Michael Jackson -- AP
The star that will live forever in spirit, Michael Jackson allegedly believed he would be murdered for his music catalogue according to his former advisor Leonard Rowe. In a new interview, Rowe alleges that this was a major source of concern for the King of Pop.
According to Radar Online, Rowe said that Jackson once told him, "They want my catalogue Rowe -- and they will kill me for it.”
He went on to say: "Michael always felt he would be killed for his catalogue. When he was speaking about it, I paid him no attention but as the latest events have unfolded, I couldn’t help but think about his statement -- and it still haunts me today.”
Rowe said of Jackson's catalogue: "Michael’s catalogue was very valuable... and people wanted that catalogue.
It is one thing that Michael told me, personally, that he would never sell it.
Michael said he wanted to keep it for his children, no matter what type of financial situation he across, he would always hold onto his catalogue.
People wanted that catalogue, but he would not relinquish it, at all.”

H GOD BLESS & KEEP YOU!
Rowe is just another one of those people riding behind on Michael's saddle wagon for their own gain. Rowe was fired by Michael Jackson-that speaks for itself.
SO TRUE! it also includes the beatle catalogue
I truly believe this. Looking back, when Michael purchased those catalogues is when the first of his problems started. Then when he stood up to Tommy Motola and claimed that Tommy Matola was the devil, that's when the child molestation allegations began. But it wasn't just Tommy, it was a lot of Big Execs that wanted those catalogues and as Michael stated he was not going to sell them to anyone. As quiet as it's kept, I'm sure Tommy Motola, started those allegations and also unbeknownst to Michael, Motola or some other high power exec, sent someone into MJ's inner circle and had him murdered. The entertainment industry is a dirty game. It's about money these days, not about the music and that was another thing Michael had made clear. He also stated at his announcement for the THIS IS IT tour that he was going to make an annoucement at his concert that was going to bring light to what was really going on. Sadly he was murdered before he had a chance to speak out.
I BELIEVE WHAT ROWE IS SAYING IS TRUE; I KEPT SAYING THAT SOMEONE OTHER THAN THAT DOCTOR HAD SOMETHING TO DO WITH MICHAEL'S DEATH & IF YOU LOOK AT THINGS, WHY DID THESE EXECUTIVES THAT MICHAEL FIRED YEARS AGO COME BACK INTO THE PICTURE AND THEN THEY SOLD HALF OF MICHAEL'S MUSIC & BACK CATALOGS TO SONY?? COME ON YALL KNOW THAT TOMMY MATOLLA AND BIG EXECUTIVES OVER AT SONY HAD SOMETHING TO DO WITH MIKE'S DEATH ALSO.I HAVE BEEN SAYING IT FOR THE LONGEST. THAT MICHAEL WAS KILLED BY SONY AND TOMMY MATOLLA.
Let me find out any of those hood rats over @ Sony or Motola dirty ass had sumfin 2 do with Mike's death, the gangsters are coming 4 ya Motola so u better tell ya boys over there at Sony!!
The executors jumped on this wagaon just a little bit too fast after Mike's death, and Mike fired them years agao. Dr. Murray had no business admin that drug to the King of POp, but I believe Motola dirty ass and Sony had Mike killed. Just let it come out and see what happens.
He was killed for the money and they were after that catalog from the very beginning. A billion dollar catalog made him a target all along and when they couldn't beat him down with the false child molestation set ups hoping he would knock over himself seeing as frail as he was and wouldn't go to prison.
When that fell through and justice worked they came up with this scheme conning him into it by selling the fact that it would pay his debts and so on.
Problem was the death came accidentally before they wanted it to is my theory. They were probably hoping the tour would kill him along the way or the default the Confidant here talks about, as a couple ill timed pills and propyphol killed him accidentally, which they were probably pleasantly surprised about, knowing with a couple nudges here and there it would get pinned on the unwitting Dr who took the irresistible 150 thou a month bait.
Then Sony could sue the estate for his part of the catalog because of the loans on it.
I believe it! The music industry is ruthless...and some folks behind the scenes are of that underworld...
(continued) the mob people...no secret they have had and probably still have an influence in the music industry...
Somehow I rather Michael would just sold his catalog to Sony and earn like $1 billion in cash so they could leave him alone. I know that he doesn't do things for money, but he basically was saying to Sony and those devils that "Kill me to get it." Then they really killed him. I wonder if at the moment of his death, did he ever think that he should have just sold them and get the money.
I believe that if Michael continued to lay low and not planning to do a comeback concert at all, he would be gradually forgotten by the public but still worshiped by ppl who love music. I rather him stay that way, but my friend who had been a major MJ fan said she thinks Michael would risk his life to do a comeback concert.
It is not worth it Mike, your life is more valuable than money, even without the money or status, you still have lots more to offer to this world cuz of your good heart. And all of your “soldiers of love" are still here for you.
Michael told us who the conspirators are and what they wanted shortly before he died. "There is conspiracy all around me." "They want money." Who were the people around him right before he died? Who has his money?
I rest my case.
