On the day Michael Jackson died, his monkey, Bubbles, was behaving erratically, throwing feces at the wall - perhaps a hint of something amiss.Bubbles, a Common Chimpanzee was rescued by Jackson from a cancer research clinic in Texas in 1985. The pair enjoyed a close relationship. Bubbles sat in for the recording sessions of the Bad album and escorted Jackson for the filming of the "Bad" music video.
During the Bad World Tour, he and the singer shared a two-bedroom hotel suite in Tokyo.Bubbles initially resided at the Jackson family's Encino home, but moved to Neverland Ranch in 1988, where he slept in a crib at the corner of Jackson's bedroom. Bubbles was allowed to use Jackson's private toilet, although the chimp sometimes wore a diaper.
Bubbles made a finger gesture towards Michael Jackson's doctor, Murray, coming and going from the mansion. The doctor usually arrived about 9 or 9:30 p.m. and would go upstairs to Jackson’s room, and Bubbles said he would not see him again before he left — sometimes late in the evening — but understood he was staying the night. In the morning, Bubbles screached like a banshee as the the doctor came down the steps carrying oxygen tanks.
At about 1:30 p.m. Bubbles saw security guards who told the people on two legs and other staff to leave the property because "Mr. Jackson was being taken to the hospital."
When he came outside, she said, ambulances were in the courtyard and a crowd had gathered.
As for Bubble's future, Jackson encouraged him to learn more sign language and to better potty train himself.
Using gestures, Bubbles appeared to say, "He was an inspiration to me - in an evolutionary kinda way."
’We were all praying, ‘Help Mr. Jackson be OK.’
"Then everyone was very quiet, and I started throwing feces.
