The man was in his prime for his whole life. Many childhood stars fade away as they grow older Michael always stayed consistently at that high level. For me he’s the Artist of the Century. NO DEBATE!!
I agree, if you listen to Invincible - his voice is amazing - its still perfect and has attracted a deeper maturity - songs like Speechless and Break of Dawn are just aural perfection.

if you see him before the accident he had lots of confidence BUT after the fire he closed to himself together with his skin disorder that made him quite shy...after the fire everything changed...
he didn't wear wigs until the 90's. post burn accident he used his own hair to mask the spot after initially having a surgery to reduce the size of the spot. He then wore extensions from the Bad era
Yes the wigs weren't till the 90s. Do you think on his dangerous and history tour that he was wearing a wig or extensions ? It looks like his real hair on those tours.
MJ didn't have natural hair since Off The Wall, he had expensive Indian weave full of product. The last time you saw him with his actual hair is on the cover of the Thriller album, it's a totally different texture. There is absolutely nothing you can put in black hair to make it swing the way it was swinging around the time of this accident.

the reason why he wanted to keep the glove on is the same reason why he began wearing it in the first place. vitiligo usually begins it’s spread at the fingertips- and that did happen in MJ’s case- causing him to always wear the glove to avoid media slander

I understand why everyone is saying it bc it was truly what cost him his health. But the accident didn't kill him and he definitely got physically stronger after that.
Lupus breaks down the body. He oftentimes had to do shows in spite of the severe pain. He mentioned it in interviews that he is in constant pain but he's doing it for the fans. He was strong willed, but his body was struggling to keep up.
my worst nightmare is seeing michael hurt... im not just a fan, i care about him, i truly do... poor michael... i wish i had lived in the 80's and when you entered the hospital i would be near you holding your hand all the time and saying things will be okay. it sounds weird, but i care for him.
Pepsi gave him pain for the whole life , but when Michael saw burnt patients and their pain in the hospital ..he forgot his pain and spread more love in the world... What a wonderful humanitarian 🙏🙏
I have never been able to shake the feeling that this incident was not an accident. It was the catalyst for so much turmoil. He really had to endure so much throughout his life 😢
Bob Giraldi was responsible for Michael Jackson's traumatic head injury that could've penultimately ended his life and/or career. It kicked started his vitiligo, lupus, and alopecia which was in remission making his health in the ongoing years until his untimely demise go from bad to worse.
@@andrewforte3852 He already had vitiligo and lupus by the Destiny era, there's pictures of him and everything. But I agree, this traumatic experience would cause a spiral trend of sadness and great pain in Michael's life. This "accident" didn't seem so accidental to me. That last take was unnecessary, and the use of a prior take for the released version only proves it.
He did, in some way. There's an account from a cameraman of a take from him doing that 1997 Diane Sawyer interview and a lamp behind him went off and exploded by accident. It wasn't near him to do any damage, but the sound of the bang and the glass breaking sent Michael to dive under a desk for cover. Shaken, he left the set and Michael's agents put off filming the interview until the next day.
@@batmanarkhamvengeancetm6358 With all due respect you need to read my words carefully, I already knew he had lupus DISCOID lupus actually which I clarified was in REMISSION, that's why Michael was very particular about his diet even fasting on Sundays, so the TRAUMATIC incident triggered everything that was ambivalently dormant.
@@DTownNash Bob Giraldi who directed BEAT IT, was bitter toward Michael Jackson for choosing John Landis, whom directed the landmark short film THRILLER, even his behavior at the American Music Awards was unusual, twice he approached the stage appearing disheveled and inebriated, it was as if he was attempting miserably to steal Michael's shine.
I burned my hand 🤚 as a child with fiery oil 🔥 14 years ago. I still remember how devastatingly painful 😖 that was... I can't imagine it being on the scalp... Anyway my hand never fully recovered since. Even if it was treated for many months.
I got a chemical burn when I was 19 from helping my friend on her dad's farm on my scalp (backside where your top meets your back ) From liquid that fell it also went on a part of my neck ...it was painful much more on my neck (got a small scar) but it went numb but my hair never grew the same and I got bald spot that spread out but I still wear braids
That's because as he is realized his hair was on fire, his brother Tito was the closest one to him as he was right in front of him as you see in the video which is why he called him.
