so you're talking about someone who's

not just a great artist great writer

44
00:02:17,680 --> 00:02:21,440
great performer but he was a visualist

45

[Music]

53
00:02:38,760 --> 00:02:44,720
was over the past 40 years no other

54
00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:48,080
celebrity has been as respected or as

55
00:02:44,720 --> 00:02:51,159
reviled as Michael Jackson probably the

56
00:02:48,080 --> 00:02:53,560
most famous pop star of all time Michael

57
00:02:51,159 --> 00:02:56,760
Jackson had exceptional

58
00:02:53,560 --> 00:03:00,200
talent but he lived a controversial life

59
00:02:56,760 --> 00:03:03,599
and died a controversial death

60
00:03:00,200 --> 00:03:05,760
during Dr Conrad Murray's trial an audio

61
00:03:03,599 --> 00:03:07,920
tape of Michael Jackson sounding heavily

62
00:03:05,760 --> 00:03:10,720
sedated a month before his death was

63
00:03:07,920 --> 00:03:13,120
played in court it was discovered on

64
00:03:10,720 --> 00:03:15,200
Murray's cell phone and was used by the

65
00:03:13,120 --> 00:03:18,879
prosecution to prove that Michael had

66
00:03:15,200 --> 00:03:20,920
put his life in the hands of his

67
00:03:18,879 --> 00:03:27,760
doctor you

68
00:03:20,920 --> 00:03:30,120
believe my show I want say I never seen

69
00:03:27,760 --> 00:03:32,720
nothing like this in my life in his

70
00:03:30,120 --> 00:03:34,799
closing argument the prosecution said

71
00:03:32,720 --> 00:03:39,400
the doctor caused the star's death on

72
00:03:34,799 --> 00:03:41,760
June 25th 2009 through negligence

73
00:03:39,400 --> 00:03:45,080
depriving Jackson's children of their

74
00:03:41,760 --> 00:03:47,439
father and the world of a genius the

75
00:03:45,080 --> 00:03:49,720
defense argument that Jackson was a drug

76
00:03:47,439 --> 00:03:52,360
addict who caused his own death by

77
00:03:49,720 --> 00:03:53,560
giving himself an extra dose of propo

78
00:03:52,360 --> 00:03:56,200
was

79
00:03:53,560 --> 00:03:57,640
overthrown of course I think that his

80
00:03:56,200 --> 00:04:00,079
death could be prevented if he had a

81
00:03:57,640 --> 00:04:02,079
good physician I just believe believe he

82
00:04:00,079 --> 00:04:05,239
was in the wrong hands my friends in the

83
00:04:02,079 --> 00:04:07,120
medical profession were shocked when

84
00:04:05,239 --> 00:04:09,439
they heard that Michael had been using

85
00:04:07,120 --> 00:04:12,560
this drug because they told me they

86
00:04:09,439 --> 00:04:16,479
never let it be used outside of Hospital

87
00:04:12,560 --> 00:04:19,479
conditions to take it in a domestic

88
00:04:16,479 --> 00:04:22,680
situation is to invite a tragedy Dr

89
00:04:19,479 --> 00:04:26,360
Murray violated the most

90
00:04:22,680 --> 00:04:28,520
basic um aspects of the of the doctor

91
00:04:26,360 --> 00:04:31,240
patient relationship it was gross

92
00:04:28,520 --> 00:04:33,680
neglect someone like Michael Jackson

93
00:04:31,240 --> 00:04:36,680
should have had a proper

94
00:04:33,680 --> 00:04:38,880
doctor with Dr Murray behind bars for

95
00:04:36,680 --> 00:04:41,120
some anger about what happened in the

96
00:04:38,880 --> 00:04:43,320
Stars Final hours was combined with a

97
00:04:41,120 --> 00:04:45,800
feeling of relief that allegations that

98
00:04:43,320 --> 00:04:47,919
Michael had taken his own life had been

99
00:04:45,800 --> 00:04:52,160
thoroughly

100
00:04:47,919 --> 00:04:54,000
disproved he had so much going for him

101
00:04:52,160 --> 00:04:57,199
he wouldn't have done it a for his

102
00:04:54,000 --> 00:05:00,160
children which meant everything to him

103
00:04:57,199 --> 00:05:03,880
he he there's no question that that

104
00:05:00,160 --> 00:05:06,880
Michael would ever have have killed

105
00:05:03,880 --> 00:05:08,960
himself of course despite his tragic

106
00:05:06,880 --> 00:05:11,080
early death the legend of Michael

107
00:05:08,960 --> 00:05:14,560
Jackson the man who became known as the

108
00:05:11,080 --> 00:05:16,600
King of Pop is destined to live on so

109
00:05:14,560 --> 00:05:19,680
what was it about Michael Jackson's

110
00:05:16,600 --> 00:05:22,840
contribution to music dance and fashion

111
00:05:19,680 --> 00:05:26,960
and his much publicized personal life

112
00:05:22,840 --> 00:05:26,960
that caused him to be such a global

113
00:05:27,080 --> 00:05:31,919
phenomenon Michael Joseph Jackson was

114
00:05:29,440 --> 00:05:35,680
Bor born in the industrial city of Gary

115
00:05:31,919 --> 00:05:38,520
in Indiana on the 29th of August

116
00:05:35,680 --> 00:05:41,639
1958 the 7eventh of nine

117
00:05:38,520 --> 00:05:44,000
children his father Joseph Jackson a

118
00:05:41,639 --> 00:05:46,600
steel mill worker recognized his

119
00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:50,000
children's musical talents and organized

120
00:05:46,600 --> 00:05:51,240
a family band made up of Jackie Germaine

121
00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:54,759
Tito and

122
00:05:51,240 --> 00:05:56,960
Marlin in 1963 when Michael was just

123
00:05:54,759 --> 00:06:00,160
five he also joined the

124
00:05:56,960 --> 00:06:01,880
group Joe was a firm disciplinarian

125
00:06:00,160 --> 00:06:04,319
who scheduled a strict regime for

126
00:06:01,880 --> 00:06:06,880
Michael and his brothers and their

127
00:06:04,319 --> 00:06:09,919
Relentless hours of practice left very

128
00:06:06,880 --> 00:06:12,919
little time for normal childhood

129
00:06:09,919 --> 00:06:19,199
activities did you meet Joe I've met Joe

130
00:06:12,919 --> 00:06:21,360
a few times and um well he's um he's the

131
00:06:19,199 --> 00:06:24,639
father of Michael but they are so

132
00:06:21,360 --> 00:06:26,720
totally different um like J and cheese

133
00:06:24,639 --> 00:06:29,080
if you look at his background he's come

134
00:06:26,720 --> 00:06:33,039
from basic he was a welder in a very

135
00:06:29,080 --> 00:06:35,039
poor town in Mid America and uh has been

136
00:06:33,039 --> 00:06:38,560
catapulted through on the back of his

137
00:06:35,039 --> 00:06:41,960
children into some huge stardom Michael

138
00:06:38,560 --> 00:06:43,880
is is is probably like complete opposite

139
00:06:41,960 --> 00:06:45,599
Michael described his relationship with

140
00:06:43,880 --> 00:06:48,319
his father as

141
00:06:45,599 --> 00:06:51,080
turbulent Joe was so determined his sons

142
00:06:48,319 --> 00:06:54,240
would be successful that in rehearsals a

143
00:06:51,080 --> 00:06:56,039
fumbled note or a misstep could lead to

144
00:06:54,240 --> 00:07:00,000
harsh physical

145
00:06:56,039 --> 00:07:03,599
punishment Michael himself

146
00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:06,599
talked of the horror of uh being beaten

147
00:07:03,599 --> 00:07:08,280
by his father whipped was the word and

148
00:07:06,599 --> 00:07:10,800
how his father would sit there as they

149
00:07:08,280 --> 00:07:13,440
were rehearsing with a belt waiting to

150
00:07:10,800 --> 00:07:15,440
smack them if they got it wrong but then

151
00:07:13,440 --> 00:07:18,520
on the other hand he called his father a

152
00:07:15,440 --> 00:07:21,199
genius for instilling in them the

153
00:07:18,520 --> 00:07:24,000
discipline to present this slick stage

154
00:07:21,199 --> 00:07:26,599
act from my analysis I believe that

155
00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:29,240
Michael was a very sensitive very very

156
00:07:26,599 --> 00:07:30,879
sensitive kind of individual so even

157
00:07:29,240 --> 00:07:32,479
though you you have a really strict

158
00:07:30,879 --> 00:07:34,639
strict parents there are some children

159
00:07:32,479 --> 00:07:36,520
that can handle that strictness but

160
00:07:34,639 --> 00:07:38,400
there are other children it really

161
00:07:36,520 --> 00:07:40,759
affects them people respond to that kind

162
00:07:38,400 --> 00:07:43,039
of abuse differently and with some of

163
00:07:40,759 --> 00:07:44,720
the other brothers I think that you know

164
00:07:43,039 --> 00:07:46,800
it didn't impact them the same way

165
00:07:44,720 --> 00:07:48,520
psychologically that it did Michael it

166
00:07:46,800 --> 00:07:50,120
really hurt him and he carried it

167
00:07:48,520 --> 00:07:53,720
throughout the rest of his life you know

168
00:07:50,120 --> 00:07:56,560
that his father drove him and pushed him

169
00:07:53,720 --> 00:07:58,400
but never treated him like a son every

170
00:07:56,560 --> 00:08:00,840
time he would speak about his father his

171
00:07:58,400 --> 00:08:03,199
face would contort you could see that he

172
00:08:00,840 --> 00:08:05,759
was really really stressed about his

173
00:08:03,199 --> 00:08:07,800
experience with his father it definitely

174
00:08:05,759 --> 00:08:09,759
had a damaging effect on him it really

175
00:08:07,800 --> 00:08:12,599
did Michael later said he was made to

176
00:08:09,759 --> 00:08:14,800
work too hard for a child but also

177
00:08:12,599 --> 00:08:16,360
recalled singing and dancing with real

178
00:08:14,800 --> 00:08:19,039
joy as a

179
00:08:16,360 --> 00:08:21,520
youngster he did discuss um his

180
00:08:19,039 --> 00:08:23,919
childhood with me um and I think that

181
00:08:21,520 --> 00:08:25,919
he's been quite open about his childhood

182
00:08:23,919 --> 00:08:28,080
in terms of his relationship with his

183
00:08:25,919 --> 00:08:29,599
father I think what the public doesn't

184
00:08:28,080 --> 00:08:31,479
know is that he forgave his father

185
00:08:29,599 --> 00:08:34,560
father for some of the hurt that was

186
00:08:31,479 --> 00:08:36,320
caused and at the end of his life he was

187
00:08:34,560 --> 00:08:38,719
very much on good terms with his father

188
00:08:36,320 --> 00:08:42,120
so I think that a lot of the things that

189
00:08:38,719 --> 00:08:45,000
they happened a long time ago and you

190
00:08:42,120 --> 00:08:46,959
know Michael forgave I think if Joe

191
00:08:45,000 --> 00:08:48,880
didn't do what he did there would have

192
00:08:46,959 --> 00:08:50,480
been no Michael Jackson I'm not one of

193
00:08:48,880 --> 00:08:52,880
these people that say you know point the

194
00:08:50,480 --> 00:08:56,080
finger at the father he took a very poor

195
00:08:52,880 --> 00:08:57,680
family took a talent that He Saw and he

196
00:08:56,080 --> 00:09:00,279
gave it to the

197
00:08:57,680 --> 00:09:02,880
World by the time he was was eight

198
00:09:00,279 --> 00:09:05,200
Michael had emerged as the group's lead

199
00:09:02,880 --> 00:09:07,800
vocalist the Jackson brothers changed

200
00:09:05,200 --> 00:09:10,560
their name to the Jackson 5 and toured

201
00:09:07,800 --> 00:09:14,600
clubs all over the American

202
00:09:10,560 --> 00:09:17,120
Midwest Joe Jackson was always very very

203
00:09:14,600 --> 00:09:19,839
certain that he was going to turn his

204
00:09:17,120 --> 00:09:21,920
children into Stars think it was

205
00:09:19,839 --> 00:09:24,720
probably pretty disturbing to him in

206
00:09:21,920 --> 00:09:27,480
many ways that Michael was the brother

207
00:09:24,720 --> 00:09:29,640
who very clearly was the most talented

208
00:09:27,480 --> 00:09:32,040
because he was never particularly close

209
00:09:29,640 --> 00:09:34,680
to Michael and he always probably gave

210
00:09:32,040 --> 00:09:36,920
Michael the harshest treatment Michael

211
00:09:34,680 --> 00:09:39,440
was already showing a remarkable range

212
00:09:36,920 --> 00:09:41,519
in depth for such a young performer

213
00:09:39,440 --> 00:09:44,720
impressing audiences with his great

214
00:09:41,519 --> 00:09:47,320
dancing and ability to convey complex

215
00:09:44,720 --> 00:09:49,440
emotions after winning a major local

216
00:09:47,320 --> 00:09:52,959

217
00:09:49,440 --> 00:09:56,000

the legendary mtown record label

220
00:09:59,920 --> 00:10:06,160

Robinson's uh who's loving you at 10

old he sung it like he felt he had been

224
00:10:10,640 --> 00:10:17,079
here he had known the song for 50 years

225
00:10:14,640 --> 00:10:21,200
the pain the torture he could put that

226
00:10:17,079 --> 00:10:23,760
into music and lyrics and feeling you

227
00:10:21,200 --> 00:10:26,000

228
00:10:23,760 --> 00:10:28,800

[Music]

