New reports are saying that Michael Jackson was so focused on getting y for his upcoming 50-concert tour at London’s 02 Arena that he often forgot to eat during the day. As a outcome, says Randy Phillips — the promoter behind the concerts — Jackson’s caloric intake fell to dangerous levels. To get the singer something nutritious, heanddirector Kenny Ortega often cut Jackson’sfoodupinto bite-sized potions so that he could be fed quickly. From the spread,

“However, despite trying their level best to keep Jackson healthy, the ‘Thriller’ hitmaker survived on just one meal a day. Phillips revealed that Jackson continued his grueling rehearsal schedule eating meager portions of his favorite dishes-vegetarian lasagna, steamed broccoli, nut loaf or tofu with chilli

sauce.“He used to forget to eat considering he was so focused and Kenny Ortega and I used to cut up his food and physically feed him,” the Mirror quoted Phillips as saying.”

In his 1988 book, Moonwalk, Jackson says, “I’m a vegetarian now and I’m so much thinner. I’ve been on a strict diet for years. I feel better than I ever have, healthier and more energetic.”

According to some news sources, Jackson’s cause of death may have been linked to the very effective drug Propofol — which is often used to place a patient under anesthesia before surgery. Full autopsy results are expected to take several weeks.