@@fusionn4316 Being one of 5 brothers I called out the fact that he called out his brother's name I thought it was cool cuz some people didn't believe they were close as siblings but they were. Not sure why you commented what you did but ok 👍🏾
@@humanr.e8529 I commented that because it's common sense. Why would he call out for someone who is far away from him when Tito was right in front of him and it was easier to get his attention because of that. 🤦♂️
This incident changed his life forever, it gave his so much pain, he was in so much pain on top of that people where insulting because of his looks.. In one interview he said I a heart and I have feelings too, whenever people say bad about me i feel it.. He was so sensitive...people made fun of him by saying he wears wig, what is wrong in wearing a wig? he had reason for that, he was so hardworking , I feel how lonely he was...
January 27 1984, the day Michael Jackson was supposed to die. I can't help but think it was staged because no celebrity ever reached that height of fame. On the 6th take, the explosives were closer to him, more powerful and they went off too early. It just sounds so staged. He was so lucky to survive that. They say if he was on fire for 10 more seconds, he would've died. Like it says in the video, he was later diagnosed with vitiligo and lupus that same year. And you can tell he started struggling with vitiligo that year because he suddenly looked a lot lighter in 1984, because he was wearing light makeup to mask it. The lupus also started giving him complications with his nose, and it made him lose more hair, including his eyebrows and eyelashes, and that forced him to wear even more makeup. 1984 was when he started looking different because of all these different things that were suddenly happening to him all at once. He wasn't trying to be white. Vitiligo, lupus and the burn accident started ruining his appearance and he was trying his hardest to look as normal as possible. 1984 was really a pivotal moment in his life (Not to mention the burn accident was exactly half his life...no I am not kidding, January 27 1984 is the EXACT middle date between his birth and death. Is that just a coincidence?). It's rumored the vitiligo became worse because of the medication he was taking for the scalp pain, which he endured up until his death and often couldn't sleep because of it. This one event changed his whole entire life. Edit: He was diagnosed with vitiligo and lupus in 1986.
@@channe3049 Yeah that aint it. More like 25 years as dark and 25 years as light. Saying he was "white" is offensive to black people with vitiligo. It's also 25 years of rising and 25 years of declining.
Omg😨 so sad he endure so much pain..and another pain he experienced was when in the year of 1986 when the love of his life Diana Ross got married. He got so depressed😥
Exactly! He was roughly 25 1/2 years old when that happened and roughly 25 1/2 years later when he was 50 about to turn 51 he died. That is no coincidence.
Remember, Michael wrote in his Moonwalker autobiography that he had pepsi seize all copies of the accident and gave them to him. He was the only person with that footage. So when he passed, who released it? The estate? Things that make you go hmmm?
OMG I remember this. I was sitting in the front row and I’ll never forget the look on MJ’s face as he realized the pain from the fire. I saw him shortly after and he showed me the burn which looked like a pellet burned into his scalp. I felt awful for him because it looked so painful, but he brushed it off as something he would overcome. What a guy!
Mike don't need to come back because majority of people treated him like shit when he was here. If he were still here I'm pretty sure he'd still be getting the same treatment. It's best that he is gone so he can finally be at peace.
Pepsta Lynn agree . I’m glad I’m not the only person that didn’t forgot how shunned MJ was when he was alive . I remember if you even said Michael Jackson’s name before he died in the early 2000’s it was a crime ...
@Kristine Jackson Because the media controlled everyone's lives in the 2000s. Most people thought he was guilty in the 2000s because the media was constantly condemning him to be guilty, but we know better now.
As successful as he was, Michael Jackson’s life really was tragic, becoming one of the biggest artists ever while struggling with a skin disorder and then becoming hated by the media the next decade while being accused of one of the worst crimes a person could be accused of…. Gotta give him props tho because as fucked up as this my sound, it’s a miracle he even made it to age 50 and even in death, he’s still being ridiculed
@@masumahmed3845 he told Latoya "Sis they're trying to kill me...they don't want a black man to be the biggest star on earth..I'm telling you I won't live past 50"
this event caused a ripple effect- i have no doubt that he would still be alive if this never happened. he would have never got hooked on drugs and his surgeries would be of a lower number. however, the saying everything happens for a reason applies as his struggles in life added more depth to his music (and we would have never got the song morphine)! however i do believe he would have been happier if it had never happened
Here's a better question. Who directed the pyrotechnician to set off the pyro early on the 6th take? Why wasn't that person reprimanded? The fire marshall too.
I think most people only realized after his death, when the findings of the autopsy became public, how much damage that fire had REALLY caused him and how badly he was REALLY injured, nor could we have imagined how incredibly devastating the never ending pain must have been …….!!!!
The accident changed his life forever. EDIT I DIDNT KNOW THIS COMMENT WAS GOING TO FET 137 LIKES! ONE DAY I WOKE UP AND CHECKED THIS COMMENT AND IT HAD 72 LIKES HOW AMAZING!
