About this ebook
'The most authoritative book ever written about Michael Jackson' – Daily Mail
For fans of the smash hit film Michael, this is the definitive account of Michael Jackson's life. Acclaimed biographer J. Randy Taraborrelli first met Michael when they were both teenagers and interviewed the singer and his family many times, giving him unique insights.
So much has been written about the life and career of Michael Jackson that it has become almost impossible to disentangle the man from the myth. J. Randy Taraborrelli cuts through the tabloid rumours and innuendo, the conflicting stories and lurid accusations, to reveal the real man. From his drilling as a child star with the Jackson 5 through the blooming of his talent, from his ever-changing personal appearance to his marriages, from his addictions to his love for his children, we see what motivated one of the greatest performers of all time.
Objective and revealing, this book combines impeccable research, brilliant story-telling and a clear-sighted understanding of the forces that shaped Michael's life and his death.
'A superbly researched investigation' – heat

This book is a fantastic insite into the most private life in music history, and Mr Taraborrelli has written a true master peace of his 30 year front row seat and his personal friendship with Michael. Brilliant.
