Poor MJ

TRAGIC recordings of Michael Jackson in which he pleads for financial help and fears for his life have been leaked to the internet.

They show the star sometimes rambling and at other times virtually incoherent.

Desperate to seek refuge from his Neverland ranch and besieged by money worries, the star left a series of messages on a friend's answerphone alleging the mafia were out to get him and he sounds a bit delusional. Poor guy.

Weirdly Jackson's first wife Lisa Marie Presley also has revealed how, 14 years before his death, mj had predicted he would die in the same way as her father, Elvis.

After all this time I really was hoping we would let him rest in peace.
