The ‘Rocket Man’ singer said the lunch took a turn for the worse when Jackson disappeared from the table ‘without a word.’
John alleges Jackson was later found in the cottage of John’s housekeeper, ‘quietly playing games’ with her 11-year-old son.
Elsewhere in the memoir, John summarized his thoughts of Jackson, claiming: “He was genuinely mentally ill, a disturbing person to be around.”
Although Jackson has millions of fans worldwide, his legacy suffered following allegations made in the 2019 documentary Leaving Neverland.
The doc, directed and produced by Dan Reed, focuses on Wade Robson and James Safechuck, who allege they were s**ually abused as children by Jackson.