238
00:10:56,440 --> 00:11:04,140
Michael so charismatic

239
00:11:00,160 --> 00:11:06,880
and then he lands on the first word

240
00:11:04,140 --> 00:11:10,839

244
00:11:16,240 --> 00:11:21,079
Classic pop song uh you know just bursts

245
00:11:19,240 --> 00:11:24,120
right out of the speakers and there's so

246
00:11:21,079 --> 00:11:26,320
much vibrancy to the to the record it

247
00:11:24,120 --> 00:11:27,600
was a little bit a little bit of soul

248
00:11:26,320 --> 00:11:32,519
but also what was referred to as

249
00:11:27,600 --> 00:11:35,160
bubblegum pop baby give me one more

250

couldn't it was infectious it wasn't

253

just it about it being catchy but it was

254
00:11:41,560 --> 00:11:45,160
also the vocal delivery was fantastic by

255
00:11:43,600 --> 00:11:48,150
this little man with his brothers behind

256
00:11:45,160 --> 00:11:55,600
him it was just like wow how did they do

257
00:11:48,150 --> 00:11:58,480
[Music]

258
00:11:55,600 --> 00:12:00,040
that everybody was just fanatical about

259
00:11:58,480 --> 00:12:01,880
them I mean you want to your hair like

260
00:12:00,040 --> 00:12:03,800
them you wanted to wear the same clothes

261
00:12:01,880 --> 00:12:05,320
I mean you just didn't even want to go

262
00:12:03,800 --> 00:12:08,200
to school anymore I mean that's how it

263
00:12:05,320 --> 00:12:08,200
was for us we were

264
00:12:09,600 --> 00:12:15,580
obsessed he transcended color all

265
00:12:12,839 --> 00:12:18,440
barriers everybody just loved

266
00:12:15,580 --> 00:12:21,440
[Music]

267
00:12:18,440 --> 00:12:21,440
them

268
00:12:22,320 --> 00:12:28,040
but Michael the youngest and the lead

269
00:12:25,639 --> 00:12:30,600
was only 11 years old but the record

270
00:12:28,040 --> 00:12:33,639
label claimed he was even younger saying

271
00:12:30,600 --> 00:12:36,680
he was just nine to make him appear even

272
00:12:33,639 --> 00:12:39,839
cuter The Jackson 5 demonstrated the

273
00:12:36,680 --> 00:12:42,800
traditional Paradox of child stars kids

274
00:12:39,839 --> 00:12:45,519
energy combined with unbelievably

275
00:12:42,800 --> 00:12:49,320
professional dance moves it was obvious

276
00:12:45,519 --> 00:12:51,560
that uh Joe the father had instilled in

277
00:12:49,320 --> 00:12:53,199
them the necessity to be visually as

278
00:12:51,560 --> 00:12:55,160
well as musically appealing and of

279
00:12:53,199 --> 00:12:58,279
course those giant afro

280
00:12:55,160 --> 00:13:00,639
helped and the colorful shirts and the

281
00:12:58,279 --> 00:13:05,199
bell bottom trousers they were the real

282
00:13:00,639 --> 00:13:08,000
deal and they were instantly imitated

283
00:13:05,199 --> 00:13:10,199
across the culture Jackson Mania swept

284
00:13:08,000 --> 00:13:12,880
the nation and within a year of their

285
00:13:10,199 --> 00:13:15,959
debut The Jackson 5 were among the

286
00:13:12,880 --> 00:13:18,519
biggest names in popular music all four

287
00:13:15,959 --> 00:13:21,279
of the Jackson 5's first singles reached

288
00:13:18,519 --> 00:13:24,320
the number one spot in the United States

289
00:13:21,279 --> 00:13:26,839
and were also International

290
00:13:24,320 --> 00:13:29,600
hits most agreed that it was Michael

291
00:13:26,839 --> 00:13:32,000
with his extraordinary versatile voice

292
00:13:29,600 --> 00:13:34,279
and smooth dance moves who is the

293
00:13:32,000 --> 00:13:36,160
principal reason for the Jackson 5's

294
00:13:34,279 --> 00:13:39,399
amazing International

295
00:13:36,160 --> 00:13:42,920
appeal Michael even at that early age

296
00:13:39,399 --> 00:13:45,199
had emotional Insight whether this was

297
00:13:42,920 --> 00:13:47,360
because he was the youngest brother and

298
00:13:45,199 --> 00:13:50,440
had been subjected

299
00:13:47,360 --> 00:13:51,639
to what we are told were brutalities by

300
00:13:50,440 --> 00:13:54,120
the

301
00:13:51,639 --> 00:13:57,120
father whether he had this loneliness

302
00:13:54,120 --> 00:14:00,440
that he said he did he was emotionally

303
00:13:57,120 --> 00:14:03,360
aware before most young people

304
00:14:00,440 --> 00:14:06,440
and he could invest a lyric with an

305
00:14:03,360 --> 00:14:08,320
emotional delivery as a kid Michael was

306
00:14:06,440 --> 00:14:11,959
always Beyond his

307
00:14:08,320 --> 00:14:16,160
years he was an innovator he

308
00:14:11,959 --> 00:14:18,800
was uh a genius at what he did having

309
00:14:16,160 --> 00:14:20,880
the experience of being a child star led

310
00:14:18,800 --> 00:14:24,079
to his strong friendship with Mark

311
00:14:20,880 --> 00:14:27,440
Lester who had made his name as a child

312
00:14:24,079 --> 00:14:29,920
actor in the title role of the 1968 film

313
00:14:27,440 --> 00:14:32,199
Oliver Michael St started at the age of

314
00:14:29,920 --> 00:14:33,959
five I started at the age of five so you

315
00:14:32,199 --> 00:14:36,720
know we were always kind of comparing

316
00:14:33,959 --> 00:14:39,160
obviously Michael's Fame was infinitely

317
00:14:36,720 --> 00:14:40,959
more than mine but um you know having

318
00:14:39,160 --> 00:14:43,519
being in the in the spotlight at such an

319
00:14:40,959 --> 00:14:46,040
early age and we used to share memories

320
00:14:43,519 --> 00:14:48,800
about our early times he said you know

321
00:14:46,040 --> 00:14:50,839
when when these tetiny bot magazines

322
00:14:48,800 --> 00:14:54,320
came out were in the states there's one

323
00:14:50,839 --> 00:14:56,440
called Tiger Beat I think and 17 there

324
00:14:54,320 --> 00:14:58,240
were four people that used to feature

325
00:14:56,440 --> 00:15:01,720
and one of them was Michael who

326
00:14:58,240 --> 00:15:05,399
obviously dominated ated Donnie Osmond

327
00:15:01,720 --> 00:15:08,480
uh David Cassidy myself oh and Jack Wild

328
00:15:05,399 --> 00:15:11,000
so there was five who not always but

329
00:15:08,480 --> 00:15:12,839
were kind of the ones that were were

330
00:15:11,000 --> 00:15:14,240
shown most in these magazines and

331
00:15:12,839 --> 00:15:15,800
Michael would pick up these magazines

332
00:15:14,240 --> 00:15:18,199
and quite often there would be a page of

333
00:15:15,800 --> 00:15:21,440
Michael and the next page would be me so

334
00:15:18,199 --> 00:15:25,120
he's kind of thought there was some some

335
00:15:21,440 --> 00:15:29,759
sort of parallelism between

336
00:15:25,120 --> 00:15:31,240
us he did tell me that he enjoyed the

337
00:15:29,759 --> 00:15:33,680
film Oliver and it was his favorite

338
00:15:31,240 --> 00:15:38,440
musical and it remained his favorite

339
00:15:33,680 --> 00:15:41,720
musical all his life which was kind of

340
00:15:38,440 --> 00:15:44,079
odd coming from Michael who has

341
00:15:41,720 --> 00:15:46,720
dominated the pop charts for so long and

342
00:15:44,079 --> 00:15:48,759
made so many wonderful records for him

343
00:15:46,720 --> 00:15:50,519
to tell me that this was his favorite

344
00:15:48,759 --> 00:15:53,639
music was something else it was quite an

345
00:15:50,519 --> 00:15:55,600
honor really in 1972 Michael got his

346
00:15:53,639 --> 00:15:58,480
first taste of solo success with the

347
00:15:55,600 --> 00:15:59,480
title song to the film Ben which was a

348
00:15:58,480 --> 00:16:01,839
hit

349
00:15:59,480 --> 00:16:03,680
worldwide throughout these early days it

350
00:16:01,839 --> 00:16:05,880
was clear Michael was using every

351
00:16:03,680 --> 00:16:08,440
opportunity to prepare for his

352
00:16:05,880 --> 00:16:10,319
future when he wasn't performing he was

353
00:16:08,440 --> 00:16:12,440
to the side of the stage in the Apollo

354
00:16:10,319 --> 00:16:14,680
in the Regal and he was watching people

355
00:16:12,440 --> 00:16:16,959
like James Brown and people like Smokey

356
00:16:14,680 --> 00:16:18,920
Robinson and Jackie Wilson and he was

357
00:16:16,959 --> 00:16:21,720
watching and learning and picking things

358
00:16:18,920 --> 00:16:24,800
up and so he was such a student uh of

359
00:16:21,720 --> 00:16:27,079
his craft that um when it was time for

360
00:16:24,800 --> 00:16:31,199
him to Branch out on his own he had a

361
00:16:27,079 --> 00:16:34,279
lot of ideas by 19 1975 after 13 albums

362
00:16:31,199 --> 00:16:36,040
and countless top 10 hits mtown and the

363
00:16:34,279 --> 00:16:38,639
Jacksons were to part

364
00:16:36,040 --> 00:16:42,120
company with a fresh start at Epic

365
00:16:38,639 --> 00:16:44,440
Records and renamed simply The Jacksons

366
00:16:42,120 --> 00:16:48,079
the journey was far from Over the hits

367
00:16:44,440 --> 00:16:50,000
just kept on coming in 1977 Michael

368
00:16:48,079 --> 00:16:52,920
Jackson starred in a feature film The

369
00:16:50,000 --> 00:16:55,600
Whiz a remake of The Wizard of Oz

370
00:16:52,920 --> 00:16:57,839
featuring an all black cast Michael

371
00:16:55,600 --> 00:16:59,839
played the Scarecrow and Diana Ross

372
00:16:57,839 --> 00:17:01,360
played Dorothy

373
00:16:59,839 --> 00:17:04,480
it was on the set of the whiz that

374
00:17:01,360 --> 00:17:06,520
Michael was introduced to Quincy Jones

375
00:17:04,480 --> 00:17:09,360
which led to Jones producing Michael's

376
00:17:06,520 --> 00:17:12,520
first astonishing and original solo

377
00:17:09,360 --> 00:17:16,440
album off thewall the first single

378
00:17:12,520 --> 00:17:22,160
released was Don't Stop Till You Get

379
00:17:16,440 --> 00:17:24,760
[Music]

