Prince Jackson, 16, told jurors his father had some tense phone calls with concert promoter AEG Live, sometimes ending with his father in tears.
“He would say, ‘They’re going to kill me. They’re going to kill me’.”
Katherine Jackson, is suing AEG Live for $40bn (£26bn) over her son’s death. The company has denied any wrongdoing.
The Jackson family claim AEG Live failed to properly investigate Dr Conrad Murray – the former cardiologist who was convicted of involuntary manslaughter in 2011 – and missed warning signs about the singer’s health.
Murray was caring for the singer as he prepared for his ‘This Is It’ shows. AEG Live said it did not hire or supervise Murray and has argued Jackson had prescription drug and addiction problems long before entering into any agreement with the company.
AEG Live also said it could not have foreseen that Murray posed a danger to Jackson.
Prince was 12 when his father died in 2009, aged 50, from an overdose of surgical anaesthetic propofol, ahead of a series of comeback concerts in London.
