MICHAEL JACKSON

2. • Michael Joseph Jackson (1958-2009), was an American recording artist, entertainer, and
businessman.
• Jackson is recognized as the most successful entertainer of all time by Guinness World
Records. His contribution to music, dance, and fashion, along with a much-publicized personal
life, made him a global figure in popular culture for over four decades.
• “MJ’’ the eighth of ten children in an African American working-class family who lived in a small
3-room house in Gary, Indiana, an industrial city near Chicago. His mother, Katherine Esther
Scruse, was a devout Jehovah's Witness, and his father, Joseph Walter "Joe" Jackson, was a
steel mill worker who performed with an R&B band called The Falcons. Jackson had three
sisters: Rebbie, La Toya, and Janet, and five brothers: Jackie, Tito, Jermaine, Marlon, and
Randy.
• “My father was a management genius. But what I really wanted was a dad.”

3. SON & DAD
• Jackson had a troubled relationship with his father, Joe. Joseph acknowledged in
2003 that he regularly whipped Jackson as a boy.
• Jackson first spoke openly about his childhood abuse in a 1993 interview with Oprah
Winfrey. He said that during his childhood he often cried from loneliness and would
sometimes get sick or start to vomit upon seeing his father. In Jackson’s other high
profile interview, Living With Michael Jackson (2003), the singer covered his face
with his hand and began crying when talking about his childhood abuse.
• Jackson's father was also said to have verbally abused Jackson, saying that he had
a fat nose on numerous occasions. In fact, Michael Jackson's deep dissatisfaction
with his appearance, his nightmares and chronic sleep problems, his tendency to
remain hyper-compliant especially with his father, and to remain child-like throughout
his adult life are in many ways consistent with the effects of this chronic
maltreatment he endured as a young child.

4. • In 1964, Michael and Marlon joined the Jackson Brothers—a band
formed by brothers Jackie, Tito, and Jermaine—as backup musicians
playing congas and tambourine. Jackson later began performing
backup vocals and dancing.
• Jackson later began performing backup vocals and dancing. When he
was eight, Jackson began sharing the lead vocals with his older
brother Jermaine, and the group's name was changed to The
Jackson 5.
• They recorded several songs, including "Big Boy", for the local record
label Steel town in 1967, before signing with Mo town Records in
1968. Rolling Stone magazine later described the young Michael as
"a prodigy" with "overwhelming musical gifts," writing that he "quickly
emerged as the main draw and lead singer.“
• The Jackson 5 "became a cutting-edge example of black crossover
artists... five working-class black boys with afros and bell bottoms,
and they really didn't have to trade any of that stuff in order to
become mainstream stars."

5. HIS SIDE
• In front of a full house of fans during a simulated concert
(filming for a Pepsi-coal commercial), pyrotechnics
accidentally set Jackson's hair on fire.
• He suffered second-degree burns to his scalp and underwent
treatment to hide the scars on his scalp. He also had his third
rhinoplasty shortly thereafter. Jackson never recovered from
this injury.
• Pepsi settled out of court, and Jackson donated his $1.5
million settlement to the Brotman Medical Center in Culver
City, California, which now has a "Michael Jackson Burn
Center" in honour of his donation. Dusenberry later recounted
the episode in his memoir, Then We Set His Hair on Fire:
Insights and Accidents from a Hall of Fame Career in
Advertising.
• On May 14, 1984, MJ was invited to the White House to
receive an award from President Ronald Reagan for his
support of charities that helped people overcome alcohol and
drug abuse.

6. • Jackson's skin had been a medium-brown color for the entire duration of his youth, but
starting in the mid 1980s, it gradually grew paler. The change gained widespread media
coverage, including rumors that he might be bleaching his skin. According to J. Randy
Taraborrelli's biography, in 1986, Jackson was diagnosed with vitiligo and lupus; the
vitiligo partially lightened his skin, and the lupus was in remission; both illnesses made
him sensitive to sunlight. The treatments he used for his condition further lightened his
skin tone, and, with the application of pancake makeup to even out blotches, he could
appear very pale. Jackson was also diagnosed with vitiligo in his autopsy. By the mid
1990s several surgeons speculated that he had undergone various nasal surgeries, had
fat removed around the eyes, a forehead lift, thinned lips, and cheekbone surgery—
although Jackson denied this and insisted that he only had surgery on his nose. Jackson
claimed that he had only two rhinoplasties and no other surgery on his face, although at
one point he mentioned having a dimple created in his chin. Jackson lost weight in the
early 1980s because of a change in diet and a desire for "a dancer's body". Witnesses
reported that he was often dizzy and speculated that he was suffering from anorexia
nervosa; periods of weight loss would become a recurring problem later in life.