I have been reading alot about Micheal Jackson's life. Yes, he is, without a doubt, the best performer in the world. It breaks my heart to think that he went through so much in his 50 years on earth. He made millions and millions and millions of people very happy with his enteretaining and his songs and music. I hope that when he met his Maker, all the sadness in his life went away. Why did so many people make such a big deal about his life..etc...Micheal Jackson left all of us wonderful memories. He may have done weird things.but haven't we all done that too? Where ever you are, Micheal Jackson, I love you and will continue listening to your wonderful music and watch your videos....love you lots..from Elaine
Totally agree, the American people were brainwashed into believing that the "White" is Michael when they were 2 different people Michael Jackson 1958 - 1985
Fun facts about Brotman Medical - the hospital that treated MJ: - The burn unit closed just 3 years later after the 1.5 million donation from Michael Jackson - I worked at that hospital in 2015. It's now called Southern California Hospital - Culver City. That place is one of the crappiest/rundown hospitals I've ever worked at and I've worked at nearly 10 of them in the LA area. Just look at their reviews online. There is no way they are regulations compliant. Somebody higher up in the state and/or government wants them to stay open. The roof on the older building had leaks all over when it rained. They spent over a million trying to open an L&D and never managed to get it open because they can't get their shit together. Horrible place.
Unfortunately Brotman was the closest trauma center to the set location. I agree, Brotman was awful and when this first happened, I'd wished he could have been taken to Cedars instead. He could have been airlifted there. Very strange "circumstances" surrounding the whole event.
Wooow they took him to one of the shittiest hospitals around. You’d think he would get the first class treatment straight to cedars Sinai for Peet’s sake even my common folk self was born there i understand it was the closest but it was a burn he wasn’t bleeding out.. that puts the cherry on the cake for my thoughts on this incident being set up.
ROYALLY PISSED OFF! I think he used certain pyrotechnics and stood a certain distance from them you could see that in this place hotel in the victory tour or the bad tour
He was a great distance from the pyro but you would think after that Pepsi incident that he would never wanna use pyro again but he still used them in his shows.
First vitiligo then he burned his hair then he had lupus and the nosy media made it worst and if he didn't burn his hair he would be alive because burning his hair will result in his painkiller addiction and his painkiller addiction caused his death 2 months before his 51st birthday.
This event actually happened pretty much exactly at the half way point of his life too. Michael Jackson lived 18,563 days. August 29th, 1958 - June 25th, 2009. That’s 18,563 days. This event occurred January 27th, 1984. That’s 9,282 days after the day he was born. Divide 18,563/2 and you get 9,281.5. Crazy.
18,563 days sounds so short when you think about it. I remember doing some online age calculating thing a few years back and was surprised that I had only been alive for the amount of days it said ( I forget the exact number but I somehow had always thought the number would be in the higher thousands or even close to a million) when you think about the fact MJ died at age 50 and that's only over 18,000 days....? It just makes life seem even shorter than it already is. Even though 50 is still young, too young to die still the point stands. At least for me personally. It sounds like nothing, especially considering how long earth has been around.
This video breaks my heart.. it was such a dangerous thing to do.. if this never happened is it possible that the drugs had never been piled and piled so he would still be alive..?
Michael was like any other messagerof Jehovah God, most of songs were messages from God, and then he was perscuted and put to death, and people just want leave him. God Bless you, I will always love you Michael.
I wonder if the burns and the traumatic event could trigger his vitiligo and lupus. Maybe external and internal stress could have triggert it. Michael Jackson stated that his vitiligo started after Thriller and maybe around the time of the burns. Maybe I am just telling bullcrap but maybe it all started with the burns, the body can react under severe stress.
In Jermaine's book he wrote that Michael actually first found a white spot on his torso in his teens but it didn't start to affect the rest of his body until the 80s. Jermaine also had a white spot on his thigh that a doctor diagnosed as vitiligo but it just never spread for him. It doesn't seem that far fetched to me that the burns and the events that followed could have triggered the vitiligo to spread for Michael along with his lupus.
One of medication side effects is skin lightening and also depression can increase and skin condition if u have it mj said in Oprah's 1993 interview that vitilligo started after off the wall so the pressure of music business and the burn definently increased it
@@nalukubafatuma2900 Ow I thought that he said to Oprah that it started after Thriller, that would also be around the period when he burnt his scalp in 1984

Imagine how awful it actually must have been for him to lose his hair. His natural hair. He was already so self-critical about his appearance, and then this happened. Sure, the weaves and hair extensions he wore later gave him/us some of the coolest, most iconic hairstyles of all time, but damn... it must've been awful for him.
