(MONTREAL) - In this final installment of Tim King's interview with Rock Promoter Pete Bennett, we learn about a Michael Jackson who, like Pete's longtime client John Lennon, who balled up with pressure over a non-stop busy life fraught with all kinds of issues and problems that ultra stars deal with.

Pete talks candidly about his longtime friend who probably had no plans to check out of this life early. In spite of his problems, Michael Jackson had an uncanny ability to bring people to the table and he worked with everyone from top musicians to the children of Africa to President Ronald Reagan himself, in order to make the world a better place. He also worked with LA gang members when creating the music video for Beat It. Pete says Michael Jackson simply wanted better for people, and he was generous in donating money to causes that make a difference. The King of Pop professed his love to his fans in ways that few performers do. He was a child star who was under major pressure from his family and much of that never subsided.
