The star’s brother Jermaine says Jacko was due at New York’s World Trade Center on the day terrorists struck.

But he got to bed so late the previous night after a concert at the city’s Madison Square Garden that he failed to wake in time for the meeting.

Jermaine, 56, said the family were unaware Michael had overslept and believed he was in the Twin Towers when the planes struck.

He said: “We were just watching the planes go into the Twin Towers.

“But my mother had stayed up with him until four in the morning and he just slept.

“He missed his meetings, which was great and my mother told us that he was fine,”

Michael, known as the King of Pop, died at his home in California in 2009, aged 50, from a heart attack after taking a cocktail of prescription drugs.
