Deepak Chopra has emerged as a friend and consultant to Michael Jackson. It appears that the friendship between the pop icon and the self-help guru goes back over 20 years. Chopra notes on his blog post reflecting on the death of Jackson that he last spoke to him just two weeks ago.
From reading his blog post Chopra sounds just as bewildered about the sudden demise of Jackson as the rest of the world. He echoes the thought also posted online earlier today by Lisa Marie Preley that somehow Jackson felt like he would indeed go out “like Elvis.”
It sends a shiver to recall something he told Gotham: “I don’t want to go out like Marlon Brando. I want to go out like Elvis.” Both icons were obsessions of this icon.
Whatever the cause of death turns out to be for Jackson, the comparison to the legendary king of rock and roll, Elvis Presley, is stunning. Both Presley and Jackson became legends in their own right, taking their music and fans to musical places they had never experienced before. You can check out Chopra’s complete thoughts on Michael Jackson’s death on his blog over on Beliefnet.

I really really am saddened by the death of my idol and friend Michael Jackson. I will miss him very much! I wish I could have, in some point of time, met him. I would have just hugged and thanked him for all the joy he has bought in my life! I PRAY FOR HIS FAMILY AND ESPECIALLY HIS KIDS! I love you Michael Jackson! RIP!!! monique moore

I'm also saddened. To bad a scum like this guy has to jump in to grab some media attention. If you're so wonderful, why didn't you help the guy?

Chopra was pretty vocal about doctors acting as drug pushers. I hope this gets him some attention. He is risky a lot by his statements. As soon as the drug industry gets wind of his comments, we won't see him anymore.
