Would you write a book about your best friend/father/brother/mentor and say how your friend became drug dependent? For me that's no friend. Even if it were true, I wouldn't write that and sell my book to the world to read. I would write only good things and I would be a tomb regarding PRIVATE issues of someone else other than myself. No one has the right to spread around things that don't concern them.To me, that's no friend. Once they start speaking out about how dependent he's been, for me that's done. A true friend would never do that. Another "friend" showing him like a wreck. This will have no end.That's garbage plain and simple. I wouldn't say that about my best friend even if paid in millions. I'm full with all his "friends". After the war everyone is hero.
I can't read anymore, I am sorry, it hurts :cry:

Just hypothetical situation: he could be a drug addict, everything he/they say, but just for the sake of making people having a good image of my friend, I would shut the fuck up.I'm sorry for the rant.

AMEN to that! I couldn't agree with you more.
'They are trying to fuck me.' 'Who is trying to fuck you?' 'The Firm.' He was referring to his managers. He told me to get one of them on the phone...[Frank says he shouldn't talk to anyone on this condition but he grabbed the phone] 'I'm the biggest artist in the world,' he began. 'And you're treating me like this? You're supposed to be working for me, fighting for what I want and what's best for this album. You haven't shown me a marketing plan. I've been asking for a plan for six months and I haven't seen a thing. WHere's the plan? You're purposely trying to sabotage this album. You're fucking traitor....I'd never heard him raise his voice and yell at someone, but now he was screaming: 'Fuck you, fuck you, you're fired. Stay out of my life. If you don't believe in me, there are other people who do.' Basically he goes on to explain that Michael thought Sony and his Firm were in cahoots to scheme to get his Beatles catalog.

I'm full with all his "friends". After the war everyone is hero.I really do believe that Michael is in perfect agreement with every single line written in that book. It has been published for a reason and everything we read there is the honest truth.
He goes in to more detail and other stories of drug abuse but I found this one particular sad: "I had never seen Michael in such a state. Neve, ever in my life...I covered Michael's face with my jacket and loaded him into the wheelchair, and we all went upstairs: Michael in the wheelchair, Grace, Prince, Paris, the two other security guards, and I. When everyone started to pile into the room, I suddenly felt like I couldn't take it anymore and I blew up. 'Grace, Take the kids!' I demanded and sent them away. Security was trying to explain what had happened, but I didn't even let them get started. 'How could you let this happen?' I exploded. 'He can't even fucking talk. His kids were on the train with him! His kids saw this! Everyone get the fuck out of this room.'...I ordered some Gatorade from room service so Michael could start to hydrate. Then I turned to him and said, 'Why the fuck did you do this to yourself? What did you take?' Michael was honest with me. 'I was drinking vodka--and then I took a Xanax.' 'You're a fucking idiot for doing that in front of your kids,' I fumed. 'It wasn't in front of them,' he mumbled, which I guessed was possible...then Michael announced, 'They are trying to fuck me.' 'Who is trying to fuck you?' 'The Firm.' He was referring to his managers. He told me to get one of them on the phone...[Frank says he shouldn't talk to anyone on this condition but he grabbed the phone] 'I'm the biggest artist in the world,' he began.

If you don't believe in me, there are other people who do.' Basically he goes on to explain that Michael thought Sony and his Firm were in cahoots to scheme to get his Beatles catalog. He thought that Michael understood that he needed to get better. Michael did start to get better by getting the help of Dr. Farshchian who started to wean Michael off of the drugs by putting a patch on his stomach but then Michael eventually went back on drugs.Sorry if this all seems rambled.
If you tell them you're in pain, they have to treat you based on what you feel." Frank told him he didn't want to end up like Elvis but Michael said he didn't have a problem.