380
00:17:22,160 --> 00:17:26,640
Enough Don't Stop Till You Get Enough

381
00:17:24,760 --> 00:17:29,120
went straight to number one there's just

382
00:17:26,640 --> 00:17:31,640
so much energy in it rhythmically it

383
00:17:29,120 --> 00:17:33,190
complex and it's just amazing the kind

384
00:17:31,640 --> 00:17:37,779
of

385
00:17:33,190 --> 00:17:37,779
[Music]

386
00:17:38,000 --> 00:17:41,679
craftsmanship his mother actually was

387
00:17:40,000 --> 00:17:43,760
concerned about the title of the song

388
00:17:41,679 --> 00:17:47,600
because it could be interpreted

389
00:17:43,760 --> 00:17:48,960
sexually uh and and Michael told her you

390
00:17:47,600 --> 00:17:50,799
know people will think what they want to

391
00:17:48,960 --> 00:17:52,559
think you know and so he kind of wanted

392
00:17:50,799 --> 00:17:55,530
to leave it open like that and just kind

393
00:17:52,559 --> 00:17:58,770
of be a bit Koy with him

394
00:17:55,530 --> 00:17:58,770
[Music]

395
00:17:59,240 --> 00:18:03,320
where we

396
00:18:00,799 --> 00:18:05,080
are Don't Stop Till You Get Enough was a

397
00:18:03,320 --> 00:18:06,720
really significant turning point for

398
00:18:05,080 --> 00:18:09,880
Michael Jackson because it proved that

399
00:18:06,720 --> 00:18:12,679
he was the solo Jackson

400
00:18:09,880 --> 00:18:16,240
[Music]

401
00:18:12,679 --> 00:18:18,840
now when that song came out and he was

402
00:18:16,240 --> 00:18:21,679
just on his own and that that video you

403
00:18:18,840 --> 00:18:23,440
can never forget that video cuz there's

404
00:18:21,679 --> 00:18:27,799
nothing else in the video except for him

405
00:18:23,440 --> 00:18:27,799
in a suit dancing

406
00:18:28,020 --> 00:18:32,840
[Music]

407
00:18:30,640 --> 00:18:35,919
off the- wall established Michael as an

408
00:18:32,840 --> 00:18:38,640
artist of undeniable talent and a star

409
00:18:35,919 --> 00:18:41,600
in his own right it went platinum

410
00:18:38,640 --> 00:18:44,280
selling over 7 million copies the

411
00:18:41,600 --> 00:18:46,799
album's success led to Michael's 9-year

412
00:18:44,280 --> 00:18:49,520
partnership with Quincy

413
00:18:46,799 --> 00:18:52,120
Jones their next collaboration was the

414
00:18:49,520 --> 00:18:54,880
album Thriller in

415
00:18:52,120 --> 00:18:59,000
1982 the first single released the girl

416
00:18:54,880 --> 00:19:02,039
is mine did not suggest great things it

417
00:18:59,000 --> 00:19:04,039
was a nice pop song a duet with Paul

418
00:19:02,039 --> 00:19:08,400
McCartney got to number two I think

419
00:19:04,039 --> 00:19:11,720
million Celler but not a classic then

420
00:19:08,400 --> 00:19:15,919
Billy Jean and the ground moves beneath

421
00:19:11,720 --> 00:19:19,000
us Billy Jean is is probably Michael's

422
00:19:15,919 --> 00:19:22,480
most famous song it became this big hit

423
00:19:19,000 --> 00:19:25,360
with a very unusual theme um it's a

424
00:19:22,480 --> 00:19:29,600
darker song It's a song about distrust

425
00:19:25,360 --> 00:19:32,799
and anxiety and paranoia she was more

426
00:19:29,600 --> 00:19:36,080
like a beauty queen from a movie scene I

427
00:19:32,799 --> 00:19:39,440
sh don't mind but what do you mean I am

428
00:19:36,080 --> 00:19:42,520
the one Michael was beginning to write

429
00:19:39,440 --> 00:19:45,400
songs that that maybe got people to

430
00:19:42,520 --> 00:19:46,400
dance still but also that were exploring

431
00:19:45,400 --> 00:19:48,440
some of the things that he was

432
00:19:46,400 --> 00:19:51,080
experiencing the Billy Jean story from

433
00:19:48,440 --> 00:19:53,360
my memory was to do with all the fans

434
00:19:51,080 --> 00:19:56,120
that used to come to see them especially

435
00:19:53,360 --> 00:19:59,600
in the Jackson 5 time and I think

436
00:19:56,120 --> 00:20:03,010
Michael was really shocked at the way

437
00:19:59,600 --> 00:20:08,099
people were so psychopatic about

438
00:20:03,010 --> 00:20:08,099
[Music]

