A SECRET diary of the “King of Pop” reveals how Michael Jackson wished to be “the greatest ever” and “immortalized” shortly before his death.

Featured in Bad: An Unprecedented Investigation Into The Michael Jackson Cover-Up, a book by Dylan Howard, excerpts from Jackson’s diary reveal he wanted to become the “first multi-billionaire entertainer-actor-director.”

Jackson, who was 50 when he died in June 2009, wanted to earn $20million weekly and hoped to work with Cirque du Soleil, Nike, and in Hollywood.

The diary reveals that he wished to be “immortalized” like Charlie Chaplin and Walt Disney.

“If I don’t concentrate on film, no immortalization,” Jackson wrote according to the book, which was released on Tuesday.

Jackson was apparently planning on remaking classic films such as 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea and The 7th Voyage of Sinbad.

The diary also features Jackson’s concerns with the people around him.

He wrote how he wanted to hire an account and lawyer that he trusted and that he was suspicious of his manager, Tohme R Thome.

In the diary, Jackson writes also writes that he feared for his life.

“I’m afraid someone is trying to kill me,” he said. “Evil people everywhere. They want to destroy me and take my publishing company. The system wants to kill me for my catalogue…I’m not selling it.”

Howard claims in the book that the facts leading up to Jackson’s death do not add up to a suicide, however, “They certainly reveal an overburdened man who slowly killed himself through drug use. And those who surrounded him took advantage of his helplessness.”

Jackson died after overdosing on propofol and benzodiazepine, given to him by his personal physician Dr Conrad Murray.

Murray is mentioned in Jackson’s diary, saying “Conrad must practice now, I can’t be tired.”

At the time of his death, Jackson was accustom to taking large doses of painkillers to the point where he became immune to his medication.

Howard’s book also references the allegations of sexual abuse toward young boys Jackson faced before and after his death.

In 2003, police raided Jackson’s Neverland Ranch in California and after confiscated computers, photographs, and pornographic magazines.

They also found books containing photos of children and young adults at different stages of being undressed, though Jackson was cleared of child abuse charges in 2005.

Last year the allegations against Jackson resurfaced in the docu-series Leaving Neverland, in which Wade Robson and James Safechuck claimed to be victims of the singer.The pair said they had been sexually abused as children at Jackson’s Neverland ranch in California.

They have alleged Jackson abused them from the ages of 10 and seven respectively.

In the documentary they revealed harrowing details of their alleged ordeal.

They separately sued Jackson’s estate about six years ago and both lawsuits were dismissed in 2017.

But at the end of last year it was announced a tentative ruling was issued by the California Court of Appeal allowing them to pursue their case.

Due to a change in California law, the statute of limitations for sex abuse cases has been extended, allowing Jacko’s accusers to sue.
