Michael must be the most misunderstood man in the world.
He is such a nice guy behind closed doors. Once Ты get to know him, Ты see that - but for most people his huge international Профиль tends to get in the way.
Michael definitely wants to keep the mystery going. It's like a game to him. He knows he can go out and be photographed and the фото will be used worldwide.
During a visit to Лондон in 2002, Michael took my stepsons, Archie and Charlie, on a shopping trip to Hamleys toy store. He's a great guy and I didn't have any problem with it. It sounds like a dream come true to most kids, but the boys were too shy to choose anything expensive. They came Главная with just a few bits and pieces."
Matt Fiddes was introduced to Michael Jackson by Uril Geller after taking part in a fitness video alongside Geller.
One night Uri called me at 2am and сказал(-а) 'You have to come to my house now, или you'll regret it for the rest of your life.'
I made the three час trip from Devon to Sonning-on-Thames, Berkshire. My jaw dropped when I watched Martin Bashir's documentary at Uri's house. I couldn't believe my eyes when I walked into Uri's living room and Michael Jackson was sitting there on the sofa.
Michael mentioned he was looking for a bodyguard in the UK and asked me to keep in touch. From then on I was his bodyguard on trips to the UK."
Amazingly, Matt was present at the Renaissance Hotel in Лондон in 2002 when Martin Bashir pitched Michael Jackson the idea for his famous and so very controcversial documentary.
Martin told Michael it would be the best thing he could do for his career.
It was supposed to be about the Музыка and Mike's children were to be kept out of the final cut. Of course it was nothing of the sort and my jaw dropped when I watched the Показать at Uri's house.”
During filming for Martin Bashir's documentary, Matt also worked for Michael Jackson, who tried to escape the press:
Michael would come up with elaborate plans to escape the crowds. He asked me to dress up like him to distract the Фаны and he would sneak out the back door. He produced white socks, a military-style куртка and sunglasses for me to put on. The US security team of four bodyguards came with me through the front of the hotel. People were grabbing my hands and talking to me as if I was their hero. Meanwhile Michael snuck out the back with one bodyguard and had about 20 минуты of hassle-free browsing before he was recognised.
Another time, Michael and I ordered a takeaway карри and escaped to Uri's house in Berkshire. I had to pinch myself when I was sitting on the floor with the King of Pop eating a карри and watching Bruce Lee movies."
Despite the excitement, Matt's memory of the time is tinged with sadness. During the same period his mum, Majella Norris, was diagnosed with breast cancer and дана just six months to live. But when Matt confided in Michael, the звезда didn't waste any time giving his stricken mum a call.
That really touched me.
Michael's a very sensitive human being and he'd ring my mum every день to see how she was coping.
He makes a big impression on everyone, and she really appreciated his best wishes. Thankfully Mum pulled through and is loving her retirement."
Like a comet
Blazing 'cross the evening sky
Gone too soon
Like a rainbow
Fading in the twinkling of an eye
Gone too soon
Shiny and sparkly
And splendidly bright
Here one day
Gone one night
Like the loss of sunlight
On a cloudy afternoon
Gone too soon
Like a castle
Built upon a sandy beach
Gone too soon
Like a perfect flower
That is just beyond your reach
Gone too soon
Born to amuse, to inspire, to delight
Here one day
Gone one night
Like a sunset
Dying with the rising of the moon
Gone too soon
Gone too soon
IN THE LOVING MEMORY OF RYAN WHITE

Sung to our hearts
Removed evil from our worlds with your sweet loving nature.
But behind your smile was both happiness and pain.
Ты carried the pain,
While we, oblivious, украл, палантин the happiness.
A луч, рэй of sunshine and in a class of your own.
This world ever trying to destroy your light, not worthy of any part of your life.
Yet Ты never saw it that way and gave us everything till nothing was left.
How could we have placed hatred on someone completely incapable of it.
In heaven now, Ты have been set free to live eternally where Ты belong. No pain will reach Ты up there, of that I’m sure.
Ты entered this world loved, left loved, and forever will be loved - what happened in between is unforgivable on our part but I pray that Главная at last it can be dealt with.
- Ты сказал(-а) Ты saw the face of God in children, we saw it in you.
R.I.P Michael.