439
00:20:09,120 --> 00:20:15,120
them he had an amazing um amazing

440
00:20:13,200 --> 00:20:17,280
creative mind that he would take this

441
00:20:15,120 --> 00:20:21,799
fanaticism that was aimed at him and

442
00:20:17,280 --> 00:20:21,799
turn it into this kind of story in a

443
00:20:23,720 --> 00:20:29,840
song

444
00:20:25,600 --> 00:20:32,679
just that I am the one with Billy Jean

445
00:20:29,840 --> 00:20:34,240
you just got this classic Baseline and

446
00:20:32,679 --> 00:20:36,640
then you just have this amazing the

447
00:20:34,240 --> 00:20:38,440
strings and the kind of atmosphere of it

448
00:20:36,640 --> 00:20:41,280
sometimes Michael doesn't get the credit

449
00:20:38,440 --> 00:20:45,080
that he deserves as a composer but this

450
00:20:41,280 --> 00:20:48,000
was a song that Michael had very um

451
00:20:45,080 --> 00:20:49,880
close to finish at his home studio but

452
00:20:48,000 --> 00:20:53,320
then they brought it in and just

453
00:20:49,880 --> 00:20:57,640
polished that and perfected

454
00:20:53,320 --> 00:20:57,640
it my son

455
00:20:59,080 --> 00:21:03,280
the Billy Jean video was impressive

456
00:21:01,480 --> 00:21:05,960
because he could see it was an actual

457
00:21:03,280 --> 00:21:08,039
film set and he every time he would walk

458
00:21:05,960 --> 00:21:10,520
on the steps the lights would come on

459
00:21:08,039 --> 00:21:13,080
he's practiced these dance steps till he

460
00:21:10,520 --> 00:21:15,720
knows them in his sleep he mastered

461
00:21:13,080 --> 00:21:17,679
everything the timing was impeccable it

462
00:21:15,720 --> 00:21:19,640
was incredible how he was able to take a

463
00:21:17,679 --> 00:21:21,679
set and turn it

464
00:21:19,640 --> 00:21:23,000
into something that you couldn't get

465
00:21:21,679 --> 00:21:24,440
your eyes off from the time he was

466
00:21:23,000 --> 00:21:27,279
walking down the street past the

467
00:21:24,440 --> 00:21:29,600
buildings you were captivated I it's

468
00:21:27,279 --> 00:21:33,000
quite a simple idea you think about it

469
00:21:29,600 --> 00:21:36,849
but he executed it in a way that had you

472
00:21:41,000 --> 00:21:46,480
variety of reasons it

473
00:21:43,600 --> 00:21:48,960
forced MTV to play videos by black

474
00:21:46,480 --> 00:21:52,000
artists Walter yetnikoff who was the

475
00:21:48,960 --> 00:21:54,000

476
00:21:52,000 --> 00:21:55,960

478
00:21:55,960 --> 00:22:02,600
was such a big hit and MTV had to recan

479
00:21:59,760 --> 00:22:05,559

527
00:24:15,799 --> 00:24:20,240
the distinctive spooky voice of horror

Price they had begun recording and

530
00:24:23,840 --> 00:24:27,640
Quincy Jones said you know what if we

531
00:24:25,720 --> 00:24:29,200
brought in Vincent Price and Michael

532
00:24:27,640 --> 00:24:32,440
didn't know who he was at the time but

533
00:24:29,200 --> 00:24:34,760
once Quincy kind of familiarized him uh

534
00:24:32,440 --> 00:24:36,720
Michael was all on board and they

535
00:24:34,760 --> 00:24:37,960
brought in Vincent Price and I think it

536
00:24:36,720 --> 00:24:42,120
took one or two

537
00:24:37,960 --> 00:24:47,919

different musical influences was

550

unique he was drawing from such a rich

00:25:19,399 --> 00:25:24,840
diverse background um so he was fusing

552
00:25:22,760 --> 00:25:26,880
things that normally wouldn't be fused

553
00:25:24,840 --> 00:25:29,399
it's one thing for for Michael to be

554
00:25:26,880 --> 00:25:32,120
mimicking James Brown it's another thing

555

and the four of us had worked together

591

in studio situations before we had

592
00:27:05,120 --> 00:27:08,640

completely tuned in what he's doing as

595

well as being tuned into what you're

596
00:27:12,120 --> 00:27:16,600
doing behind him and that's nice for a

597
00:27:13,840 --> 00:27:18,600
singer because um he can appreciate what

598
00:27:16,600 --> 00:27:20,679
we do because it's what he does and he

599
00:27:18,600 --> 00:27:22,360
has an ear for that and and if you do

600
00:27:20,679 --> 00:27:24,440
something that he likes then he he

601
00:27:22,360 --> 00:27:26,399
comments on it and you don't always get

602
00:27:24,440 --> 00:27:27,840
that with with really big people you

603
00:27:26,399 --> 00:27:30,000
know he could be just tuned in what he's

604
00:27:27,840 --> 00:27:32,080
doing and then split but he's not you

605
00:27:30,000 --> 00:27:33,720

Brian oxman the Jackson family lawyer

628
00:28:31,000 --> 00:28:35,240
claims the medication prescribed to

629
00:28:32,880 --> 00:28:37,640
Michael Jackson during this time led to

630
00:28:35,240 --> 00:28:40,480
his long-term addiction to

631
00:28:37,640 --> 00:28:43,240
painkillers when he burnt his hair at

632
00:28:40,480 --> 00:28:46,360
the Pepsi commercial he started using

633
00:28:43,240 --> 00:28:49,840
painkillers then he then fell from a

634
00:28:46,360 --> 00:28:52,399
stage and broke his leg he also cracked

635
00:28:49,840 --> 00:28:55,640
a vertebrae in his back and those things

636
00:28:52,399 --> 00:28:55,640
have caused him terrible

637
00:28:56,159 --> 00:29:05,279
pain in 1987 the album Bad was released

638
00:29:01,000 --> 00:29:07,640
bad is the last of the trilogy produced

639
00:29:05,279 --> 00:29:11,320
by Quincy Jones by the time bad comes

640
00:29:07,640 --> 00:29:14,120
around Michael's self-image has changed

641
00:29:11,320 --> 00:29:17,799
with off-the-wall he wanted to make an

642
00:29:14,120 --> 00:29:21,320
important Hit album after off the- wall

643
00:29:17,799 --> 00:29:24,240
he felt the work underrecognized and was

644
00:29:21,320 --> 00:29:27,559
hungry for Mass acceptance across the

645
00:29:24,240 --> 00:29:30,080
pop world he achieved that with thriller

646
00:29:27,559 --> 00:29:33,519
so now he's beginning to worry about his

647
00:29:30,080 --> 00:29:37,559
personal image and so he poses on the

648
00:29:33,519 --> 00:29:41,080
sleeve of bad looking like a tough guy

649
00:29:37,559 --> 00:29:44,080
in that respect bad was the

650
00:29:41,080 --> 00:29:46,399
beginning of the personality Cult of

651
00:29:44,080 --> 00:29:48,600
Michael Jackson the title track bad was

652
00:29:46,399 --> 00:29:50,200
actually intended as a duet with Prince

653
00:29:48,600 --> 00:29:51,600
Michael had already written the song and

654
00:29:50,200 --> 00:29:53,440
Prince really liked it and Prince said

655
00:29:51,600 --> 00:29:55,480
that he you know it'd be a number one

656
00:29:53,440 --> 00:29:58,480
hit uh but he felt like it was set up

657
00:29:55,480 --> 00:29:59,960
for Michael to win uh you know cuz they

658
00:29:58,480 --> 00:30:01,559
were going to do this big music video

659
00:29:59,960 --> 00:30:03,760
where they're kind of having a dance off

660
00:30:01,559 --> 00:30:06,120
and you know all this kind of drama to

661
00:30:03,760 --> 00:30:09,080
it so Prince backed out and Michael

662
00:30:06,120 --> 00:30:10,890
ended up doing it as a solo and uh it

663
00:30:09,080 --> 00:30:13,080
was a number one

00:30:21,760 --> 00:30:27,519
surprise it was a huge change for

669
00:30:25,360 --> 00:30:30,279
everyone we couldn't believe his image

670
00:30:27,519 --> 00:30:33,880
had Chang that much gone with the

671
00:30:30,279 --> 00:30:37,000
suits and his hair had like Jerry curl

672
00:30:33,880 --> 00:30:39,159
you know like a wet look and he had on

673
00:30:37,000 --> 00:30:41,360
this leather jacket you know with you

674
00:30:39,159 --> 00:30:43,320
know very rockar and we' never seen

675
00:30:41,360 --> 00:30:46,039
Michael look hard like that you know it

676
00:30:43,320 --> 00:30:48,360
was like he' looked like he was this

677
00:30:46,039 --> 00:30:48,360
rock

678
00:30:55,679 --> 00:31:01,440
man at the time I I have to be honest

679
00:30:58,360 --> 00:31:03,440
when I heard bad I was a little bit like

680
00:31:01,440 --> 00:31:06,399
I don't know if I'm feeling him doing

681
00:31:03,440 --> 00:31:08,480
that but what made me change my mind was

682
00:31:06,399 --> 00:31:10,480
the video cuz when I saw the video I was

683
00:31:08,480 --> 00:31:13,080
just like wow this is great cuz they're

684
00:31:10,480 --> 00:31:16,120
in the subway you can't help but watch

685
00:31:13,080 --> 00:31:18,679
that and that made the song better for

686
00:31:16,120 --> 00:31:18,679
me

687
00:31:23,240 --> 00:31:29,080
visual by now Michael Jackson was at the

688
00:31:26,240 --> 00:31:30,919
peak of his Fame with the Bad Tour

689
00:31:29,080 --> 00:31:33,639
attracting huge media attention the

690
00:31:30,919 --> 00:31:36,440
world over before taking to the stage in

691
00:31:33,639 --> 00:31:39,039
the UK Michael presented Prince Charles

692
00:31:36,440 --> 00:31:41,880
and Princess Diana with a

693
00:31:39,039 --> 00:31:44,960
300,000 check from the proceeds of his

694
00:31:41,880 --> 00:31:47,600
Wembley concerts for the prince's trust

695
00:31:44,960 --> 00:31:49,919
a charity supporting disadvantaged

696
00:31:47,600 --> 00:31:53,279
children Michael presented Princess

697
00:31:49,919 --> 00:31:56,080
Diana with two custommade bad World Tour

698
00:31:53,279 --> 00:31:59,600
jackets one each for her young Sons

699
00:31:56,080 --> 00:32:04,440
Prince William and Prince Harry

700
00:31:59,600 --> 00:32:06,399
in 1988 Michael Jackson set up built and

701
00:32:04,440 --> 00:32:09,159
conceived I guess Netherland which is

702
00:32:06,399 --> 00:32:11,480
obviously the place where he would go on

703
00:32:09,159 --> 00:32:13,240
to live for most of the rest of his life

704
00:32:11,480 --> 00:32:17,000
here was a growing man at the peak of

705
00:32:13,240 --> 00:32:20,440
his success who felt the need to live in

706
00:32:17,000 --> 00:32:22,679
a huge amusement park named after the

707
00:32:20,440 --> 00:32:25,279
mythical Island in JM Barry's novel

708
00:32:22,679 --> 00:32:28,399
Peter Pan Neverland was Michael's

709
00:32:25,279 --> 00:32:31,159
fantasy theme park it had a

710
00:32:28,399 --> 00:32:34,559
Ferris wheel and other over-the-top

711
00:32:31,159 --> 00:32:37,279
amusements built on a 3,000 acre ranch

712
00:32:34,559 --> 00:32:41,159
in Santa Barbara California Neverland

713
00:32:37,279 --> 00:32:43,679
was maintained by 54 full-time staff it

714
00:32:41,159 --> 00:32:44,919
was a child's dream world Michael even

715
00:32:43,679 --> 00:32:47,320
had a pet

716
00:32:44,919 --> 00:32:49,360
chimpanzee I was invited to Neverland

717
00:32:47,320 --> 00:32:51,639
the gates open the wooden gates opened

718
00:32:49,360 --> 00:32:53,639
you it's like this yellow brick road

719
00:32:51,639 --> 00:32:55,960
Charli and the Chocolate Factory and

720
00:32:53,639 --> 00:32:59,080
Disney World all combined you know it

721
00:32:55,960 --> 00:33:01,960
was just it was an escape there was a

722
00:32:59,080 --> 00:33:05,200
time we went over to to Netherland my

723
00:33:01,960 --> 00:33:06,760
little girls were about 6 and seven then

724
00:33:05,200 --> 00:33:08,840
and we spent a week with Michael and

725
00:33:06,760 --> 00:33:10,399
Neverland and we went on all the rides

726
00:33:08,840 --> 00:33:12,639
we went around the zoo we had our own

727
00:33:10,399 --> 00:33:15,679
Cinema we could see whatever films we

728
00:33:12,639 --> 00:33:17,000
wanted to see and at the end of the um

729
00:33:15,679 --> 00:33:19,720
at the end of the week that we were

730
00:33:17,000 --> 00:33:22,240
there I said to the girls I said okay

731
00:33:19,720 --> 00:33:24,120
we've been here for a week what's the

732
00:33:22,240 --> 00:33:27,840
best thing you like about Neverland and

733
00:33:24,120 --> 00:33:30,880
my two girls both exactly the same time

734
00:33:27,840 --> 00:33:33,120
said Michael this was a man who having

735
00:33:30,880 --> 00:33:36,279
the money to do anything with his

736
00:33:33,120 --> 00:33:37,279
property chose to make it look like a

737
00:33:36,279 --> 00:33:41,000
child's

738
00:33:37,279 --> 00:33:44,519
home obviously he had

739
00:33:41,000 --> 00:33:48,240
created a paradise for

740
00:33:44,519 --> 00:33:49,880
children but not just other children him

741
00:33:48,240 --> 00:33:52,679
the child as

742
00:33:49,880 --> 00:33:54,840
well Michael would invite children

743
00:33:52,679 --> 00:33:57,000
especially sick children to spend the

744
00:33:54,840 --> 00:34:00,919
day there hoping to create warm

745
00:33:57,000 --> 00:34:00,919
childhood memories for his many young

746
00:34:04,279 --> 00:34:09,240
visitors the thing that struck me about

747
00:34:06,760 --> 00:34:11,760
nland it was packed with underprivileged

748
00:34:09,240 --> 00:34:13,560
children from around the world and there

749
00:34:11,760 --> 00:34:16,200
was coach loads and it cost so much

750
00:34:13,560 --> 00:34:16,200
millions to

751
00:34:18,599 --> 00:34:23,679
run throughout his life Michael Jackson

752
00:34:21,440 --> 00:34:27,040
was a passionate supporter of

753
00:34:23,679 --> 00:34:28,800
Charity in 1992 he set up his own

754
00:34:27,040 --> 00:34:31,359
charity found found a that he called

755
00:34:28,800 --> 00:34:35,040
Heal the World the name of a track from

756
00:34:31,359 --> 00:34:39,040
dangerous the album he had just

757
00:34:35,040 --> 00:34:41,240
released are we blind to the fact that

758
00:34:39,040 --> 00:34:43,560
our children are raging against the

759
00:34:41,240 --> 00:34:47,480
indifference crying out against the

760
00:34:43,560 --> 00:34:50,440
abandonment of thundering against the

761
00:34:47,480 --> 00:34:52,280
neglect heal the kids is about doing

762
00:34:50,440 --> 00:34:54,079
something about making a difference in

763
00:34:52,280 --> 00:34:56,679
trying to help adults and parents

764
00:34:54,079 --> 00:34:59,200
realize that it is our power to change

765
00:34:56,679 --> 00:35:02,560
the world that our children live

766
00:34:59,200 --> 00:35:05,680
in he did so much for charity I mean

767
00:35:02,560 --> 00:35:08,200
this was a tireless Giver he was a total

768
00:35:05,680 --> 00:35:10,960
absolute Giver what they would try to do

769
00:35:08,200 --> 00:35:13,440
in the media would try they would try to

770
00:35:10,960 --> 00:35:16,079
say that you know his charity ran out of

771
00:35:13,440 --> 00:35:18,320
money and you'd hear stories like that

772
00:35:16,079 --> 00:35:20,520
it's not being run properly they haven't

773
00:35:18,320 --> 00:35:22,920
really gone into how much he has done

774
00:35:20,520 --> 00:35:24,760
regarding terminally ill children cancer

775
00:35:22,920 --> 00:35:27,200
stricken kids I mean this is someone

776
00:35:24,760 --> 00:35:29,480
who's done so much you don't see that

777
00:35:27,200 --> 00:35:31,280
side of him very often they don't say

778
00:35:29,480 --> 00:35:33,920
much about it in the media and I I think

779
00:35:31,280 --> 00:35:35,280
that's sad Michael gave so much I think

780
00:35:33,920 --> 00:35:36,720
he's the most generous Entertainer

781
00:35:35,280 --> 00:35:38,960
that's ever lived I think that's in the

782
00:35:36,720 --> 00:35:41,800
Guinness Book of Records he's second to

783
00:35:38,960 --> 00:35:44,560
Bill Gates as a person um for for all

784
00:35:41,800 --> 00:35:46,680
that he's given Michael it's now my

785
00:35:44,560 --> 00:35:48,800
great pleasure to present you with a

786
00:35:46,680 --> 00:35:50,920
check for $1

787
00:35:48,800 --> 00:35:52,960
million this represents the money

788
00:35:50,920 --> 00:35:55,599
pepsicola pledges to raise in Europe

789
00:35:52,960 --> 00:35:58,710
this summer with our best wishes for

790
00:35:55,599 --> 00:36:01,680
Heal the World

791
00:35:58,710 --> 00:36:04,319
[Music]

792
00:36:01,680 --> 00:36:07,280
in America the song Black or White was

793
00:36:04,319 --> 00:36:11,520
the most successful track from

794
00:36:07,280 --> 00:36:14,000
[Music]

