Michael Jackson's pals feared for his life | The Sun |News "Spoonbender" I can deal, but you put 'em together...and..."

FRANTIC Uri Geller found Michael Jackson so sedated on a trip to the UK he SCREAMED at him to wake up, The Sun can reveal.

Spoonbender Geller battled to rouse his pal after the superstar's aides fixed up a private visit to London Zoo - which had to be scrapped because he was so out of it.

Geller, 62, last night said of the hotel scare: "I was so worried about him. The trouble is nobody said 'no' to Michael and that was a big problem."

Fighting back his grief over the King of Pop's death, Geller revealed for the first time how he often found himself yelling at the singer over his addiction to prescription drugs.

Distraught

He said: "I told him - shouting and screaming - that he would die if things continued as they were."

His chilling revelations came as Jacko's Brit bodyguard also lifted the lid on the star's hell, exclusively telling The Sun how the singer:

FEARED the gruelling run of dates looming at London's O2 arena would be too much - telling him barely a week before he died: "I don't know how I'm going to do 50 shows."

VOWED in another phone call to quit the music business before it killed him - declaring: "I will not end up like Elvis."

PANICKED his entourage who had to beg him to eat - while he let "parasite" doctors pump him full of drugs.

HID the fact a woman nobody knew about was his secret long-term GIRLFRIEND.

Matt Fiddes - Jacko's former head of security and one of his most trusted aides - said of the mystery lover: "She wasn't a celebrity figure - absolutely not." He added sadly: "I imagine she is distraught right now."

Leeches

Martial arts expert Matt, 30, of Barnstaple, Devon, became one of Jacko's closest friends after meeting him thanks to Geller in 1998.

But he watched in horror as the singer hired a succession of private physicians.

Matt branded them "leeches" who had no qualms about dosing their troubled patient with sedatives to relax him - or "uppers" to lift his mood.

The cocktail of drugs left Jacko so weak he regularly slept for DAYS at a time and missed important business meetings. Disgusted Matt said:

Close_quote The doctors would change every few months - but there was always one there who would often claim just to be a friend.

It went two ways with what they did with Michael. Either he'd be totally sedated or they'd give him something which would make him incredibly high.

When that happened he would chant or be very overexcitable. He had clearly been given some kind of amphetamine-based prescription medication. That concerned the heck out of me.

If you give someone a sedative and then they take an upper, your heart doesn't know where to go. But none of his aides questioned it. If you did that you were thrown out from the court of "yes" men surrounding him.Close_quote

Recalling Jacko's 2003 trip to London, Matt said: "We had a suite at a top hotel.

"His doctor was there and in the evening he would make me double lock my hotel room door, which was right next to where Michael was.

"He would come in and clearly make sure I was out of the way while he was in the room with Michael.
