In production during the untimely and controversial death of Michael Jackson, this remarkable unauthorised biography of the King of Pop has been fast tracked for release with new footage and bonus materials featuring the Memorial Service held at the Staples Centre, the tabloid frenzy surrounding Michael’s death and the shock and disbelief felt by fans across the globe.
Michael Jackson has led an incredible life, from his beginnings as a child star, to his rise as the King of Pop, followed by numerous health issues, public humiliation and a highly publicised fall from grace. Yet his name remains synonymous with music and his popularity continues to sustain legions of fans worldwide, now more than ever before.
On the eve of his remarkable sell-out farewell tour, Michael Jackson went into cardiac arrest from which he never recovered. This comprehensive DVD biography revisits how Michael’s life was shaped by his early music career as a child before exploring his solo years and how a collaboration with Quincy Jones yielded one of the best selling and beloved albums of all time. We also unearth the events that led to Michael’s decline as a recording artist and reveal the bizarre personal problems and legal battles that shamed the superstar into a life of seclusion.
Michael Jackson: Unmasked is the real story of a star without equals, separating the man from the myth and the myths from the scandals.
Includes new footage & fan reactions from the 2009 Staples Center Memorial Service.
