Jillian Lane - Telegraph "He'd just sit there telling me just how stressed out he was," she recalled. Michael was a very sensitive guy and would hate what was usually written about him, especially around the time of his trial for child abuse in 2005. The last time we met was sitting in my white baby Merc pouring his heart out, it was very sad. I really felt for him. She claimed that she was never paid for her consultations with Jackson, though he showered her with presents: "One time it was a beautiful diamond ring, the next time he'd send a huge bunch of flowers." But, she claimed, the best gift he ever gave her, which made her "want to cry" whenever she thought about it, was when he agreed to sing for her. While we were sitting on the pier looking out to sea, he asked me: 'If you could wish for anything right now what would it be? I told him that I'd like him to sing something and he burst into a rendition of One Day In Your Life. Even after the star's death, Jillian Lane claimed to feel his presence: "I do feel his energy a lot," she told a reporter from Wales on Sunday. His energy is very strong, particularly when there's a problem with his family - I always feel his presence when Paris [his daughter] is being naughty for example. Jillian Lane was born in Splott, an unlovely industrial suburb of Cardiff, on May 9 1960, and grew up in Barry, where her father was a councillor for the Vale of Glamorgan. As a small child Jillian wanted to be a hair stylist, but after having her first out-of-body experience at the age of seven, she began to sense different gifts. Her grandmother had also been a medium and healer, and Jillian remembered being afraid of the old lady. But, over time, I realised I was just like her, that I had the same talents... When my father passed away I felt I had to embark on this quest to find out whether he was OK. It was then during a visit to the spiritualist church that I realised the power I had when I received a message from him that he was no longer scared. Soon afterwards Jillian Lane went into business as a clairvoyant, medium and healer in her own right, adopting as her mentor George Smith, a Welsh medium and psychic poet whose spirit guide is a young American Indian called Grey Owl. Over the years she claimed to have brought comfort to many people who had lost their loved ones and to have hundreds of testimonials proving her accuracy and professionalism. But apart from Michael Jackson, she steadfastly refused to divulge the identities of her other Hollywood A-list clients, "because I sign an agreement with them not to [and] it wouldn't be right." After Jillian Lane was taken ill with non-alcoholic liver disease earlier this year she told friends that she was dying. After spending six weeks in a hospital in Los Angeles she returned home to Barry, where she continued to offer her services to the people of South Wales. But her predictions of her own demise proved correct. Jillian Lane's marriage was dissolved. She is survived by a son. Jillian Lane, born May 9 1960, died October 9 2013
