Michael Jackson's personal letter to ex wife Lisa Marie Presley to go under hammer

But a new letter to his former wife Lisa Marie Presley casts even more light on how he was struggling with the pressures of being one of the world's best-known celebrities.

The fragile King of Pop revealed 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.

"I truly need this rest. I haven't slept literally in four days now," the Daily Mail quoted the letter as reading.

'I need to be away from phones and business people. I must take care of my health first.'

In a schoolchild-style scrawl he also told her that he was 'crazy' for her, and signed off under his pet name Turd.


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

The highly personal message is expected to fetch up to 1,200 dollars when it goes under the hammer at the Julien's Auctions sale in Beverly Hills next month.

It is one of a host of fascinating items that are up for sale during the two-day celebrity memorabilia extravaganza.
