Grief-stricken fans of the King of Pop Michael Jackson are committing suicide over the death of their idol. This was reported by representatives of the singer’s largest fan club. At the same time, there are versions that he himself may have accidentally killed himself, unable to withstand the stress of rehearsals and wanting to reduce the number of planned concerts.
at least 12 fans around the world have committed suicide, unable to cope with the death of the superstar. The star’s lookalike from Russia, Pavel Talalaev, also slit his wrists after learning of Jackson’s death.
According to the tabloid, the star’s most famous Russian fan, Pavel Talalaev, was found in his apartment in Moscow with his wrists slit just a few hours after the news that Jackson had died. Fortunately, the ambulance arrived in time and saved the would-be suicide.
On Wednesday, the estimated date of the singer’s funeral was announced – Sunday, July 5. The official cause of his death has not been announced. The media previously reported that the King of Pop’s heart stopped after an injection of a powerful drug. Meanwhile, other versions are being put forward, in particular, that Jackson could have accidentally killed himself.
According to American writer Gerald Posner, those close to the singer told him that Jackson wanted to cancel several shows, but not pay a penalty. According to a person close to the singer, Jackson deliberately took a large number of powerful drugs in order to end up in the hospital. As the source notes, like a child who does not want to go to school, Michael believed that he could refuse his obligations if he had a doctor’s note.
According to the contract signed by Jackson for 50 shows, if the singer had canceled any concert, he would have had to pay a large fine. However, contracts usually stipulate that if the performer is hospitalized and cannot perform for health reasons, he does not pay a fine.
According to some reports, at least six other sources also say that Jackson was looking for ways to reduce the number of planned concerts. According to Posner, the singer mixed painkillers to get to the hospital. The effect of taking this cocktail led to fatal consequences.
