Michael Jackson. The Life of the King

An exhaustive biography of the King of Pop, a flawless investigation and brilliant narrative — a unique gift for true admirers of Michael Jackson's work! Why, after all these years, are we still so captivated by Michael Jackson? Is it due to his impressive talent? Of course, that's partly it. His voice is instantly recognizable, as is his signature "moonwalk." To say that Michael was incredibly successful in his career is to state the obvious. However, as outstanding and legendary as his artistry was, it was his personal life that intrigued many much more. This book is the result of more than 30 years of research and hundreds of exclusive interviews with Michael's closest family, including Michael himself during his lifetime. Cutting through all the tabloid rumors and gossip, the author seeks to understand what kind of person this music icon really was. The book includes behind-the-scenes stories of many milestones in Jackson's life: his legal and commercial battles, his marriages to Lisa Marie Presley and Debbie Rowe, his passions and addictions, his children, his untimely death. • Have you ever wondered if he was straight? Or gay? Or asexual? • Did you ever ask yourself: what the hell did that boy do to his face? • How did you feel when you first heard he was accused of pedophilia? So much has been said and written about Michael Jackson's life and career that it has become almost impossible to separate this man from the myth, and this book is a sincere and objective attempt to unravel all the twists and turns of a legend's life, to see behind the glamorous image, wealth, and fame of a regular person who also needed support and love.
