More Shocking Details About The Life And Death Of Michael Jackson

We think it is safe to say that the unexpected passing of Michael Jackson has easily become the biggest story of the year. The trouble with stories of this magnitude is that the more time passes, the more details become exposed.

Today, more secrets about the personal dealings of the musical legend came to light as one of Michael's bodyguards, Matt Fiddes, opens up about the King Of Pop.

Aside from his claims of Michael's constant drug use, Matt's most shocking confession was that Michael had a secret girlfriend who he met on several occasions.

Really?????

When pressed for more specific details, Matt only replied: "I'm not going to name who she is, but I think the family were aware that there was someone special in his life who he loved and adored and had his ups and downs with. I don't know how long they've been a couple. I know she's been with him for some time in different capacities but … it's up to her if she wants it to come out or the family to speak about this very private information."

Interesting! Wonder who she could be?

As for the drug addiction, Matt admits it was a serious problem, one that he and the other members of Michael's security attempted to rectify by talking to the pop star and confiscating needles and such from his room. However, their words of help fell on "deaf ears" as Matt recalls certain "doctors" who would prescribe Michael his drugs as well as charge fans $20,000 for introductions to the pop idol.

"We went to great efforts to keep the doctors away," says the bodyguard. "But as soon as we said anything and it gets back to Michael, Michael would have a screaming fit that we were interfering with his private life, that he knew what he was doing and he was in denial."

But through it all, Matt hopes that it is his music that people will remember him for and not the drugs or any other terrible allegations against him: "I hope the general public will remember him for his music and the incredible talent that he had. He was always singing songs and writing lyrics. He lived and breathed showbiz."

Like Elvis, he'll be remembered for his music and his personal life.
