David Gest runs to Brit tabloid The Sun with his story of the King of Pop:
“There is nobody who knew Michael like I did. He was so gifted, it's hard for me to picture him gone. There is a whole side to him people never saw. For instance, people always think of him as talking in that high, soft voice, but he didn't really speak like that — it was a facade. Still to this day I am not sure why he did it. The Michael I knew talked like a real man, acted like a real man and shook a hand like a real man.”