So sad. Changed him forever. This is why he wore wigs and hair extensions because it burned off part of his hair leaving bald spots. I hope it got better over time and didn't cause a lot of pain
What happened to the producer?!He should take full responsibility for nearly killing MJ!! Wasn't he that creepy guy that came up on stage while MJ was receiving an award?! I remember reading in MJ'S biography that MJ was thankful that the fire didn't hit his face. I nearly cried reading that. I heard also that MJ was threatened to be killed from the age of 12. He must've feared for his life his whole life, yet he gave so much to the whole world!! Not only through music, but also through his enormous humanitarian work! He is truly a multitalented warm hearted great man!! Miss him so much!!
yeah, that is sooo sure 🤦🏽♂️, bc no way other things could have happened like... him falling from a lift on stage, him suffering from Lupus and the joint pain that goes with it, him doing so much sports (=> dancing, extreme moves)...
He was so beautiful. I'll never understand why some people feel so insecure about themselves to change so much.. You're perfect just the way you are! Never let anyone else make you feel any different!! 💜🦋💜🦋💜🦋
09:19 I remember the stories about this photo... People went crazy... They talked about it everywhere... It was also said that he was an alien and he needed a different environment...
The fact that he didn’t feel the fire burning his head is amazing- like bro I get burned by a dot of fire and it lights up my life. Be setting my soul on fire. Him over here causally just singing and dancing down the steps with fire on his head-
Plus, do you know how hot it is next to these spot lights, and repeated pyro shots... it can take those 2 seconds to realize why your head is getting hotter.... especially if you're totally focussed on your act, on top.
His such a humble person, who do you know who will take pictures with fans, patience’s and doctors while being in hospital in excruciating pain ❤️ and he donated all that money to the hospital God bless him 🥺 and may God rest his soul 🙏🏽 we love you and miss you Michael you’ll never be forgotten 🥰 Your legacy will continue to live on years from now....

Pepsi gave him pain for the whole life , but when Michael saw burnt patients and their pain in the hospital ..he forgot his pain and spread more love in the world...
What a wonderful humanitarian 🙏🙏
I have never been able to shake the feeling that this incident was not an accident. It was the catalyst for so much turmoil. He really had to endure so much throughout his life 😢
The Real Michael
(Black) died in 1985 the FAKE Michael(White) died in 2009
The conspiracy that fooled the world
oh my god
Weirdly, this accident falls exactly in the middle of his life. Not just on a scale of year or month, but to-the-day, the middle of his life. Crazy!
And one of his accusers has the last name Chandler, which means candle maker. MJ basically was made into a human candle during this incident.
How did you calculate that?
@@amandaguvi3124 they said it in the video. Also you just do the math
This is so sad. I wouldn’t be surprised if he ended up with PTSD after that experience. 😔
Bob Giraldi was responsible for Michael Jackson's traumatic head injury that could've penultimately ended his life and/or career.
It kicked started his vitiligo, lupus, and alopecia which was in remission making his health in the ongoing years until his untimely demise go from bad to worse.
@@andrewforte3852 He already had vitiligo and lupus by the Destiny era, there's pictures of him and everything.
But I agree, this traumatic experience would cause a spiral trend of sadness and great pain in Michael's life. This "accident" didn't seem so accidental to me. That last take was unnecessary, and the use of a prior take for the released version only proves it.
He did, in some way. There's an account from a cameraman of a take from him doing that 1997 Diane Sawyer interview and a lamp behind him went off and exploded by accident. It wasn't near him to do any damage, but the sound of the bang and the glass breaking sent Michael to dive under a desk for cover. Shaken, he left the set and Michael's agents put off filming the interview until the next day.
@@batmanarkhamvengeancetm6358 With all due respect you need to read my words carefully, I already knew he had lupus DISCOID lupus actually which I clarified was in REMISSION, that's why Michael was very particular about his diet even fasting on Sundays, so the TRAUMATIC incident triggered everything that was ambivalently dormant.
@@DTownNash Bob Giraldi who directed BEAT IT, was bitter toward Michael Jackson for choosing John Landis, whom directed the landmark short film THRILLER, even his behavior at the American Music Awards was unusual, twice he approached the stage appearing disheveled and inebriated, it was as if he was attempting miserably to steal Michael's shine.
I burned my hand 🤚 as a child with fiery oil 🔥 14 years ago. I still remember how devastatingly painful 😖 that was... I can't imagine it being on the scalp... Anyway my hand never fully recovered since. Even if it was treated for many months.
