NY Times bestselling author/filmmaker Ian Halperin
exposes astonishing secrets about this mystifying figure who became the world’s biggest entertainer!In late December 2008, Ian Halperin told the world that Michael Jackson had only six months to live. His investigation into Jackson`s failing health made headlines around the globe. Six months and a day later, the King of Pop was dead.
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 advisers knew it. Anyone who caught even a fleeting glimpse of the frail 50 year old 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. Halperin strips away Michael’s masks and gets to the truth!
This investigation separates the sad truth from the multilayered lies and media distortions, as the world says “goodbye” to the King of Pop.
"Halperin comes to the story determined to hold to the truth, no matter where it leads him."
— The Times of London

Book review: “Unmasked: The Final Years of Michael Jackson” You thought you understood her integrity and morality but you were, unfortunately, quite wrong. You heard he was a jerk, a complete idiot, that he was sleazy but he turned out to be a pleasant, fun companion. And though your first impressions made you vow to listen to your Mama when she said not to judge a book by its cover, the next person you met got the same snap judgments. |
