US popstar Michael Jackson addresses a press conference at the O2 arena in London, on March 5, 2009. Jackson's dismal public image in his final years meant his final concert series had no sponsors, despite record advance ticket sales for the 50 planned shows, according to a witness at the Jackson family's lawsuit against concert promoters AEG LIve.
Mary J. Blige wanted to marry Michael Jackson.
The ‘No More Drama’ singer was a huge fan of the late King of Pop and had a huge crush on him when she was growing up.
She admitted: ”As a kid, I was in love with Michael Jackson, and I just knew I was going to marry him someday.”
Mary nearly didn’t become a singer as she was so good at doing people’s hair and thought she would end up doing that full time.
She added to Us Weekly magazine: ”Growing up, I was the preferred hairstylist for all of my friends.
The star also talked about her backstage rituals and how she always has a soothing drink to help loosen and warm up her vocal cords before giving a concert.
She said: ”I still get nervous about singing. I drink tea with honey and lemon before every concert. And I need to have scented candles in all of my hotel rooms.”
