Michael Jackson wanted to go into hiding and was desperately trying to find money, a series of leaked answer phone messages apparently from the late singer have revealed. American journalist Daphne Barak, the author of Saving Amy a book on celebrity addictions, claims she was given the tapes by a member of Jackson's close circle of friends. "Some of Michael's closest confidants talked to me exclusively about his addictions - and provided audio tapes of Michael never heard before," Daphne explained. "These demonstrate different states of mind he was experiencing under the influence of pharmaceuticals." In one message, printed in the Sun, he said, "It is Michael calling.

I am hearing a lot of stories that (name withheld) is still trying to sabotage (inaudible) me and I want to be in a different environment and, um, I've found a place that I like and now (inaudible) I want to be away for a while where they can't find me. So please help me, help (inaudible) help me, and, um, more important than (inaudible). We are brothers."