795
00:36:11,520 --> 00:36:17,720
dangerous what people often forget with

796
00:36:14,000 --> 00:36:20,599
the black or white video is that it was

797
00:36:17,720 --> 00:36:22,880
Michael's most controversial video and

798
00:36:20,599 --> 00:36:22,880
it was

799
00:36:23,200 --> 00:36:28,520
censored about my baby it don't matter

800
00:36:26,440 --> 00:36:30,520
if you're black

801
00:36:28,520 --> 00:36:32,119
you have this main part of it that most

802
00:36:30,520 --> 00:36:34,920
people are familiar with you know where

803
00:36:32,119 --> 00:36:37,640
it's kind of a celebration of diversity

804
00:36:34,920 --> 00:36:39,359
and I told about equality and it's

805
00:36:37,640 --> 00:36:42,000
either

806
00:36:39,359 --> 00:36:45,040
or what happens after the end of the

807
00:36:42,000 --> 00:36:47,560
main music video is a black panther

808
00:36:45,040 --> 00:36:49,680
sneaks off of the stage and then

809
00:36:47,560 --> 00:36:52,760
Michael's conveying kind of the darker

810
00:36:49,680 --> 00:36:55,680
side of the song and of racism and

811
00:36:52,760 --> 00:36:58,680
Michael Jackson just unleashes this raw

812
00:36:55,680 --> 00:37:00,640
expression of indignation and you know

813
00:36:58,680 --> 00:37:02,520
conveys violence he's breaking in

814
00:37:00,640 --> 00:37:04,560
Windows you know there's this like

815
00:37:02,520 --> 00:37:06,400
sexuality to it but it's an aggressive

816
00:37:04,560 --> 00:37:08,839
sexuality and so people didn't know what

817
00:37:06,400 --> 00:37:08,839
to make of

818
00:37:11,839 --> 00:37:18,319
it when we first um saw dangerous and

819
00:37:15,880 --> 00:37:21,839
saw Michael's image completely change

820
00:37:18,319 --> 00:37:23,680
again and he had become even whiter I

821
00:37:21,839 --> 00:37:25,200
think everyone was very very concerned

822
00:37:23,680 --> 00:37:27,560
and everyone was starting to think he

823
00:37:25,200 --> 00:37:29,319
didn't like being black anymore then he

824
00:37:27,560 --> 00:37:31,520
comes out with the song from dangerous

825
00:37:29,319 --> 00:37:33,920
called Black or White and we suddenly

826
00:37:31,520 --> 00:37:35,480
went well for goodness sake you've gone

827
00:37:33,920 --> 00:37:37,440
whiter and then you've put out a song

828
00:37:35,480 --> 00:37:40,000
called Black or White what's going on

829
00:37:37,440 --> 00:37:42,040
here many people thought that Michael

830
00:37:40,000 --> 00:37:45,079
Jackson over a period of time had been

831
00:37:42,040 --> 00:37:47,400
bleaching his skin so this was a real

832
00:37:45,079 --> 00:37:49,319
statement for him because he was

833
00:37:47,400 --> 00:37:52,079
essentially responding to those

834
00:37:49,319 --> 00:37:54,839
criticisms through song and saying why

835
00:37:52,079 --> 00:37:57,680
does it matter if I'm black or white

836
00:37:54,839 --> 00:38:00,160
it's only later on obviously way down

837
00:37:57,680 --> 00:38:03,119
the road what 15 years later you find

838
00:38:00,160 --> 00:38:05,079
out that he had Vitiligo which is a

839
00:38:03,119 --> 00:38:07,200
serious skin condition uh where you

840
00:38:05,079 --> 00:38:11,359
completely lose pigment he definitely

841
00:38:07,200 --> 00:38:12,839
had Vitiligo um which you know the the

842
00:38:11,359 --> 00:38:15,560
interesting thing about that is that a

843
00:38:12,839 --> 00:38:17,480
lot of people didn't believe him and you

844
00:38:15,560 --> 00:38:20,200
know it took really until he died and

845
00:38:17,480 --> 00:38:22,400
the autopsy report actually indicated

846
00:38:20,200 --> 00:38:24,599
that he had Vitiligo stars were all

847
00:38:22,400 --> 00:38:25,920
about mystery then it's not like now

848
00:38:24,599 --> 00:38:28,079
where you know everything about an

849
00:38:25,920 --> 00:38:30,800
artist the artist was supposed to be an

850
00:38:28,079 --> 00:38:32,319
enigma and I don't feel that they

851
00:38:30,800 --> 00:38:34,000
thought it was the right thing to tell

852
00:38:32,319 --> 00:38:36,359
the public what was really going on with

853
00:38:34,000 --> 00:38:38,200
Michael imagine being somebody that

854
00:38:36,359 --> 00:38:40,800
grows up in front of the world and you

855
00:38:38,200 --> 00:38:43,480
have this pretty unusual skin condition

856
00:38:40,800 --> 00:38:46,319
and people are saying things like you

857
00:38:43,480 --> 00:38:47,599
are ashamed of your race you know and

858
00:38:46,319 --> 00:38:48,839
you don't want to be black you're trying

859
00:38:47,599 --> 00:38:51,200
to be

860
00:38:48,839 --> 00:38:53,720
white Michael's appearance had altered

861
00:38:51,200 --> 00:38:56,240
so much it was clear the changes weren't

862
00:38:53,720 --> 00:38:58,599
all to do with his skin

863
00:38:56,240 --> 00:39:00,000
condition if if you're going to

864
00:38:58,599 --> 00:39:02,720
understand why Michael Jackson would

865
00:39:00,000 --> 00:39:05,880
have plastic surgery you've got to

866
00:39:02,720 --> 00:39:08,240
understand that he was a human being and

867
00:39:05,880 --> 00:39:11,920
he was subject to the insecurities that

868
00:39:08,240 --> 00:39:15,240
we all have and when at an early age he

869
00:39:11,920 --> 00:39:17,640
was frequently criticized by his father

870
00:39:15,240 --> 00:39:20,480
it hurt him and having been told

871
00:39:17,640 --> 00:39:22,920
numerous times his nose was too big when

872
00:39:20,480 --> 00:39:25,720
he could afford to not have it so big he

873
00:39:22,920 --> 00:39:28,160
made it smaller all of those experiences

874
00:39:25,720 --> 00:39:31,800
when he was young contributed to this

875
00:39:28,160 --> 00:39:34,200
kind of desire to change his physical

876
00:39:31,800 --> 00:39:37,040
appearance and he was also an artist and

877
00:39:34,200 --> 00:39:39,800
he kind of began to treat his face as a

878
00:39:37,040 --> 00:39:41,760
work of art you know he had this kind of

879
00:39:39,800 --> 00:39:45,680
various ideals of perfection that he was

880
00:39:41,760 --> 00:39:47,760
trying to achieve um physically Michael

881
00:39:45,680 --> 00:39:49,960
Jackson's dramatic change in appearance

882
00:39:47,760 --> 00:39:52,040
prompted all sorts of media

883
00:39:49,960 --> 00:39:54,599
speculation there were rumors that he

884
00:39:52,040 --> 00:39:56,720
and his sister Latoya were the same

885
00:39:54,599 --> 00:39:59,720
person and that he was trying to make

886
00:39:56,720 --> 00:40:01,319
himself look like Diana Ross It's been

887
00:39:59,720 --> 00:40:03,040
said that Michael Jackson underwent

888
00:40:01,319 --> 00:40:05,520
plastic surgery to make himself look

889
00:40:03,040 --> 00:40:07,720
more like you I don't think so is that

890
00:40:05,520 --> 00:40:09,520
true no I well I don't think he has no

891
00:40:07,720 --> 00:40:11,319
one's ever told me he's never told me

892
00:40:09,520 --> 00:40:13,359
that I don't think so but is it

893
00:40:11,319 --> 00:40:15,280
unnerving for you to have a young man

894
00:40:13,359 --> 00:40:16,680
that's undergone plastic surgery to make

895
00:40:15,280 --> 00:40:18,280
himself look like you well I don't think

896
00:40:16,680 --> 00:40:20,400
he's trying to look like me I really

897
00:40:18,280 --> 00:40:23,040
don't I think he wants to look like what

898
00:40:20,400 --> 00:40:25,240
he perceives as makes him feel happy

899
00:40:23,040 --> 00:40:26,880
about himself you know I don't think

900
00:40:25,240 --> 00:40:28,920
he's trying to look like me I do think

901
00:40:26,880 --> 00:40:30,720
he's quite beautiful though by the way

902
00:40:28,920 --> 00:40:32,200
so many people really don't know him and

903
00:40:30,720 --> 00:40:34,280
they don't give him a chance and they're

904
00:40:32,200 --> 00:40:36,720
so ready to criticize and I think what

905
00:40:34,280 --> 00:40:39,040
happens is when you see genius and when

906
00:40:36,720 --> 00:40:40,599
you see a talent that is just

907
00:40:39,040 --> 00:40:42,640
Unstoppable and

908
00:40:40,599 --> 00:40:44,560
Untouchable the first reaction people

909
00:40:42,640 --> 00:40:46,119
have is to criticize it because it

910
00:40:44,560 --> 00:40:48,280
scares them it threatens them and it

911
00:40:46,119 --> 00:40:49,880
sort of it um in order to augment their

912
00:40:48,280 --> 00:40:52,640
own selfworth they feel that they have

913
00:40:49,880 --> 00:40:55,520
to belittle him back up you get all you

914
00:40:52,640 --> 00:40:58,160
want in the summer of 1993 Michael

915
00:40:55,520 --> 00:41:00,160
Jackson's life was turned upside down

916
00:40:58,160 --> 00:41:01,880
when he was accused of sexually abusing

917
00:41:00,160 --> 00:41:04,760
a 13-year-old

918
00:41:01,880 --> 00:41:07,760
boy the accusations of child abuse at

919
00:41:04,760 --> 00:41:10,599
his Neverland Ranch were immediately

920
00:41:07,760 --> 00:41:14,520
denied the case was settled out of court

921
00:41:10,599 --> 00:41:15,680
for a reputed $20 million and no formal

922
00:41:14,520 --> 00:41:19,000
charges were

923
00:41:15,680 --> 00:41:23,160
brought now if if this really went on do

924
00:41:19,000 --> 00:41:25,560
you think a father would accept money

925
00:41:23,160 --> 00:41:27,599
that that would make it okay that that

926
00:41:25,560 --> 00:41:29,160
would make everything all right it

927
00:41:27,599 --> 00:41:31,400
doesn't make any sense I know that if

928
00:41:29,160 --> 00:41:33,200
that were my son I'm sorry I don't care

929
00:41:31,400 --> 00:41:35,560
if you gave me a billion

930
00:41:33,200 --> 00:41:38,359
dollars I want to see you either behind

931
00:41:35,560 --> 00:41:41,440
bars are dead for doing that to my son

932
00:41:38,359 --> 00:41:42,960
or my daughter it it's crazy the guy was

933
00:41:41,440 --> 00:41:45,960
after money is what he

934
00:41:42,960 --> 00:41:49,400
wanted it was just after this in May

935
00:41:45,960 --> 00:41:51,640
1994 that he married Lisa Marie Presley

936
00:41:49,400 --> 00:41:54,960
whose father was one of the few men who

937
00:41:51,640 --> 00:41:57,480
could rival Michael's worldwide Fame the

938
00:41:54,960 --> 00:41:59,720
marriage to Lisa Marie prisley was

939
00:41:57,480 --> 00:42:02,760
completely fascinating I mean it

940
00:41:59,720 --> 00:42:07,079
dominated the Tabloid agenda both in the

941
00:42:02,760 --> 00:42:09,720
UK and in the US here was the biggest

942
00:42:07,079 --> 00:42:12,599
music star of the last decade

943
00:42:09,720 --> 00:42:15,839
undisputedly marrying the daughter of

944
00:42:12,599 --> 00:42:18,160
the biggest music star of all time Elvis

945
00:42:15,839 --> 00:42:20,040
Presley at the time he was in the midst

946
00:42:18,160 --> 00:42:22,119
of these allegations all of a sudden

947
00:42:20,040 --> 00:42:24,319
people were very very concerned about

948
00:42:22,119 --> 00:42:27,559
the way that he looked he was incredibly

949
00:42:24,319 --> 00:42:30,040
gaunt incredibly white looked IC Ally

950
00:42:27,559 --> 00:42:33,359
enhanced and not in a good way so why

951
00:42:30,040 --> 00:42:36,040
would this young beautiful upand

952
00:42:33,359 --> 00:42:38,240
cominging daughter of a famous celebrity

953
00:42:36,040 --> 00:42:39,480
decide to enter into this marriage

954
00:42:38,240 --> 00:42:41,119
someone who's Michael Jackson the

955
00:42:39,480 --> 00:42:42,319
biggest star in the world he can't

956
00:42:41,119 --> 00:42:44,400
really just walk down the road and go

957
00:42:42,319 --> 00:42:46,319
out with anyone can he you got to think

958
00:42:44,400 --> 00:42:48,440
about it his demographic would have to

959
00:42:46,319 --> 00:42:50,760
be someone like you know Lisa I think

960
00:42:48,440 --> 00:42:52,319
that's probably why in his mind it would

961
00:42:50,760 --> 00:42:55,000
have been okay cuz she would get his

962
00:42:52,319 --> 00:42:57,960
level of Fame and notoriety and

963
00:42:55,000 --> 00:43:01,440
everything else I mean it was completely

964
00:42:57,960 --> 00:43:04,280
fascinating and I think to this day no

965
00:43:01,440 --> 00:43:06,079
one really knows what the situation was

966
00:43:04,280 --> 00:43:08,839
between Michael Jackson and Lisa Marie

967
00:43:06,079 --> 00:43:11,319
Presley she hasn't spoken about it much

968
00:43:08,839 --> 00:43:13,640
and it was a very bizarre chapter in

969
00:43:11,319 --> 00:43:15,880
both of their lives despite media

970
00:43:13,640 --> 00:43:18,200
speculation about The credibility of the

971
00:43:15,880 --> 00:43:20,319
relationship Lisa Marie and Michael

972
00:43:18,200 --> 00:43:22,000
publicly denounced rumors and declared

973
00:43:20,319 --> 00:43:24,720
their love was

974
00:43:22,000 --> 00:43:29,040
genuine the marriage was short-lived and

975
00:43:24,720 --> 00:43:30,720
ended on amicable terms in 1996

976
00:43:29,040 --> 00:43:32,400
within a year of the separation

977
00:43:30,720 --> 00:43:35,079
Michael's association with his

978
00:43:32,400 --> 00:43:36,680
dermatologist's assistant Deborah row

979
00:43:35,079 --> 00:43:38,680
led to an announcement that she was

980
00:43:36,680 --> 00:43:42,559
pregnant with his first

981
00:43:38,680 --> 00:43:44,280
child Michael had wanted kids for a long

982
00:43:42,559 --> 00:43:45,599
time in fact he wanted kids with Lisa

983
00:43:44,280 --> 00:43:47,559
Marie Presley which is one of the

984
00:43:45,599 --> 00:43:50,599
reasons why they got a divorce and with

985
00:43:47,559 --> 00:43:55,119
with Debbie row she came to Michael and

986
00:43:50,599 --> 00:43:56,599
said that she would give him a child um

987
00:43:55,119 --> 00:43:59,079
and that she would essentially be a

988
00:43:56,599 --> 00:44:01,599
surrogate mother and and provide Michael

989
00:43:59,079 --> 00:44:04,640
what he always wanted which was uh to

990
00:44:01,599 --> 00:44:06,040
have children soon after this the couple

991
00:44:04,640 --> 00:44:08,880
were married in

992
00:44:06,040 --> 00:44:11,720
Australia Deborah gave birth to a son

993
00:44:08,880 --> 00:44:14,400
Prince Michael Jackson Jr followed by a

994
00:44:11,720 --> 00:44:16,760
daughter Paris Michael

995
00:44:14,400 --> 00:44:20,119
Catherine but the relationship was not

996
00:44:16,760 --> 00:44:22,280
to last by Autumn 1999 the couple

997

birth of another son Prince Michael II

1001

also known as blanket and to this day

first album since the child sex abuse

1012
00:45:02,319 --> 00:45:06,359
allegations managed to link the

1013
00:45:04,240 --> 00:45:08,440
incidents of Michael's recent past and

1014

1018
00:45:18,640 --> 00:45:22,839
those songs that can be interpreted in a

1019
00:45:20,880 --> 00:45:24,240
variety of ways I think a lot of people

1020
00:45:22,839 --> 00:45:27,359
when they heard it interpreted it as a

1021
00:45:24,240 --> 00:45:29,040
love song but it was also a song where

1022
00:45:27,359 --> 00:45:33,160
it conveyed a certain degree of

1023

spotlight I here to

1026
00:45:40,240 --> 00:45:46,240
stay it was a real Michael Jackson

1027
00:45:43,440 --> 00:45:48,720
ballad in the true sense of the word and

1028
00:45:46,240 --> 00:45:50,599
it did become a huge hit for him I guess

1029
00:45:48,720 --> 00:45:53,599
really Against All Odds because the

1030
00:45:50,599 --> 00:45:55,559
music video was incredibly strange I

1031
00:45:53,599 --> 00:45:59,079
mean it featured Michael Jackson almost

1032
00:45:55,559 --> 00:46:04,680
naked under the sheets with his wife

1033
00:45:59,079 --> 00:46:08,079
Lisa Marie Presley and it was a very odd

1034
00:46:04,680 --> 00:46:10,610
music video but the song has been one of

1035
00:46:08,079 --> 00:46:20,200
Michael's most enduring

[Music]

