Michael jackson, the Final Years!

This investigation separates the
bitter truth from the multilayered
lies and media distortions
as the world says “goodbye” to
the King of Pop.
This book delivers new revelations
about Michael Jackson’s controversial
life and legacy: his multiple
plastic surgeries, his skin bleaching,
his sexual identity and his potentially
fatal genetic condition. In
addition, Jackson’s biographer Ian Halperin exposes
the pop stars’ prescription drug use
and its role in the infamous 2002
baby dangling incident; the organized
attempts to convert him to
Scientology; the lineage of Michael's
three children and whether
he is the biological father as he
claims.
Halperin scrutinizes Jackson's
countless accusers, questions the
former star's affection for children
and talks to the performer’s celebrity
supporters, including Liza
Minelli. From Jackson's dramatic
marriage to Lisa Marie Presley to
gay lovers to decade-long run-ins
with his nemesis, former California
District Attorney Tom Sneddon,
Halperin dispels the popular
myths about Michael Jackson.

In late December 2009, 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 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 advisers 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. Beyond Michael’s masks, Halperin gets to the truth!
