Michael Jackson's secret retreat in Ireland

[@Livinglife57]

I'm not Irish, but i love you Irish people and especially for hiding Michael so well and letting him enjoy some peace and relative freedom. yes i too reckon that if he had stayed and lived in Ireland he would still be alive today.

[@gaa1019]

I know I’m replying 12 years later but why not 😂 Michael loved Ireland because we didn’t hound him and the paparazzi didn’t torment him. He even went shopping in kinsale (a local town) in his pyjamas and no one bothered him.

[@irishcountrygirl78]

So sad he went home because he missed his mum, he should have had her come live with him over here, his mum would have loved it. The children would have had normality too. He could still record and have best of both worlds. I loved that the locals were telling the paparazzi the wrong directions, not surprised though. Poor man was being witch hunted by them. The oppressed Irish will always protect those being attacked unfairly as we were for centuries ourselves. Anyone we class as our own we'll protect. Michael was under that protection. He should have stayed. 😢

[@claudiux9]

God bless Ireland!!!!! Thanks for letting Michael to experience "normal life"

[@ananyashree7999]

Really warms my heart when Paddy's on about his children and MJ's playing together and how they all became friends. The feeling of the biggest musician in the world staying in a house in the Midlands is weirdly hilarious to me. Thanks for coming to Ireland, Michael. We wish you stayed!

[@pyt7778]

Beautiful words❤

[@stephanieking1045]

MJ on drums. He played piano and a bit of guitar too. He should of remained in Ireland. Leaving was huge mistake.

[@TheDizzydiana]

What a nice man Paddy is.Thankyou so much Paddy.You provided the best medicine ever for Michael.Peace and tranquility,How happy Michael and his kids must have been.This time must have been most precious.Paddy this must have been the most amazing time of your life

[@VenemiesTech]

How how I wish he would have stayed there. He was getting stronger and better but when he went back to America things went downhill again. Had he stayed there he would be alive and well right now and releasing new music.

[@kate_numberz]

THANK YOU IRELAND for looking after him ♥️♥️☘☘😭😭

[@MrMjhealtheworld]

Brilliant video. Thank you so much. And thank you Paddy for giving Michael the great opportunity to live peacefully in your beautiful country amongst your beautiful people. That was really great to watch and see. Thanks again for the upload.

[@tearsorrain3073]

I'm so proud to be from Ireland. I love you Michael xoxoxox

[@TheAngelskye66]

God bless you for giving Michael this time to be with his family outside of prying eyes.Thanks so much for sharing,loved it!!

[@Ograws]

He should have stayed here. Made no sense if he was so happy there was no reason to go back to the USA where he would be surrounded by paparazzi and smothered by greedy business people :( RIP

[@pyt7778]

I think if Michael had stayed, he would still be with us! He was left alone, the locals were protective of him, yet across the pond he was surrounded by blood sucking leeches😪

[@itsmesezgin]

;/

[@dawnc511]

He probably had huge commitment with the evil ones behind the music industry. They owned him. He was no more than a commodity to them

[@philipwalsh7421]

charging him £30,000 a week is hardly charity

[@danielbrien6937]

It's not like he wasn't able to afford it 😂

[@MaryMikey1000]

wonderful place...the nature there is so beautiful... I miss Michael so much!!! Mj the king of Pop forever...forever in our hearts!!!

[@ANITACHEONG-em8mt]

Beautiful precious memories. God bless Michael soul forever presence, we are one people.

[@chiantikight9630]

It looks so beautiful!!!! I see why he loved it. I hope to visit Ireland one day. He should have never came back to the states

[@Nancykolangan88]

The way paddy mimics Michael voice 🥺

[@Melissa69-shh]

Don't worry about Paddy Dunning's mimicking Michael's voice, those stories are all made up

[@michael9000]

Nice. Looks like a nice peaceful place to be at.

[@MiJacFan1]

It sounds like Michael had a lot of support from the outlying community. Like the guy said, he should've stayed there. There would've been no Conrad Murray, no thieving paparazzi, and he and the kids could roam free w/o incident. He still could've made music and would've been happy.

[@betsareoff]

Great video. Thx for protecting MJ and giving him a place to breathe. Sounds like a wonderful place to hang out and chill.

[@kaylaskreations4973]

As a Irish person, I am honoured Michael found balance living in my home country, I wish he could have stayed longer so he could have been protected from everything back in America just waiting to destroy his life…I will forever miss you Michael

[@janiceyoung7273]

Thank you kindly for giving Micheal and his Children some peace of mind and somewhat of a normal life.

[@jar3439]

How wonderful to know he had that 🙂

[@merlinaaparta3888]

Perfect and great place for MJ refreshing and people of Ireland is so nice kind hearted thank you so much for caring MJ

[@djbillybopdjbillybop2817]

I remember when all that crap about MJ I was working and still today working on a Hospital radio Station and I was told they were going to ban MJ songs and I was and still am the PC and I said to my Boss straight out and he was in shock I said Fuck off and I did a 3 hour special that day and even now on his birthday August 29, and sadly on his passing on June 25, and my boss now never say a word.

