It has long been known Michael Jackson was leading a traumatic existence before his premature death.
But a newly released letter to his former wife Lisa Marie Presley casts even more light on how he was struggling with the pressures of being one of the world's best known celebrities.
The fragile Prince of Pop revealed he had not slept for days and needed to 'take care of my health first' in the document, which has been put up for auction.

In a schoolchild-style scrawl, he wrote: 'I truly need this rest. I haven't slept literally in four days now.
'I need to be away from phones and business people. I must take care of my health first.'
He also told his the lover that he was 'crazy' for her, and signed off under his pet name Turd.
Readers are given a sense of the warmth between the pair during their marriage, which lasted from 1994to 1996, from the letter.

This is it: The document is expected to fetch a pretty penny

The highly personal message is predicted to fetch up to $1,200 when it goes under the hammer at the Julien's Auctions sale in Beverly Hills next month.
It is one of a host of fascinating items that are up for sale during the two day celebrity memorabilia extravaganza.

Count the spelling mistakes and grammar errors. Poetry in motion (pun intended.)

[Seth82]

that handwriting looks like a child's

[NoNoRehab]

Looks like he really had to concentrate on spelling "THIS."

The title is confusing....I thought Michael really signed the letter with his turd and asked LMP to smell it. Geez....

[Fran]

Michael was a self involved little turd.

[Lalasnake]

I can't wait for the graphologists to analyze of this.

[Kathie_Moffett]

I wonder how fucked up he was when he scrawled this. If he was sober, that's just...just...ugh I have no words.

How is something like this up for auction?

Did Lisa Marie give it away? Was it stolen from her house? Was it found in the trash?
I'm confused.

[greysfang]

Batshit.

[HWBL]

I'd heard that she had put it up for auction, but has since retracted it.

Well, MJ called himself a turd and Prince Charles fantasized about being Camilla's tampon. There's plenty of nutjobs like that around, I guess.
