Derek Clontz, of derekclontz.com, says he spoke to William Stern, an Elvis expert, who told him that Michael faked his own death to “escape the crushing pressures of life in a fishbowl – and…is now socked away in an undisclosed location in Eastern Europe, possibly Hungary, far from the clamor of paparazzi covering his “autopsy” and “funeral” in southern California…once he’s rested and ready, [Michael] will blow the lid off his own hoax – and embark on the most spectacularly lucrative concert tour in the history of rock ‘n’ roll”.
Clontz further adds that, according to Stern:
“Michael is following in the footsteps of a man he greatly admired – another rock icon, Elvis Presley, who also faked his death and is still alive, and in hiding, today,” William Stern, who has written extensively on Presley, told me exclusively.
“Unlike Elvis, however, Michael is withdrawing from his celebrity before it destroys him. And he also is planning, once he has rested and regrouped, to stage a comeback unlike anything in rock history.
“Make no mistake, Jackson is a genius, both as a performer and as and showman and marketer and promoter. Remember when he made an offer to buy the remains of The Elephant Man from a British museum just to get the publicity?
“Remember when he reputedly was trying to find a way to live forever by spending hours in a hyperbaric chamber?
“If you look at his history, at some of the stunts he’s pulled to keep himself in the public eye, to maintain a sense of mystery about who he is and what he’s all about, the idea that he would fake his death makes sense.
“Let’s face it – Michael has been vilified by many in the press and by people who just don’t like him. He’s been accused of pedophilia. He’s been called ‘Wacko Jacko’ and a ‘Pop Weirdo’.
“Yes, he’s got billions of fans. Yes, he’s sold perhaps a billion records and CDs. But for all the love he gets, there are those who have been and continue to be unkind, and mean-spirited.
“I’ll make you a bet. If it takes six months, if it takes a year, if it takes two years, it doesn’t matter: When he’s rested and ready, and pulls the curtain up on his faked death, the world is going to stand still.
“With all due respect to the President of United States, Michael on a ‘Back from the Dead Tour’ will make Barack Obama look like a B-List celebrity.”
Stern’s sources say Jackson has been planning his escape for at least 16 months, but nobody, not even those who are closest to him, took him seriously, the expert said, “until now.”
“It’s unclear where he has gone – he mentioned South America, Canada, Russia, Kenya, Japan and Australia over the past year … all smokescreens, no doubt,” continued Stern.
“The best information I have suggests he is in Eastern Europe, in a medieval castle, possibly in Hungary. Right now, my sources are saying, ‘Leave him alone. Let him rest. Give him time.’
“They say that fans can help him recover by showing their love and respect for him. They say, ‘You better believe he is watching all the coverage.’ And they say fans can give Michael a boost by flashing peace signs to cameras – like he was famous for doing – and telling reporters they know he is alive.’”

Adrian…that is true!…anything but the truth, is the news story….but now this: “did Michael Jackson sleep with an underage girl?”…..Mr. Wagner said he did…NBC “DateLine” 2004….and Mr. Wagner was the head of security at the “NeverLand Ranch”….now if MJ was not gay, this was a real bad thing…did he fake being gay?…..did He fake everything?…..and where is the Family?….are they just a bunch of fakes?…..You can’t sleep with boys, and say your not gay, so it is OK……and next sleep with a girl, and say ??? what did he say?
If the Doctor was faced with real prison time, we would be hearing a lot of hidden facts being told by the Doctor…..California is entertainment driven, and right now California is on it’s knees……just like the “OJ” trial, if justice is bad for the economy….forget justice!……if the glove don’t fit ? we won’t have a riot……if the Doctor is forced to talk, we won’t have a “Michael Jackson Boom”….
Actually Dawna and with all due respect, you will see that Murray, will never be prosecuted. If MJJ is not dead there is nothing to prosecute Murray for! It’s all a hoax, it’s all been planned…it will come to light.
One thing for sure though Conrad Murray will never be prosecuted. That will be your sign that MJJ is not dead. You can’t prosecute a person for manslaughter, murder or anything else, when the supposed victim is alive!
Just watch and see!
But this would mean that the coroner, the hospital, the police even…everyone would be in on this…the death hoax of the century.
Could it be possible????
I know that this is an old post now, but I couldn’t help adding one more comment, and that is the “hoax” of the century is a big ZERO. What it does do is make for very entertaining reading and that’s about it. Michael loved to be mysterious and was all about wonderment as we all know. He was magical, almost other-worldly on stage (sadly, I never had the chance to see him perform live…:-(…) but he was not so magical off stage…other than for his own personal charisma. He often came across in later years as an unfortunate caricature of himself. That was always sad, even heartbreaking. (He sometimes reminded me of the unusual looking, yet sympathetic lead character in E.T. who was endlessly pursued and just wanted to go home to a “normal” life, and found “salvation” in the friendship of children. I’m sure MJ saw this movie. I wouldn’t be surprised if he identified with E.T.’s plight.) That aside, I’m sure he would love to have been able to “create” such a dramatic exit, only to make an equally dramatic entrance, back onto the world stage. He literally would have the world on their feet with thunderous applause with such a performance. Magic and wonderment on a truly grand scale!! It would be totally irresistible, if it weren’t so completely improbable and impossible.
Like you mentioned, Polly, too many people at high levels would have to buy into it and collectively keep it a secret. If that were the case, what would be in it for them? Money? Perhaps. One could argue the estate is making a lot of money now since Michael’s alleged passing and that would or could have been predicted in advance. And if that’s the case, who was the autopsy conducted on? Who did the mortuary staff prepare for burial? Who’s in the tomb??? There would have to be a whistle-blower eventually. At the end of the day, even if Murray (God forbid) is acquitted, it won’t change the fact that Michael is dead.
As was once said of Elvis, Michael “has left the building.”
And IF this is a hoax, and Michael is reading these posts, I’d like to say, “Hi Michael, bravo!! You did it!!”, and I’d ask if there’s a way to get advanced tickets to the show, with backstage passes of course, when he comes back!!…;-)
R.I.P., MJ.
This is just a sick claim to get attention from the public, A doctor may be facing jail time for the death of Michael, based on a hoax, you’d have to be ten years old to believe this hogwash story!
