When Diana died suddenly in 1997, Michael was deeply affected. Some accounts even mention him feeling unwell upon hearing the terrible news. On the day of the tragedy, he cancelled a scheduled performance in Belgium, unable to go on stage.
A few days later, during a public tribute in Los Angeles, he declared: “I love you, Diana. Keep shining, you will forever remain the true people’s princess.”
Two sensitive souls united by their humanity.
Beyond music and fame, what truly brought them together was a shared sensitivity, a shared desire to help others despite their own difficulties.
Diana and Michael Jackson left an indelible mark on their era. And while their close bond was only revealed briefly in front of the cameras, their connection endured, discreet yet strong, nurtured by respect and a deep understanding of each other’s realities.
Like a shooting star, their friendship was brief, but it shone with an unforgettable intensity
