Jackson had been preparing for 50 sold-out concerts at London's O2 Arena, slated to begin on July 13. It was an endeavor that sources said had put the pop legend under an incredible amount of stress. Those close to Jackson describe a hectic lifestyle. "I think it was his lifestyle in general," said Stacy Brown, co-author of "Michael Jackson: Behind the Mask". "He had a lot of medical issues. Most of it was brought on by himself." Kevin McLin, a friend of the family, agreed that the stress that Jackson put on himself lately led to burnout, which could have contributed to his demise. But Brown described another factor that may have contributed to Jackson's failing health. "I think we will find that drugs played a major role, prescription and otherwise," Brown said. "From what I understand, there was even some heroin use. There was a lot of morphine. A lot of different drugs."
