London - Pop superstar Michael Jackson said in an interview published today that Princess Diana used to telephone and confide in him.
The American singer says in an interview with the Mirror that he also knew Diana's companion, Dodi Al Fayed, and that made his grief worse when both were killed in a Paris car crash in 1997.
"They were a match made in heaven," Jackson said.
"[Diana] used to confide in me. She'd just call me on the phone and we would talk about everything that was happening in her life.