7. • MJ became the subject of increasingly sensational reports. In 1986,
the tabloids ran a story claiming that Jackson slept in a hyperbaric
oxygen chamber to slow the aging process; he was pictured lying
down in a glass box. Although the claim was untrue, according to
tabloid reports that are widely cited, Jackson had disseminated the
fabricated story himself. When Jackson bought a chimpanzee called
Bubbles from a laboratory, he was reported to be increasingly
detached from reality. It was reported that Jackson had offered to buy
the bones of Joseph Merrick (the "elephant man") and although
untrue, Jackson did not deny the story. Although initially he saw these
stories as opportunities for publicity, he stopped leaking untruths to
the press as they became more sensational. Consequently the media
began making up their own stories. These reports became embedded
in the public consciousness, inspiring the nickname "Wacko Jacko,“
• In March 1988, Jackson purchased land near Santa Ynez, California,
to build Neverland Ranch at a cost of $17 million. He installed Ferris
wheels, a menagerie, and a movie theater on the 2,700-acre (11 km2)
property. A security staff of 40 patrolled the grounds. In 2003, it was
valued at approximately $100 million. In 1989, his annual earnings
from album sales, endorsements, and concerts was estimated at $125
million for that year alone. Shortly afterwards, he became the first
Westerner to appear in a television ad in the Soviet Union
• “You ain’t see nothing yet and the best is yet to come’’

8. • In a 90-minute interview to Oprah Winfrey which was watched by an American
audience of 90-million. He denied Tabloid rumours on (the Elephant man, hyperbaric
oxygen chamber)
• Jackson was accused of child sexual abuse by a 13-year-old boy named Jordan
Chandler and his father, Dr. Evan Chandler, a dentist.
• Jackson's home was raided by the police, and Jackson submitted to a 25-minute
shred search.
• His friends said he never recovered from the humiliation of the strip search. The
investigation was inconclusive and no charges were ever filed.
• Dr. Chandler was tape-recorded by his wife discussing his intention to pursue
charges, saying, "If I go through with this, I win big-time. There's no way I lose. I will
get everything I want and they will be destroyed forever ... Michael's career will be
over".
• Jackson later used the recording to argue that he was the victim of a jealous father
whose only goal was to extort money from the singer. Jackson's insurance carrier
settled with the Chandlers out of court for $22 million.
• Jackson began taking painkillers, Valium, Xanax, and Ativan to deal with the
stress of the allegations made against him. By the fall of 1993, Jackson was
addicted to the drugs.

and music videos, revenue from concerts and endorsements
have been estimated at US$500 million; some analysts have
speculated that his music catalog holdings could be worth
billions of dollars. This speculation however is contradicted by
financial documents obtained by the Associated Press, which
showed that as of March 31, 2007, Jackson's 50 percent stake
in the Sony/ATV Music Publishing catalog (his most prized
asset) was worth $390.6 million and Michael Jackson's net

his death.

15. • I'll always be Peter Pan in my heart.

of the loneliest people on this earth. I cry sometimes, because it hurts. It
does. To be honest, I guess you could say that it hurts to be me.
• I have spent my entire life helping millions of children across the world. I
would never harm a child. It is unfortunate that some individuals have
seen fit to come forward and make a complaint that is completely false.
• If you enter this world knowing you are loved and you leave this world
knowing the same, then everything that happens in between can be dealt
with.
• I sit in my room at home and sometimes cry. It's so hard to make friends.
Sometimes I walk around the neighbourhood at night, just hoping to find
someone to talk to. But I just end up coming home.

16. IT ALL ENDED ON 25TH JUNE 2009

17. • In a world filled with hate, we must still dare to hope. In a world
filled with anger, we must still dare to comfort. In a world filled
with despair, we must still dare to dream. And in a world filled
with distrust, we must still dare to believe.
• A star can never die. It just turns into a smile and melts back
into the cosmic music, the dance of life.
