Michael Jackson's 'This Is It' stage manager, John Hougdahl, was concerned about the singer's deteriorating health before his death.

According to RadarOnline.com, the new evidence submitted by the late King of Pop's mother Katherine Jackson in his wrongful death lawsuit against concert promoter, reveals that Hougdahl warned promoters about Michael's health and advised them to hire a psychiatrist and a personal trainer to help him, Contactmusic reported.

In the email, which was sent to AEG executive Randy Philips, on June 19, 2009, Hougdahl wrote: "I have watched him deteriorate in front of my eyes over the last eight weeks."

"My laymen's degree tells me he needs a shrink to get mentally prepared to get on stage and then a trainer to get him in physical shape. He used to do multiple 360 spins back in April. He'd fall on his ass if he tried now," the email added.
