Michael Jackson reportedly forgot to eat as he struggled to rehearse for his London shows, it has been claimed.
The King of Pop died on June 25 after reportedly suffering a heart attack, and before his death, he was preparing to perform 50 shows at London’s O2 Arena.
His tour promoter Randy Phillips said the star often forgot to eat, and he and choreographer Kenny Ortega cut the star’s food up so he could eat it quickly.
He said: “He’d forget to eat as he was so focused, and Kenny and I used to cut up his food and feed him.”
Despite living on a low-calorie diet, Randy said: “Frail, he certainly wasn’t. He was always very thin but not to the point where he couldn’t perform.
“He really kicked into high gear and was totally engaged in the last two weeks. Before that, he was nervous and not really coming to rehearsals. But that was how he wanted to do things.
“It was like when you revise the day before an exam – that was the way he operated. Michael did not have a gruelling schedule – he had Michael’s schedule. He was so talented he didn’t need to rehearse much.”