I got a chemical burn when I was 19 from helping my friend on her dad's farm on my scalp (backside where your top meets your back )
From liquid that fell it also went on a part of my neck ...it was painful much more on my neck (got a small scar) but it went numb but my hair never grew the same and I got bald spot that spread out but I still wear braids
My heart goes out to you. Burn injuries are so much more painful and long lasting than so many other injuries.
Michael Jackson was pressure by his family to do the The Victory Tour and Pesi commercial he didn't wanted to do it...
Never listen to family or friends always follow your heart ❤
Michael didn’t think he’s so handsome. He was sooooooo handsome especially in the Thriller era. Love him so much.
What's funny and kinda telling, he called on his big brother, not his security
That's because as he is realized his hair was on fire, his brother Tito was the closest one to him as he was right in front of him as you see in the video which is why he called him.
@@fusionn4316 Being one of 5 brothers I called out the fact that he called out his brother's name I thought it was cool cuz some people didn't believe they were close as siblings but they were. Not sure why you commented what you did but ok 👍🏾
@@humanr.e8529 If you thought it was cool for him to call out his brother's name then why did you mention about security?
@@humanr.e8529 I commented that because it's common sense. Why would he call out for someone who is far away from him when Tito was right in front of him and it was easier to get his attention because of that. 🤦♂️
Any accident can definitely impact a person! Poor MJ, this never should have happened to him.
This incident changed his life forever, it gave his so much pain, he was in so much pain on top of that people where insulting because of his looks.. In one interview he said I a heart and I have feelings too, whenever people say bad about me i feel it.. He was so sensitive...people made fun of him by saying he wears wig, what is wrong in wearing a wig? he had reason for that, he was so hardworking , I feel how lonely he was...
The media really fucked him over.
January 27 1984, the day Michael Jackson was supposed to die. I can't help but think it was staged because no celebrity ever reached that height of fame. On the 6th take, the explosives were closer to him, more powerful and they went off too early. It just sounds so staged. He was so lucky to survive that. They say if he was on fire for 10 more seconds, he would've died. Like it says in the video, he was later diagnosed with vitiligo and lupus that same year. And you can tell he started struggling with vitiligo that year because he suddenly looked a lot lighter in 1984, because he was wearing light makeup to mask it. The lupus also started giving him complications with his nose, and it made him lose more hair, including his eyebrows and eyelashes, and that forced him to wear even more makeup. 1984 was when he started looking different because of all these different things that were suddenly happening to him all at once. He wasn't trying to be white. Vitiligo, lupus and the burn accident started ruining his appearance and he was trying his hardest to look as normal as possible. 1984 was really a pivotal moment in his life (Not to mention the burn accident was exactly half his life...no I am not kidding, January 27 1984 is the EXACT middle date between his birth and death. Is that just a coincidence?). It's rumored the vitiligo became worse because of the medication he was taking for the scalp pain, which he endured up until his death and often couldn't sleep because of it. This one event changed his whole entire life.
Edit: He was diagnosed with vitiligo and lupus in 1986.
25 years as black and 25 years as white.
@@channe3049 Yeah that aint it. More like 25 years as dark and 25 years as light. Saying he was "white" is offensive to black people with vitiligo. It's also 25 years of rising and 25 years of declining.
Omg😨 so sad he endure so much pain..and another pain he experienced was when in the year of 1986 when the love of his life Diana Ross got married. He got so depressed😥
That's a fact they wanted that to happen it was all a setup 💯🤷♂️
Exactly! He was roughly 25 1/2 years old when that happened and roughly 25 1/2 years later when he was 50 about to turn 51 he died. That is no coincidence.
Remember, Michael wrote in his Moonwalker autobiography that he had pepsi seize all copies of the accident and gave them to him. He was the only person with that footage. So when he passed, who released it? The estate? Things that make you go hmmm?
OMG I remember this. I was sitting in the front row and I’ll never forget the look on MJ’s face as he realized the pain from the fire. I saw him shortly after and he showed me the burn which looked like a pellet burned into his scalp. I felt awful for him because it looked so painful, but he brushed it off as something he would overcome. What a guy!
Really? Lol ok

Mike don't need to come back because majority of people treated him like shit when he was here. If he were still here I'm pretty sure he'd still be getting the same treatment. It's best that he is gone so he can finally be at peace.
Pepsta Lynn agree . I’m glad I’m not the only person that didn’t forgot how shunned MJ was when he was alive . I remember if you even said Michael Jackson’s name before he died in the early 2000’s it was a crime ...
