Astonishing audio has emerged of a never-before-broadcast interview that Michael Jackson gave to Piers Morgan in 1999 in which he says he would 'slit his wrists' before ever abusing children.
Jackson insists he 'wouldn't care to live' if it weren't for children and rails against the Press for being 'so hard on me' in the way it covered his relationship with youngsters.
The singer continued, in audio shown on Good Morning Britain today: ‘Everything I do, every song I write, every song I write, they try to use it against me and it’s so upset, I’m so upset about it.'
