Lisa Marie Presley has given her first — and only — interview about the 2009 death of her former husband, Michael Jackson.
On Thursday’s “The Oprah Winfrey Show,” the world will know about the devastation Presley felt when the “King of Pop” succumbed to acute Propofol intoxication in June 2009.
“Do you think you could have saved him?” Winfrey asked in a clip made available by the show on Wednesday.
“I think that was a train heading in a certain direction that no one could have stopped,” Presley said. “I’ve had to really get my head around that in order to stop the pain.
Winfrey asked Presley a host of questions about losing Jackson — including the parallel’s between Jackson’s death and her father, Elvis Presley’s death. The TV queen also asked Presley if she thinks family and friends let Jackson down.
“If he didn’t want you around, if you were going to make him confront something he didn’t want to confront, he could make you go away — including his own family,” Presley said.
Presley and Jackson were married for two years, from 1994 to 1996.