@Kristine Jackson Because the media controlled everyone's lives in the 2000s. Most people thought he was guilty in the 2000s because the media was constantly condemning him to be guilty, but we know better now.
Kristine Jackson 😢
As successful as he was, Michael Jackson’s life really was tragic, becoming one of the biggest artists ever while struggling with a skin disorder and then becoming hated by the media the next decade while being accused of one of the worst crimes a person could be accused of…. Gotta give him props tho because as fucked up as this my sound, it’s a miracle he even made it to age 50 and even in death, he’s still being ridiculed
This was such a scary event
Wow, everything did change January 27, 1984. Everything. 😔
FUN FACT: the pepsi ad incident was literally the middle date in his life.
I still can’t get over this
Absolutely....I just can't believe,how is this possible? Is this only a co-incident or really something else?
Definitely planned to kill him or severely injure him
@@masumahmed3845 he told Latoya "Sis they're trying to kill me...they don't want a black man to be the biggest star on earth..I'm telling you I won't live past 50"
@@Chuck_EL oooooooooo
this event caused a ripple effect- i have no doubt that he would still be alive if this never happened. he would have never got hooked on drugs and his surgeries would be of a lower number. however, the saying everything happens for a reason applies as his struggles in life added more depth to his music (and we would have never got the song morphine)! however i do believe he would have been happier if it had never happened
This is when his pain killer addiction began😭
Poor Michael, so traumatizing ! There's no way he ever got over that !
This was an organized hit and maybe the first attempt on his life. Brave man. Brilliant soul. May he Rest In Peace.
i seriously doubt that. the guys in charge of the pepsi commercial were just complete idiots
Exactly. He was cloned afterwards.
Michael was a very good person but the time of his hair burning hurt me so much I LOVE YOU MICHAEL😇
Here's a better question. Who directed the pyrotechnician to set off the pyro early on the 6th take? Why wasn't that person reprimanded? The fire marshall too.
They should done some special effects.why put someone that close Pepsi killed him
Exactly and he was advised not to sue Pepsi. Big mistake.
I think most people only realized after his death, when the findings of the autopsy became public, how much damage that fire had REALLY caused him and how badly he was REALLY injured, nor could we have imagined how incredibly devastating the never ending pain must have been …….!!!!
The accident changed his life forever. EDIT I DIDNT KNOW THIS COMMENT WAS GOING TO FET 137 LIKES! ONE DAY I WOKE UP AND CHECKED THIS COMMENT AND IT HAD 72 LIKES HOW AMAZING!
Unfortunately, that's true. Had he not had that accident, he likely would've still been alive today.

I have been reading alot about Micheal Jackson's life. Yes, he is, without a doubt, the best performer in the world. It breaks my heart to think that he went through so much in his 50 years on earth. He made millions and millions and millions of people very happy with his enteretaining and his songs and music. I hope that when he met his Maker, all the sadness in his life went away. Why did so many people make such a big deal about his life..etc...Micheal Jackson left all of us wonderful memories. He may have done weird things.but haven't we all done that too? Where ever you are, Micheal Jackson, I love you and will continue listening to your wonderful music and watch your videos....love you lots..from Elaine
the fact that this one accident lead to his death is truly so sad 😞
Hey hey u like dark n handsome guy with a british accent?
Totally agree, the American people were brainwashed into believing that the "White" is Michael when they were 2 different people Michael Jackson 1958 - 1985
A shame the real Michael died in 1985, and world was fooled by the fake Michael until he died in 2009
So sad, poor Michael. Definition of perfection =Michael Jackson, beautiful man!!!
Hes so sweet! He kept on that gorgeous glove for his FANS!
nah, it was cause he was embarrassed about his vertiligo
He is STRONG. Beyond strong, we miss you baby💔I’d give anything to see you one last time
MJ👑 was so hot in the 80's, he was literally on 🔥.
Crazy how this man suffers many injuries and still standing up until his last breath.
When this happens to Michael Jackson that's when his problems begin I believe the music industry feared Micheal Jackson and they did
well, it was so sad.
Fun facts about Brotman Medical - the hospital that treated MJ:
- The burn unit closed just 3 years later after the 1.5 million donation from Michael Jackson
- I worked at that hospital in 2015. It's now called Southern California Hospital - Culver City. That place is one of the crappiest/rundown hospitals I've ever worked at and I've worked at nearly 10 of them in the LA area. Just look at their reviews online. There is no way they are regulations compliant. Somebody higher up in the state and/or government wants them to stay open. The roof on the older building had leaks all over when it rained. They spent over a million trying to open an L&D and never managed to get it open because they can't get their shit together. Horrible place.
