Kin: Jackson 'binging' in Bahrain
By MICHELLE CARUSO
DAILY NEWS WEST COAST BUREAU CHIEF
LOS ANGELES - Pop star Michael Jackson's family fears his pill popping has spun "out of control" again and they're making plans to fly to Bahrain to stage an "intervention" rescue, the Daily News has learned.
"The family is in a state of emergency. They consider it a life-or-death situation," a source close to the family told The News yesterday.
Brother Randy Jackson reportedly is leading the drive to get Michael into rehab after fielding a long-distance call for help from Grace Rwaramba, the nanny to Jackson's children.
"Michael is binging again. Grace basically said she can't handle him alone," the family source said. "The family is in a tailspin."
Randy and other kin have asked pop princess Janet Jackson to finance the costly rescue mission. Michael Jackson, 47, has been holed up in Bahrain since shortly after his acquittal on child-molestation charges last June.
The singer's rep, Raymone Bain, called the report "a total lie" and claimed Jackson "was on the phone as we speak" directing other musical artists in an L.A. recording studio.
"He is clear-headed and articulate. He is not on drugs. It's false," Bain said.
The King of Pop recently turned up in a ladies room in a Bahrain shopping mall wearing a women's head scarf. His rep said it was all a "mistake."
The tarnished pop idol reportedly has popped the anti-anxiety drug Xanax as well as potent painkillers in recent years, sources say.
"It's a sad, sad story, and if this is how his life ends, it couldn't be more tragic," said former Jackson family pal Stacy Brown, who chronicled the singer's past drug woes in "Michael Jackson: The Man Behind the Mask."
The singer went to rehab at least once following 1993 child molestation allegations, and he reportedly resisted a family intervention attempt in New York in December 2001.
"He told them, 'I'll be dead in a year - leave me alone,'" the family source told The News.
