Michael Jackson’s spirit sought forgiveness from his former wife Lisa Marie Presley in a séance, her friends have claimed.

Karen Faye, formerly the star’s make-up artist, said she and Lisa Marie made contact with the singer using a psychic.

“He seemed to be on a mission to reach out to people in his life and be forgiven. Michael spent his time explaining his faults and wanting us to forgive him. He seemed unsettled,” the Sun quoted Karen as saying.

“He seemed more jovial with Lisa. The psychic turned to me and said Michael is telling me, ”You took such good care of me, and I am so sorry I hurt you so much”. He said he should have listened to me more. It hit me straight in the heart,” she added.

Jackson, who died aged 50 last year, married Elvis Presley’s daughter in 1994 but the pair parted ways after 18 months.