Unfortunately Brotman was the closest trauma center to the set location. I agree, Brotman was awful and when this first happened, I'd wished he could have been taken to Cedars instead. He could have been airlifted there. Very strange "circumstances" surrounding the whole event.
Obviously it’s in the country America.
Its a front for to cover what really goes on in that "hospital"
@@jamthacreator and what really goes on in that hospital ? 🤔
Wooow they took him to one of the shittiest hospitals around. You’d think he would get the first class treatment straight to cedars Sinai for Peet’s sake even my common folk self was born there i understand it was the closest but it was a burn he wasn’t bleeding out.. that puts the cherry on the cake for my thoughts on this incident being set up.
Its so hard to fall asleep with burn wounds
Facts!!! It's impossible
Yep very true
especially on ur head
My poor baby 🥺🥺 I can only imagine how he felt, but he took it like a G still waving while going to the hospital ❤️
*Whats interesting to me is, during the Victory Tour BAD Tour and Dangerous World Tour he still used explosives in his shows*
ROYALLY PISSED OFF! I think he used certain pyrotechnics and stood a certain distance from them you could see that in this place hotel in the victory tour or the bad tour
He was a great distance from the pyro but you would think after that Pepsi incident that he would never wanna use pyro again but he still used them in his shows.
@@pepstalynn in the MTV 10th anniversary rehearsal he mentioned staying far away from the pyro cause that's how he got burned
really? i thought he would kinda be scared of fire on stage
Weird fact: that day was in the middle of Michael Jackson’s life
Truee
New meaning to mid-life crisis.
Bruhhe
That's creepy!
So was he 25?
First vitiligo then he burned his hair then he had lupus and the nosy media made it worst and if he didn't burn his hair he would be alive because burning his hair will result in his painkiller addiction and his painkiller addiction caused his death 2 months before his 51st birthday.
This event actually happened pretty much exactly at the half way point of his life too. Michael Jackson lived 18,563 days. August 29th, 1958 - June 25th, 2009. That’s 18,563 days. This event occurred January 27th, 1984. That’s 9,282 days after the day he was born. Divide 18,563/2 and you get 9,281.5. Crazy.
Creepy and interesting
Insane!
Facts!
theres so much shit like this and it makes me feel like the world/life is planned out
18,563 days sounds so short when you think about it. I remember doing some online age calculating thing a few years back and was surprised that I had only been alive for the amount of days it said ( I forget the exact number but I somehow had always thought the number would be in the higher thousands or even close to a million) when you think about the fact MJ died at age 50 and that's only over 18,000 days....? It just makes life seem even shorter than it already is. Even though 50 is still young, too young to die still the point stands. At least for me personally. It sounds like nothing, especially considering how long earth has been around.
This video breaks my heart.. it was such a dangerous thing to do.. if this never happened is it possible that the drugs had never been piled and piled so he would still be alive..?
Damn.. it was Pepsi’s guilt 😒 poor Michael💔
Michael was like any other messagerof Jehovah God, most of songs were messages from God, and then he was perscuted and put to death, and people just want leave him. God Bless you, I will always love you Michael.
And sadly pepsi accident was the begging of the end 😔💔
*beginning
WTF???
I wonder if the burns and the traumatic event could trigger his vitiligo and lupus. Maybe external and internal stress could have triggert it. Michael Jackson stated that his vitiligo started after Thriller and maybe around the time of the burns. Maybe I am just telling bullcrap but maybe it all started with the burns, the body can react under severe stress.
mindfield9 THIS THE SHIT WHY I DONT GO AROUND FIRE ! HUMANS ARE NOT MEANT TO BE BURNT ALIVE ! I AGREE WITH YOUR THEORY!
In Jermaine's book he wrote that Michael actually first found a white spot on his torso in his teens but it didn't start to affect the rest of his body until the 80s. Jermaine also had a white spot on his thigh that a doctor diagnosed as vitiligo but it just never spread for him. It doesn't seem that far fetched to me that the burns and the events that followed could have triggered the vitiligo to spread for Michael along with his lupus.
@@NothingSpecialVideo Don't forget his alopecia.
One of medication side effects is skin lightening and also depression can increase and skin condition if u have it mj said in Oprah's 1993 interview that vitilligo started after off the wall so the pressure of music business and the burn definently increased it
@@nalukubafatuma2900 Ow I thought that he said to Oprah that it started after Thriller, that would also be around the period when he burnt his scalp in 1984
He still used the extra money to donate the hospital. WHAT AN AMAZING MAN.