[@shronazam276]

Good for you

[@fluffybunny7840]

MJ a beautiful misunderstood soul!

[@elizabethsestina7828]

Thank you Ireland

[@Beautiful_Sacred_Land]

oh fantastic. thanks for sharing. your man paddy is awful familiar...from teenage years back in early 1980's. good for you paddy and all :)

[@edwinaphetteplace1704]

This is so wonderful to hear & very happy that Michael & his children could be as normal as possible.... it's all for LOVE...🙏😇🙏♥️

[@sincerely_6362]

Well I understand that music sustained him. That he's a musician, a singer, he couldn't go too long without working on his music. But maybe he should have stayed, at least longer. One year, one year and a half. Get away for as long as possible so he at least recover his health! He could not eat and sleep well for the longest time. The peace he had in Ireland gave him the chance to take care of himself.

[@melpacetebautista75]

As paddy said if michaels stays there he wouldnt die... And i agree of what he said because thats placed was a peaceful and greeny have fredh air and michael can do what ever he wants live like a normal people... We missed you dearly michael.. Thanyou Paddy for giving and let mj live a normal life in time that he stayed tbere along with his kids.. Godbless you man.. ♥️

[@milivanilitiger]

What a beautiful nature!!!!!

[@BETHEBEST21]

Amazing people! MJ should of stayed. He seemed really happy here.

[@sunithadevi2502]

The world has lost a legend never come back Mj ur great

[@quietitude1296]

Yes he should of stayed there with his children and heal himself a bit longer😔

[@marilynwaaldijk_howell1320]

I know he loved it there. How could he not 😘😘❤🎀👼.

[@xtra8896]

2:22 he mimick Micheals voice😂❤️

[@sylviawade663]

I lived this such a beautiful place thanks for taking care of Michael while he was there I wish that he could have continued to stay there from the hell that he was put through in the united states.

[@franciscoj.8848]

Nossa! Michael só queria um pouco de paz. Que lugar lindo.

[@Hungrycaitwolf]

Thats nice to know.

[@lubystkaolamonola529]

Ireland is mostly green of grass and shrubs and silver/gray of the houses. Therefore Ireland represents Slytherin.

[@xtra8896]

On Prince interview they stayed in Ireland and it was 7,000 Acres....3x bigger than Neverland.He said,him and his dad were in a tranquil forest and they were taking pictures and while he was posing and his dad was suppose to take his photo,Michael sudden stopped,and Prince said he heard somekind of someone walking with chains...and his dad was frightened and started running away🤣🤣🤣 Micheal had a blast there...

[@bobo4665]

There are no forests in Ireland 😂

[@Eejitexplains]

Well I suppose us irish are the best

[@geetraldinha]

Telling you... Michael was born in the worst - racist country. Poor guy. Other countries love him better than his own country.

[@ronbroomhall5181]

the most innocent super star on the planet ... he just got to famous and people wanted to cash in with his fame

[@pyt7778]

It's sickening how cruelly Michael was treated in his lifetime, even in death, the parasites won't leave him alone!

[@thepintman6166]

RIP Ray 🙏🙏🙏

[@pyt7778]

Is that Michael at.0.55? Standing on the hill?

[@actionau]

I wonder if MJ enjoyed the music of The Corrs.

[@leonardcoughlan4150]

I am Irish and believe Ireland would have been a great permanent home for Michael and his family. The people looked after them very well and away from the paparazzi while they were here.

[@evelynrodriguez7568]

No not his father Joe he said his father in law, that was Elvis Presley! Go back and look

[@leonardcoughlan4150]

Paddy left two Elvis wax dummies in the woods so Michael could have bumped into his father in law twice. 😂

[@jojonoor7183]

God give us the beloved pp in short time like jesus died at 40yr same to mj 50 .After God seeing his beloved pp are going to change into evil he just take them because after the case of 2005 pp who were round mj said that he changed .RIP.mj gone to soon.

[@kikka7391]

Thank you Paddy and thank you all irish people who protected Michael privacy and his children , so he finally could have a relaxiing peaceful happy time to recover and enjoy family life without the nasty medias hunting! Surely if he could have stayed longer in Ireland he would have enjoyed more , get stronger and healthier.

Oh no! My initial comment got shadow-banned... I'll just have to post it again from a different account: "That story is fake. MJ was in Ireland around that time but had nothing to do with Paddy Dunning, it's just that the latter decided to take advantage of the anecdote to make up his story because the guy is a fraud.

It's true. The studio you see at 3:14 is the same studio Michael was in with Darkchild. There's a picture of them there.
