Uri Geller, 62, a medium, a phychic spoonbender and a close friend of Michael Jackson, poses for the Associated Press at his mansion outside London, Thursday July 2, 2009. Geller, a former Jackson confidant, said Thursday he tried to keep Jackson from abusing painkillers and other prescription drugs, but others in the singer's circle kept him supplied.

"When Michael asked for something, he got it. This was the great tragedy," Geller said Thursday.
