Aug 4 (IBNS) King of Pop Michael Jackson displayed signs of cracking up over his looming London gigs - just 13 days before he died, the Sun reports.

A psychiatrist, who found that the singer appeared close to a nervous breakdown, said: His behaviour was disturbingly erratic - one moment he was excited and almost manic about his spectacular comeback, the next he would lapse into silence while staring into space.

Sources close to inquiries into Jackson’s death said the star was clearly not mentally or physically equipped to cope” with his 50-night run at the O2 Arena.

Sources added: Michael was always adamant the show must go on - to the point where he was obsessed with the idea he would be ‘killed’ if he couldn’t go on stage. He had been backed into a corner and was falling apart under the strain.

The psychiatrist, who proffered to remain anonymous, saw Jackson twice.

The psychiatrist told other Jackson medics, including skin specialist Dr Arnold Klein, that the follow-up visit on June 12 caused him “deep concern”.

Meanwhile his mother Katherine, 79, voiced her suspicions about his death.

She told US talk show host Geraldo Rivera: All I know is my son is dead, and I don’t think he just died of natural causes or whatever. He’s too young. Something happened. I don’t know what it was.

Jackson wanted to make a new Spider-Man movie, it emerged last night. Marvel Comic legend Stan Lee, 86, said they spoke about it at the star’s Neverland Ranch - and Jacko might even have played the main role, it was further learnt.
