“When the Sheikh Met the King” is a new investigative ebook by Kuwaiti Award-winning journalist Motez Bishara. Not sure if some of you remember but at one point Michael Jackson moved to Bahrain and lived there for some time. It was all really bizarre and I mostly remember photos of Michael Jackson going around Bahrain dressed in an abaya.
The ebook which comes out today digs into:
- The fate of the Jackson / Sheikh Abdulla co-written song “I Have This Dream,” recorded at London’s Metropolis Studios for $2.2 million
-
Jackson’s battle with depression, brought on by his unpayable $270 million personal loan and custody battle with ex-wife Debbie Rowe
-
A drug-induced near-suicidal incident on a hotel room balcony in Oman
-
Details of Jackson’s $7 million expenses; the Sheikh provided everything from a flashy recording studio to a Ferrari
-
Jackson’s contractual break from the sheikh that led to his demise; AEG Live’s buyout resulted in the fatal O2 concert dates
If you want to get the eBook, it’s available for 3 KD on Amazon. Link

In spring 2009 I bought tickets on Viagogo to see Michael Jackson at the O2 Arena in the coming July. When I realized that I unfortunately couldn’t make it to London, I put the tickets up for sale on Viagogo and managed to sell them for TRIPLE what I paid for them… However the transaction would not be completed and I wouldn’t be paid until the buyer received the original physical tickets by mail.
On the afternoon of June 25, 2009 I got confirmation that the buyer had received the tickets. Then LATER THAT SAME NIGHT I turned on CNN to learn that MJ had died!!!
PS: I only got a refund for the original amount I paid
Did you refund the dude who paid you 3 times the original price?
I never got paid by him!!
