Michael Jackson had a cancerous lesion removed from his nose — just two days before his tragic death.
“Last week, I had two real sources call me and say he’s getting surgery right now for removal of skin cancer off his nose,” biographer Diane Dimond and an unnamed family source told Us Weekly magazine.
“This is not a man who suffers pain well. He likes painkillers. So he got some from here, he got some from there — who knows how much.”
Jackson, 50, died Thursday (June 25) after suffering an apparent cardiac arrest at his home in Los Angeles.
The superstar singer was due to begin a series of comeback concerts with an appearance at London’s O2 arena on July 13.
“For the past 15 years, Michael always slept until 3 or 4 in the afternoon and was up all night,” the source said.
“When he started rehearsals for the tour, it totally screwed up his system.”
Jackson’s memorial will take place on Tuesday, July 7 at 10 a.m. at the Staples Center. The program will be simulcast at Los Angeles’ nearby Nokia Theatre.