1037
00:46:20,200 --> 00:46:25,640
years Michael's Music was increasingly

1038
00:46:22,880 --> 00:46:27,680
dealing with the world issues he saw as

1039
00:46:25,640 --> 00:46:29,880
important you you start to see with the

1040
00:46:27,680 --> 00:46:31,920
Dangerous album with the history album A

1041
00:46:29,880 --> 00:46:33,960
lot of the songs you know it's no longer

1042
00:46:31,920 --> 00:46:37,599
about relationships or dancing you know

1043
00:46:33,960 --> 00:46:39,680
Michael's tackling big social themes was

1044
00:46:37,599 --> 00:46:42,599
very interesting actually because the

1045
00:46:39,680 --> 00:46:45,200
release of History did not go down well

1046
00:46:42,599 --> 00:46:47,319
it was a greatest hits package combined

1047
00:46:45,200 --> 00:46:50,079
with a new album and there are a whole

1048
00:46:47,319 --> 00:46:52,440
load of stunts which were really derided

1049
00:46:50,079 --> 00:46:56,160
for example Michael Jackson deciding to

1050
00:46:52,440 --> 00:46:58,920
send a massive statue of himself down

1051
00:46:56,160 --> 00:47:00,440
the river Tim in London despite him

1052
00:46:58,920 --> 00:47:03,040
being still caught up in all of these

1053
00:47:00,440 --> 00:47:06,400
allegations of child abuse but actually

1054
00:47:03,040 --> 00:47:09,040
I always felt like history was probably

1055
00:47:06,400 --> 00:47:11,720
his most underrated album ever I mean

1056
00:47:09,040 --> 00:47:13,520
some of the songs to come from history

1057
00:47:11,720 --> 00:47:17,079
are completely iconic They Don't Really

1058
00:47:13,520 --> 00:47:20,160
Care About Us Earth song Scream You Are

1059
00:47:17,079 --> 00:47:21,920
Not Alone it was a huge album but by

1060
00:47:20,160 --> 00:47:23,920
that point it almost didn't matter what

1061
00:47:21,920 --> 00:47:26,640
Michael Jackson released there were

1062
00:47:23,920 --> 00:47:27,480
enough questions about him as a person

1063
00:47:26,640 --> 00:47:32,520
that

1064
00:47:27,480 --> 00:47:34,559
actually his music was again

1065
00:47:32,520 --> 00:47:36,160
overshadowed all through his life the

1066
00:47:34,559 --> 00:47:38,240
more Michael tried to protect his

1067
00:47:36,160 --> 00:47:40,960
privacy the more fascinated the Press

1068
00:47:38,240 --> 00:47:45,760
became with him and the more absurd the

1069
00:47:40,960 --> 00:47:49,359
stories became 99.9% of what's written

1070
00:47:45,760 --> 00:47:51,319
about him is was false I read that his

1071
00:47:49,359 --> 00:47:53,400
nose went missing I think it was in The

1072
00:47:51,319 --> 00:47:56,079
Daily Mirror that's I me it's absolutely

1073
00:47:53,400 --> 00:47:58,200
crazy but I think what it is is that

1074
00:47:56,079 --> 00:47:59,599
perhaps there's an ounce of Truth in

1075
00:47:58,200 --> 00:48:01,440
what's written but it's totally

1076
00:47:59,599 --> 00:48:03,480
embellished you know what the media is

1077
00:48:01,440 --> 00:48:05,400
like it's called propaganda they take

1078
00:48:03,480 --> 00:48:07,359
anything and they blow it out we're

1079
00:48:05,400 --> 00:48:09,480
family you saw the way we grew up in the

1080
00:48:07,359 --> 00:48:10,960
two-bedroom house family is more

1081
00:48:09,480 --> 00:48:12,880
important than all the success in

1082
00:48:10,960 --> 00:48:14,839
anything and we're always going to hold

1083
00:48:12,880 --> 00:48:17,200
on to to that their whole thing is to

1084
00:48:14,839 --> 00:48:19,200
divide and conquer and to separate us

1085
00:48:17,200 --> 00:48:22,880
we're family we're family we have

1086
00:48:19,200 --> 00:48:26,760
children we hurt just like everyone else

1087
00:48:22,880 --> 00:48:29,520
he was very hurt by um the misreport

1088
00:48:26,760 --> 00:48:32,200
reportings in the Press but I think he

1089
00:48:29,520 --> 00:48:35,000
his defense mechanism was actually was

1090
00:48:32,200 --> 00:48:36,640
not to read them don't let it you know

1091
00:48:35,000 --> 00:48:38,240
they can say they're going to say

1092
00:48:36,640 --> 00:48:39,680
whatever they're going to say anyway so

1093
00:48:38,240 --> 00:48:41,440
just don't read don't get involved with

1094
00:48:39,680 --> 00:48:44,359
it cuz I said to him one day I said why

1095
00:48:41,440 --> 00:48:46,359
don't you just sue them and he said Mark

1096
00:48:44,359 --> 00:48:47,960
if I was to sue everyone that wrote

1097
00:48:46,359 --> 00:48:50,960
something about me that was untrue I'd

1098
00:48:47,960 --> 00:48:52,440
be in caught every single day so it just

1099
00:48:50,960 --> 00:48:55,040
wasn't worth it for him so he just

1100
00:48:52,440 --> 00:48:58,880
decided to let it

1101
00:48:55,040 --> 00:49:00,680
go in 200 W Invincible became the last

1102
00:48:58,880 --> 00:49:03,160
album of new material that Michael

1103
00:49:00,680 --> 00:49:05,280
Jackson released during his

1104
00:49:03,160 --> 00:49:07,720
lifetime though it received mixed

1105
00:49:05,280 --> 00:49:10,480
reviews and suffered from The Fallout of

1106
00:49:07,720 --> 00:49:12,799
a dispute with Sony it still managed to

1107
00:49:10,480 --> 00:49:14,599
make it to number one in 11 countries

1108
00:49:12,799 --> 00:49:17,520
including the

1109
00:49:14,599 --> 00:49:20,280
US But as time went on Michael's Life as

1110
00:49:17,520 --> 00:49:23,720
a musician was almost eclipsed by the

1111
00:49:20,280 --> 00:49:26,680
endless gossip surrounding his

1112
00:49:23,720 --> 00:49:29,599
lifestyle curiosity and controversy were

1113
00:49:26,680 --> 00:49:32,440
were his constant companions an incident

1114
00:49:29,599 --> 00:49:35,000
in 2002 which was circulated around the

1115
00:49:32,440 --> 00:49:37,960
world showed Michael holding his baby

1116
00:49:35,000 --> 00:49:39,920
out of a Berlin hotel window for his

1117
00:49:37,960 --> 00:49:43,680
chanting fans to

1118
00:49:39,920 --> 00:49:45,960
see it created uproar I was in the room

1119
00:49:43,680 --> 00:49:47,400
when it happened when I saw it on the

1120
00:49:45,960 --> 00:49:49,920
camera I thought oh God that looks

1121
00:49:47,400 --> 00:49:53,839
really awful but actually below the

1122
00:49:49,920 --> 00:49:58,720
window of the hotel is ledge that comes

1123
00:49:53,839 --> 00:50:01,119
out quite away and if Michael had held

1124
00:49:58,720 --> 00:50:03,480
the baby quite firmly anyway and it was

1125
00:50:01,119 --> 00:50:07,119
just a gesture of to say this is my new

1126
00:50:03,480 --> 00:50:09,079
child you and then it got he got

1127
00:50:07,119 --> 00:50:11,520
absolutely slammed for it but there that

1128
00:50:09,079 --> 00:50:13,640
baby was in no danger at all ever and in

1129
00:50:11,520 --> 00:50:15,799
fact when we didn't think anything of it

1130
00:50:13,640 --> 00:50:18,119
until after he' done it and the fans

1131
00:50:15,799 --> 00:50:20,480
were all clapping and cheering until

1132
00:50:18,119 --> 00:50:22,799
till the next day when um it came out in

1133
00:50:20,480 --> 00:50:24,799
the papers and we and then I saw the

1134
00:50:22,799 --> 00:50:28,920
news clip and I thought well yeah that

1135
00:50:24,799 --> 00:50:31,480
does look a bit um scary it was fool

1136
00:50:28,920 --> 00:50:35,400
Hardy therefore we must ask ourselves

1137
00:50:31,480 --> 00:50:37,599
why did he do it and the answer is that

1138
00:50:35,400 --> 00:50:40,599
the feelings he had which motivated him

1139
00:50:37,599 --> 00:50:43,160
to do it were greater than even his

1140
00:50:40,599 --> 00:50:49,240
concern for the child and that

1141
00:50:43,160 --> 00:50:51,599
is I want to present to you my new Cub

1142
00:50:49,240 --> 00:50:54,160
as in The Lion King at the beginning the

1143
00:50:51,599 --> 00:50:56,400
circle of life when the new Cub is held

1144
00:50:54,160 --> 00:50:58,839
up of course in this case it happened to

1145
00:50:56,400 --> 00:51:01,240
be over the balcony which was really

1146
00:50:58,839 --> 00:51:02,680
dumb but he didn't think about that he

1147
00:51:01,240 --> 00:51:04,400
didn't I'm sure he didn't look down and

1148
00:51:02,680 --> 00:51:06,680
think oh is there a balcony there or not

1149
00:51:04,400 --> 00:51:08,799
he was just holding the kid up the

1150
00:51:06,680 --> 00:51:10,640
incident naturally led to all sorts of

1151
00:51:08,799 --> 00:51:12,880
speculation in the Press about Michael's

1152
00:51:10,640 --> 00:51:17,640
abilities as a

1153
00:51:12,880 --> 00:51:19,920
father much worse was to come in 2003 he

1154
00:51:17,640 --> 00:51:22,520
was accused of sexually abusing another

1155
00:51:19,920 --> 00:51:25,400
boy and this time he was charged and

1156
00:51:22,520 --> 00:51:27,520
taken to court as Michael professed his

1157
00:51:25,400 --> 00:51:30,520
innocence on the surface he appeared to

1158
00:51:27,520 --> 00:51:32,520
be handling the situation well but the

1159
00:51:30,520 --> 00:51:34,680

00:51:32,520 --> 00:51:37,640

this community from the bottom of my

1176
00:52:07,480 --> 00:52:12,359
heart that's why I moved here thank you

1177
00:52:09,839 --> 00:52:16,480
very much when I first met Michael he

1178
00:52:12,359 --> 00:52:20,599
had control in his life and I think the

1179
00:52:16,480 --> 00:52:23,880
control started slipping away 2003

1180
00:52:20,599 --> 00:52:26,319
onwards when he sank deeper into despair

1181
00:52:23,880 --> 00:52:28,280
over the false accusations in the last

1182
00:52:26,319 --> 00:52:30,079
few few weeks a large amount of ugly

1183
00:52:28,280 --> 00:52:32,359
malicious information has been released

1184
00:52:30,079 --> 00:52:35,359
into the media about me the information

1185
00:52:32,359 --> 00:52:37,960
is disgusting and false it took a lot

1186
00:52:35,359 --> 00:52:41,160
out of him that I mean he didn't eat

1187
00:52:37,960 --> 00:52:42,640
very well sleeping very badly and uh

1188
00:52:41,160 --> 00:52:45,520
that probably took 10 years off him I

1189
00:52:42,640 --> 00:52:47,680
should think please keep an open mind

1190
00:52:45,520 --> 00:52:49,920
and let me have my day in court I

1191
00:52:47,680 --> 00:52:53,040
deserve a fair trial like every other

1192
00:52:49,920 --> 00:52:55,990
American citizen I will be acquitted and

1193
00:52:53,040 --> 00:52:57,200
Vindicated when the truth is told

1194
00:52:55,990 --> 00:52:59,400
[Music]

