A private letter from Michael Jackson to his wife has been released

A private letter from Michael Jackson to his wife, Lisa Marie Presley (the daughter of Elvis Presley), has recently been published on the internet and has caused a lot of commotion. The letter—whose source of publication is unclear—had been put up for auction some time ago by Julien’s Auctions.

After learning about this, Lisa Marie asked Julien to cancel the auction, and it was canceled. Some fans have pointed the finger at Lisa and hold her responsible for the letter’s release, but perhaps that isn’t the case, because she was upset by the publication of the letter, and the auction was canceled due to her action.

In an official letter, Darren Julien, the owner of Julien’s Auctions, cleared Lisa Marie of this accusation and said that the letter had not been given to them by him.mj-letter-to-lisa.jpg

Because of its content, the letter has become known as the “insomnia” letter:

In this letter, Michael writes to his wife:

“I really need rest. I haven’t slept at all for 4 days. I need to be away from the phone and these business people. I have to think about my health first. I’m going crazy.”

Michael and Lisa married in 1994 and divorced two years later.

The media has turned this very ordinary private letter—written by a man to his wife—into a tangled mess, calling it “strange and bizarre,” while there is nothing strange in it. Some have pointed to Michael’s mention of insomnia as a pretext to bring up again his use of painkillers and his involvement with chronic insomnia, which ultimately led to his death.

Perhaps this letter was written at a time when Michael had been away from Lisa for a while, and he sent it to Lisa as a reason for doing so. Maybe the letter, on the surface, reflects Michael’s insomnia problem, but underneath it contains a message for Lisa. It could even be argued that Michael needed some time of silence and solitude in order to overcome his feelings or settle matters. In any case, this letter contains nothing strange, and it’s unclear why the media calls it “abnormal”—maybe because it hasn’t yet sunk in for them that Michael, like us, was also a “human.”
