Michael Jackson’s manager told his kids
Michael Jackson’s manager has revealed the heartbreak of telling the star’s children of his death.
Frank DiLeo said speaking to sons Prince Michael, 12, and Prince Michael II, seven, and daughter Paris, 11, after the pop star’s passing on Thursday was the "most painful moment" of his life.
DiLeo spoke with the three children and Jackson’s mother, Katherine, at the UCLA Medical Center in Los Angeles, where Jackson was pronounced dead after ingesting a lethal mix of prescription drugs.
He said how he told them: "I’m sorry children, your father has passed away."
He added that Paris screamed: " ‘No, no, Daddy. No, no!’"
DiLeo added: "It was the single most painful moment of my life. I cannot tell you how difficult it was. Those children just fell to pieces. The emotions poured forth.
"Michael’s mother Katherine was with them. They were waiting there together for news. I think she feared the worst, but the children had no idea their whole world had ended.
"Whatever anyone thought of Michael, he was loved by those children, truly loved.
There is expected to be a custody battle for the children, with Katherine, 79, the children’s nanny, Grace Rwaramba and biological mother of the eldest two children, Debbie Rowe all likely to seek for custody. The children are presently in the care of Katherine.