1195
00:52:57,200 --> 00:53:01,640
when the trial began hordes of Michael

1196
00:52:59,400 --> 00:53:02,319
supporters held vigil for him outside

1197
00:53:01,640 --> 00:53:05,079
the

1198
00:53:02,319 --> 00:53:06,960
courthouse when Michael arrived at court

1199
00:53:05,079 --> 00:53:09,079
he jumped on the top of his car and

1200
00:53:06,960 --> 00:53:11,280
started

1201
00:53:09,079 --> 00:53:13,799
dancing and the pressure was enormous

1202
00:53:11,280 --> 00:53:16,799
for him I mean of course we knew that he

1203
00:53:13,799 --> 00:53:18,319
was innocent of all charges but you know

1204
00:53:16,799 --> 00:53:21,599
a lot of innocent men have been found

1205
00:53:18,319 --> 00:53:24,240
guilty and evidence can fall one way or

1206
00:53:21,599 --> 00:53:27,160
the other so the stress of 3 months of

1207
00:53:24,240 --> 00:53:30,839
going to caught every single day

1208
00:53:27,160 --> 00:53:33,119
he looked thin he looked anemic almost I

1209
00:53:30,839 --> 00:53:36,599
mean he it was

1210
00:53:33,119 --> 00:53:40,240
just I think that really

1211
00:53:36,599 --> 00:53:42,960
was probably the worst thing in in his

1212
00:53:40,240 --> 00:53:45,799
life as far as his health goes and and

1213
00:53:42,960 --> 00:53:47,440
his mental state the child sex abuse

1214
00:53:45,799 --> 00:53:50,160
trial was something that Michael Jackson

1215
00:53:47,440 --> 00:53:53,720
had always wanted to avoid this was his

1216
00:53:50,160 --> 00:53:55,839
worst nightmare he was pretty clear to

1217
00:53:53,720 --> 00:53:58,400
those around him that he thought a trial

1218
00:53:55,839 --> 00:54:02,440
of this kind would kill him and the

1219
00:53:58,400 --> 00:54:04,599
effect on his health was really

1220
00:54:02,440 --> 00:54:06,359
significant I think we all remember

1221
00:54:04,599 --> 00:54:09,559
those pictures of Michael Jackson

1222
00:54:06,359 --> 00:54:13,839
turning up in court in his pajamas or

1223
00:54:09,559 --> 00:54:15,799
just not turning up at all he was in uh

1224
00:54:13,839 --> 00:54:18,559
terrible discomfort during the entire

1225
00:54:15,799 --> 00:54:20,880
trial proceedings he's going to go home

1226
00:54:18,559 --> 00:54:22,520
recuperate rest and relax and he'll be

1227
00:54:20,880 --> 00:54:24,119
back on Monday and he's looking forward

1228
00:54:22,520 --> 00:54:25,480
to being here he went to the emergency

1229
00:54:24,119 --> 00:54:28,400
and he went to the emergency room this

1230
00:54:25,480 --> 00:54:30,160
morning and he was given medications so

1231
00:54:28,400 --> 00:54:33,520
he'll be back on Monday and we all thank

1232
00:54:30,160 --> 00:54:36,440
you so very much you take care there was

1233
00:54:33,520 --> 00:54:38,680
very limited sympathy for him I mean the

1234
00:54:36,440 --> 00:54:40,760
Tabloid headlines the day he did turn up

1235
00:54:38,680 --> 00:54:43,760
to court in his pajamas was banana in

1236
00:54:40,760 --> 00:54:45,960
pajamas I think the world felt for the

1237
00:54:43,760 --> 00:54:49,240
first time at least the world of the

1238
00:54:45,960 --> 00:54:51,280
media that actually maybe these years

1239
00:54:49,240 --> 00:54:53,359
and years and years of of managing to

1240
00:54:51,280 --> 00:54:56,440
get around the law however he had done

1241
00:54:53,359 --> 00:54:57,839
that had finally caught up with Michael

1242
00:54:56,440 --> 00:55:00,079
like to let the world know that I'm

1243
00:54:57,839 --> 00:55:01,760
behind my son I don't believe any of

1244
00:55:00,079 --> 00:55:04,240
this stuff that's being written about

1245
00:55:01,760 --> 00:55:05,680
him cuz I raised him and I know him and

1246
00:55:04,240 --> 00:55:08,000
that's just a statement people are

1247
00:55:05,680 --> 00:55:11,839
making we support our brother

1248
00:55:08,000 --> 00:55:13,799
wholeheartedly and um um we stand by by

1249
00:55:11,839 --> 00:55:15,720
his side and there is we're in the

1250
00:55:13,799 --> 00:55:19,160
process of planning a trip with the

1251
00:55:15,720 --> 00:55:23,440
whole family to to visit

1252
00:55:19,160 --> 00:55:26,319
him on June the 13th 2005 Michael

1253
00:55:23,440 --> 00:55:28,119
Jackson was found not guilty and

1254
00:55:26,319 --> 00:55:30,520
completely cleared of all

1255
00:55:28,119 --> 00:55:32,400
charges there was no African-American on

1256
00:55:30,520 --> 00:55:34,559
the jury there was so many search

1257
00:55:32,400 --> 00:55:36,359
warrant so many months of Investigation

1258
00:55:34,559 --> 00:55:38,319
so many million dollars and they didn't

1259
00:55:36,359 --> 00:55:40,000
even get an alcohol charge they put it

1260
00:55:38,319 --> 00:55:43,079
in to get something they didn't even get

1261
00:55:40,000 --> 00:55:45,599
that it didn't go to show how guilty he

1262
00:55:43,079 --> 00:55:46,960
was it went to show how innocent he is

1263
00:55:45,599 --> 00:55:50,599
how clean he is they went through his

1264
00:55:46,960 --> 00:55:51,920
house with a fine comb and um the lady

1265
00:55:50,599 --> 00:55:55,240
that brought the charges later went

1266
00:55:51,920 --> 00:55:58,640
ended up in jail for fraud so you know I

1267
00:55:55,240 --> 00:56:00,799
mean Michael was a victim it's thought

1268
00:55:58,640 --> 00:56:02,559
that the anxiety caused by the trial had

1269
00:56:00,799 --> 00:56:04,160
a serious detrimental effect on

1270
00:56:02,559 --> 00:56:07,200
Michael's

1271
00:56:04,160 --> 00:56:09,039
health and this stress along with the

1272
00:56:07,200 --> 00:56:11,640
constant pain he felt with his back and

1273
00:56:09,039 --> 00:56:13,599
other ailments led to a dependency on

1274
00:56:11,640 --> 00:56:17,079
prescription

1275
00:56:13,599 --> 00:56:19,920
drugs the man was in pain and there was

1276
00:56:17,079 --> 00:56:22,599
no question about it he needed to have

1277
00:56:19,920 --> 00:56:26,000
certain medications but the problem

1278
00:56:22,599 --> 00:56:28,680
becomes the overuse of medications and

1279
00:56:26,000 --> 00:56:32,119
that something which people I think all

1280
00:56:28,680 --> 00:56:34,520
people find very difficult to control he

1281
00:56:32,119 --> 00:56:36,640
simply wasn't able to control it over

1282
00:56:34,520 --> 00:56:39,960
the years Michael's friends claim they

1283
00:56:36,640 --> 00:56:43,799
did their best to help him overcome his

1284
00:56:39,960 --> 00:56:45,440
dependency I warned him many times I

1285
00:56:43,799 --> 00:56:48,520
shouted at

1286
00:56:45,440 --> 00:56:52,240
him on several occasions and I actually

1287
00:56:48,520 --> 00:56:56,559
told him verbally Michael this will kill

1288
00:56:52,240 --> 00:56:59,680
you Michael you will die and when I went

1289
00:56:56,559 --> 00:57:01,200
into his bathroom I saw lots and lots of

1290
00:56:59,680 --> 00:57:05,520
pill

1291
00:57:01,200 --> 00:57:07,960
boxes um of various different medication

1292
00:57:05,520 --> 00:57:12,280
um in there there was demoral there was

1293
00:57:07,960 --> 00:57:14,480
paxel zolof demoral is a painkiller and

1294
00:57:12,280 --> 00:57:16,240
paxel and zoff they're

1295
00:57:14,480 --> 00:57:18,359
anti-depressants when I saw these things

1296
00:57:16,240 --> 00:57:20,599
in the bathroom I wasn't thinking oh you

1297
00:57:18,359 --> 00:57:22,960
know he's he's a drug addict or anything

1298
00:57:20,599 --> 00:57:25,200
like that I was thinking maybe he's sick

1299
00:57:22,960 --> 00:57:27,240
and I wanted to know but and I kept on

1300
00:57:25,200 --> 00:57:29,240
asking him what what's happening and he

1301
00:57:27,240 --> 00:57:31,920
was like and no everything's routine you

1302
00:57:29,240 --> 00:57:31,920
know it's all

1303
00:57:32,559 --> 00:57:37,400
okay in the Years following the sexual

1304
00:57:35,200 --> 00:57:40,359
abuse trial despite being cleared of the

1305
00:57:37,400 --> 00:57:41,760
charges Michael in many ways appeared a