Thanks for sharing I remember this when Michael Jackson hair caught on fire very sad moment . His hair never did grow back. It changed his life. 💜😥🌹🌻🌹
The world is cruel! The nasty media only wants ratings & money and didn’t care that they are ruining one man’s life! I miss this shy & humble man! King of Music! MJ was a game-changer in music! He dominated 80’s era and even 90’s when rivalries are a big thing! The US media tried to ruin their own national treasure by calling him names! I love this man, he was the humble one despite of success! 2023! Your music lives & dance moves lives MJ! You are indeed a gifted creation! King of Music! True Philanthropist & Humanitarian! From 5-50 years old you’ve been performing to people! He gave it all! People abuse your money, talent & kindness! Those who tried to ruin you using your LOVE for children & your looks are simply evil possessed tormenting your human being state! I will never judge you MJ coz I'm a human being, too! I thank God in Heaven for creating such a masterpiece Michael Jackson!
Smh this started the downfall
This is horrible to watch he didn't deserve this kind of treatment especially when he got ten a bit older he was accused of molesting children he wouldn't touch any kids at all shame on those people for accusing him like that we miss you Michael at least you are in peace at were your at
Imagine how awful it actually must have been for him to lose his hair. His natural hair. He was already so self-critical about his appearance, and then this happened. Sure, the weaves and hair extensions he wore later gave him/us some of the coolest, most iconic hairstyles of all time, but damn... it must've been awful for him.
So sad. Changed him forever. This is why he wore wigs and hair extensions because it burned off part of his hair leaving bald spots. I hope it got better over time and didn't cause a lot of pain
What happened to the producer?!He should take full responsibility for nearly killing MJ!! Wasn't he that creepy guy that came up on stage while MJ was receiving an award?! I remember reading in MJ'S biography that MJ was thankful that the fire didn't hit his face. I nearly cried reading that. I heard also that MJ was threatened to be killed from the age of 12. He must've feared for his life his whole life, yet he gave so much to the whole world!! Not only through music, but also through his enormous humanitarian work! He is truly a multitalented warm hearted great man!! Miss him so much!!
I'm really sorry Michael 😢 that's horrible to watch how media isn't leaving him alone😥 poor man tortured his whole life 😓
He was tortured his whole life😥 I'm so sorry Michael I believe you're in better place now✨💗
He would’ve still been alive bc w out it he wouldn’t be taking pain killers
yeah, that is sooo sure 🤦🏽♂️, bc no way other things could have happened like... him falling from a lift on stage, him suffering from Lupus and the joint pain that goes with it, him doing so much sports (=> dancing, extreme moves)...
Even with everything he was going through, the man visited other patients. Mike was a bright shining star.
He was so beautiful. I'll never understand why some people feel so insecure about themselves to change so much.. You're perfect just the way you are! Never let anyone else make you feel any different!! 💜🦋💜🦋💜🦋
He was strong and brillant. But the society is a catastrophe !
5:38 mj really looked down in those pics. i feel so bad for him
I truly believe this was the start of all his problems. Totally obsessed with how he looked. He was a beautiful man and beautiful soul.
Denzel Washington said, "At your highest moment, be careful. That's when the devil comes for you." so true. Poor Michael.
This is so sad 😢 & my heart breaks for him !
That damn CURL ACTIVATOR was extremely flammable.
Hope Bob is happy now. Atleast he got the shot he was looking for. Could have shown him how to do it himself.
Great research. Very great 🤘🏻
We loved him forever
09:19 I remember the stories about this photo... People went crazy... They talked about it everywhere...
It was also said that he was an alien and he needed a different environment...
A Legend. So bad this happened to him. Clearly it's the production's fault
Fans just wanted autographs and they could cleary see that he was in pain!
The fact that he didn’t feel the fire burning his head is amazing- like bro I get burned by a dot of fire and it lights up my life. Be setting my soul on fire. Him over here causally just singing and dancing down the steps with fire on his head-
well, yeah, u cant feel ur own hair. he only started feeling it when the fire touched his head.
Plus, do you know how hot it is next to these spot lights, and repeated pyro shots... it can take those 2 seconds to realize why your head is getting hotter.... especially if you're totally focussed on your act, on top.
His such a humble person, who do you know who will take pictures with fans, patience’s and doctors while being in hospital in excruciating pain ❤️ and he donated all that money to the hospital God bless him 🥺 and may God rest his soul 🙏🏽 we love you and miss you Michael you’ll never be forgotten 🥰 Your legacy will continue to live on years from now....
Even when he found out he had lupus
He still was the greatest entertainer in the world
