Product Summary
| In late December 2008, Ian Halperin told the world that Michael Jackson had only six months to live. His investigations into Jackson's failing health made headlines around the globe. Six months later, the King of Pop was dead.
Whatever the final autopsy results reveal, it was greed that killed Michael Jackson. Friends and associates paint a tragic picture of the last years and days of his life as Jackson made desperate attempts to prepare for the planned concert series at London's 02 Arena in July 2009. These shows would have earned millions for the singer and his entourage, but he could never have completed them, not mentally, and not physically. Michael knew it and his advisors knew it. Anyone who caught even a fleeting glimpse of the frail old man hiding beneath the costumes and cosmetics would have understood that the London tour was madness. Why did it happen this way? After an intense five year investigation, New York Times bestselling author Ian Halperin uncovers the real story of Michael Jackson's final years, a suspenseful and surprising thriller.
About The Author |
Montreal-based journalist Ian Halperin spent five years working on his exposé of the last 15 years of Michael Jackson's life. Going undercover into Neverland and talking with anyone who had something to say, Halperin pieced together his theories about the King of Pop, for instance: Jackson was gay; Jackson was not a child molester. Halperin gives little attention to the first 35 years of the star's life--the time during which the child prodigy reached the heights of his commercial and artistic success as a young adult. This book is more about the effects that unparalleled success had on Jackson's psychological and physical health. Halperin claims to have predicted Jackson's death, and whether or not those claims hold water, he certainly paints a picture of an unhealthy man in UNMASKED.
