michael, Michael Jackson Fan-Club 3Generations.

 

Liza Minnelli:

Michael "changed the history of music and changed the way we make the stage. " He was inspired by the gesture of Mime Marceau to appropriate the famous "moonwalk" dance step that he reinvented.
Recalling his eternal passion for the world of childhood, Liza Minnelli recalls that "it's for childhood that he didn't have that he was so engaged with children. He was always present for charity.

 

Karen Faye, hairdresser and make-up artist:

The photo was taken at the top of a hill in Neverland by Jonathan Exley before the start of the 2005 trial.

A relationship of almost 30 years.
Children are attracted to him, like a magnet. I think they recognized a soulmate. They recognized his unconditional love and bonded with him because he was a child at heart. Children look at the world with fresh eyes and without fatigue. Michael had the ability to see the wonders of the world as they did.
When we went around the world, while everyone was out in restaurants and clubs, Michael's joy came from visiting orphanages and hospitals. I used to go with him. He would ask his team to contact them before his visit and find out what they needed. He would fill his vehicles with toys and sweets and we would leave. He built playgrounds, bought buses and provided vehicles, financed expensive operations for children.

Called to the stand as part of the trial between matriarch Katherine Jackson and promotion giant AEG.
She claimed that the promoters of the show had asked her to administer medication to the singer, which she said she always refused to do.
According to her, promoter Paul Gongaware, who later became a senior executive at AEG Live LLC, then brought in the doctors who had followed Michael Jackson during his Dangerous tour in 1993. There were always two doctors around Michael on this tour.

Michael Bush, his personal couturier:

He'll be remembered forever. A laugh recognizable among a thousand. “When he laughed, it was something. All we did for all these years was laugh," he said, "and it lasted for 25 years. "
He was the one who had the heavy task of dressing Jackson and helped the funeral home contractor place Michael in his casket, since everyone had left the room. “I spent 9 hours in this room with the makeup artist. I was able to say goodbye to him, few people were able to because the family chose to keep the coffin closed. It's a huge honour. "

He recreated Michael's favorite jacket, the pearl-covered jacket, worn to the Grammy Awards in 1993. He also put on his rehearsal shoes and an 18-carat gold belt set with stones.

 

Kenny Ortega, es concepteur de ses précédentes tournées, «History» et «Dangerous».

 

 

Kenny Ortega, conceptor of his previous tours, "History" and "Dangerous. "

Despite the false rumors, he was stimulated by this comeback after so many difficult years. Not nervous or anxious, because he knew everyone was counting on him. This fabulous show was our dream. It would be unique because it was unique. He would be amazing because he was amazing. I remember him saying to me at the beginning of our work, "I want a concert that pushes all the boundaries of the type and that people can't sleep after seeing it. "
I still remember that remark during rehearsals: "Kenny, we can do this, we have to do this. Let us not be afraid. ” These words helped me to conjure up the grief of his loss.
"Look at the end of Fred Astaire's career, it was the same thing. Photographers have largely contributed to her painting a disgusting image. I've been to Michael's, I've seen him at his house, playing with his kids, and I can tell you that I've never found a single piece of evidence of what was said about Propofol. "

Tarak Ben Ammar, former manager:

Called the doctors "charlatans" who took advantage of him during his life.

Geraldo Rivera reporter:

Michael Jackson did not abuse this child. That's all! The accusations against him are false. They were created by liars who want to rip off wealthy people.
"He's getting set up by a prosecutor who's willing to do anything, close to retirement, who has a purpose and who uses all the power he has to try to sink Michael.

Thomas Mesereau, Michael's lawyer for the 2005 trial:

The people who accused Michael Jackson made these stories up. The prosecution wanted to make it appear that other people had been assaulted. They all came to say it wasn't true.
The prosecution made up this story that Michael Jackson slept with young boys. Michael always said that he allowed certain families into his room. Keep in mind that this famous room is actually a duplex. The parents, the children. . . All slept in his room
He is one of the nicest people to represent. He is very kind, polite and very cooperative. It was an honor to work for him, and I consider him a friend.
