Michael Jackson Trial Brings Up Questions About the Death of Elvis

Michael Jackson had a strange fascination with Elvis. He gave himself the nickname the "King of Pop," a clear reference to Presley's "King of Rock 'n' Roll" moniker. He even married Presley's daughter, Lisa Marie. And now, in death, the two are linked by concert promoter Paul Gongaware, who has the dubious distinction of being tied to both legends' final, ill-fated tours.

Still, Jackson family lawyer Brian Panish noted that Gongaware linked to two legends when he responded to emailed condolence messages from friends, following Jackson's death. Gongaware wrote: "I was working on the Elvis tour when he died so I kind of knew what to expect. Still quite a shock."
When questioned by AEG's lawyer, Marvin Putman, Gongaware clarified that he didn't expect Jackson to die like Presley, rather he was referring to the shock of people losing their jobs due to the tour's cancellation.