1306
00:57:40,359 --> 00:57:44,319
Broken

1307
00:57:41,760 --> 00:57:45,880
Man there were then numerous reports

1308
00:57:44,319 --> 00:57:48,400
that Michael Jackson was having

1309
00:57:45,880 --> 00:57:50,559
financial problems and he was no longer

1310
00:57:48,400 --> 00:57:51,880
enjoying the same level of success with

1311
00:57:50,559 --> 00:57:54,599
his

1312
00:57:51,880 --> 00:57:57,200
music the world wasn't prepared to see

1313
00:57:54,599 --> 00:57:59,000
beyond Michael's eccentricity

1314
00:57:57,200 --> 00:58:01,359
and the scandals that had overshadowed

1315
00:57:59,000 --> 00:58:03,799
his life Michael Jackson is an

1316
00:58:01,359 --> 00:58:05,760
incredible artist you know and artists

1317
00:58:03,799 --> 00:58:08,319
aren't always normal you know in fact

1318
00:58:05,760 --> 00:58:10,480
some of the greatest artists are are

1319
00:58:08,319 --> 00:58:12,960
very eccentric very unique very

1320
00:58:10,480 --> 00:58:15,359
different and Michael was a great artist

1321
00:58:12,960 --> 00:58:18,799
he uh lived his life in a different way

1322
00:58:15,359 --> 00:58:20,720
in an unusual way but when we go back to

1323
00:58:18,799 --> 00:58:23,039
those songs when we go back to those

1324
00:58:20,720 --> 00:58:26,799
videos when we go back to those albums

1325
00:58:23,039 --> 00:58:31,760
we find uh just an incred incredibly

1326
00:58:26,799 --> 00:58:34,680
Rich diverse array of art that deserves

1327
00:58:31,760 --> 00:58:38,400
attention Michael's enduring appeal was

1328
00:58:34,680 --> 00:58:40,680
proved in March 2009 when he announced a

1329
00:58:38,400 --> 00:58:41,920
number of comeback concerts at the O2

1330
00:58:40,680 --> 00:58:44,440
Arena in

1331
00:58:41,920 --> 00:58:47,720
London London

1332
00:58:44,440 --> 00:58:50,720
welcomes the king of popop Mr Michael

1333
00:58:47,720 --> 00:58:50,720
Jackson

1334
00:59:01,000 --> 00:59:05,520
these will

1335
00:59:02,760 --> 00:59:08,599
be my final

1336
00:59:05,520 --> 00:59:13,520
show performances in

1337
00:59:08,599 --> 00:59:13,520
London this is it and see you in

1338
00:59:15,520 --> 00:59:20,280
July Michael Jackson's announcement of

1339
00:59:18,240 --> 00:59:22,599
10 concerts here is certainly a coup for

1340
00:59:20,280 --> 00:59:24,760
the O2 Arena and if those concerts go

1341
00:59:22,599 --> 00:59:27,039
well the expectation is that he'll add

1342
00:59:24,760 --> 00:59:28,720
many more dates the questions still

1343
00:59:27,039 --> 00:59:31,559
remain about whether the Michael Jackson

1344
00:59:28,720 --> 00:59:33,920
of today can still cut it live on such a

1345
00:59:31,559 --> 00:59:35,799
big stage it's a staggering show that's

1346
00:59:33,920 --> 00:59:38,720
what Michael Jackson does and so

1347
00:59:35,799 --> 00:59:41,559
therefore you're talking about absolute

1348
00:59:38,720 --> 00:59:44,720
the the top of of energy and he has to

1349
00:59:41,559 --> 00:59:45,680
be you know almost plugged into glucose

1350
00:59:44,720 --> 00:59:47,960
cuz that's the only way he's going to

1351
00:59:45,680 --> 00:59:50,240
get through it well money was a huge

1352
00:59:47,960 --> 00:59:52,839
factor for Michael Jackson over his

1353
00:59:50,240 --> 00:59:56,520
final years he was broke he had lived

1354
00:59:52,839 --> 00:59:58,799
well beyond his means so the idea behind

1355
00:59:56,520 --> 01:00:01,039
these farewell concerts that he was very

1356
00:59:58,799 --> 01:00:02,480
passionate about was not only that he

1357
01:00:01,039 --> 01:00:04,520
could go out in the way that he wanted

1358
01:00:02,480 --> 01:00:06,200
to on stage but also that he'd make the

1359
01:00:04,520 --> 01:00:09,200
millions and millions of dollars which

1360
01:00:06,200 --> 01:00:10,920
he desperately needed thousands of fans

1361
01:00:09,200 --> 01:00:14,240
from all over the world converged on the

1362
01:00:10,920 --> 01:00:16,599
O2 Arena to buy tickets proving that the

1363
01:00:14,240 --> 01:00:19,440
mega star's appeal was as strong as it

1364
01:00:16,599 --> 01:00:21,839
had ever been we came from the west of

1365
01:00:19,440 --> 01:00:24,599
Ireland yesterday or on Wednesday

1366
01:00:21,839 --> 01:00:26,160
morning and we've been queuing since it

1367
01:00:24,599 --> 01:00:27,319
was so hard to get the tickets I just

1368
01:00:26,160 --> 01:00:28,359
for I just took the risk and just come

1369
01:00:27,319 --> 01:00:29,880
down here spend the night and I just

1370
01:00:28,359 --> 01:00:31,599
don't care when you're looking forward

1371
01:00:29,880 --> 01:00:33,760
to something you don't really suffer

1372
01:00:31,599 --> 01:00:35,400
that we had rain our tent got flooded

1373
01:00:33,760 --> 01:00:37,319
but just cuz we knew that we were going

1374
01:00:35,400 --> 01:00:39,319
to see Michael none of that stuff

1375
01:00:37,319 --> 01:00:42,440
matters cuz we're here for Michael we'll

1376
01:00:39,319 --> 01:00:45,599
do anything let me State this the man

1377
01:00:42,440 --> 01:00:49,599
came back sold out a bigger tour than

1378
01:00:45,599 --> 01:00:51,480
he's ever done in his Heyday it sold out

1379
01:00:49,599 --> 01:00:53,319
50 dates I think something like a

1380
01:00:51,480 --> 01:00:56,319
million tickets in 4

1381
01:00:53,319 --> 01:00:58,240
hours so he was very loved and he was

1382
01:00:56,319 --> 01:00:59,520
very supported I don't think he has to

1383
01:00:58,240 --> 01:01:01,480
prove anything to pull it off I mean

1384
01:00:59,520 --> 01:01:03,039
he's a legend he is I mean Michael

1385
01:01:01,480 --> 01:01:05,720
Jackson's going to turn up and do his

1386
01:01:03,039 --> 01:01:07,319
shows and um everybody will see that you

1387
01:01:05,720 --> 01:01:09,640
know the next

1388
01:01:07,319 --> 01:01:11,520
chapter there were conflicting reports

1389
01:01:09,640 --> 01:01:13,400
on the state of Michael Jackson's Health

1390
01:01:11,520 --> 01:01:16,079
in the lead up to the

1391
01:01:13,400 --> 01:01:20,079
concerts the last time I saw Michael was

1392
01:01:16,079 --> 01:01:23,839
at the conference um at the O2 you know

1393
01:01:20,079 --> 01:01:27,359
they say he looked high they say he

1394
01:01:23,839 --> 01:01:31,400
looked sedated

1395
01:01:27,359 --> 01:01:35,240
I would say he looked that he

1396
01:01:31,400 --> 01:01:37,240
was focused the last time I saw Michael

1397
01:01:35,240 --> 01:01:40,920
was in March

1398
01:01:37,240 --> 01:01:43,520
2009 and to me he did look underway he

1399
01:01:40,920 --> 01:01:47,440
did he looked a lot thinner than I'd

1400
01:01:43,520 --> 01:01:50,200
ever seen him before and I don't think

1401
01:01:47,440 --> 01:01:54,680
he looked particularly healthy he just

1402
01:01:50,200 --> 01:01:57,039
seemed frail to me Michael Jackson

1403
01:01:54,680 --> 01:02:00,599
weighed the correct for his height he

1404
01:01:57,039 --> 01:02:02,359
had the best dietician that you can get

1405
01:02:00,599 --> 01:02:04,039
the initial announcement was of 10

1406
01:02:02,359 --> 01:02:06,680
concerts which were going to be held at

1407
01:02:04,039 --> 01:02:11,319
the O2 Arena a massive venue in East

1408
01:02:06,680 --> 01:02:13,599
London and after they sold out they just

1409
01:02:11,319 --> 01:02:16,680
kept adding dates I don't think it was

1410
01:02:13,599 --> 01:02:20,279
reasonable to expect somebody of 50 to

1411
01:02:16,680 --> 01:02:22,760
do 50 concerts in 6 months I just think

1412
01:02:20,279 --> 01:02:25,359
that that's too hard he just didn't have

1413
01:02:22,760 --> 01:02:28,640
enough time to prepare for it you know

1414
01:02:25,359 --> 01:02:31,279
and so much was writing on that and it

1415
01:02:28,640 --> 01:02:33,279
put an enormous strain on him enormous

1416
01:02:31,279 --> 01:02:37,319
strain and I just don't think it was

1417
01:02:33,279 --> 01:02:39,279
very fair on him and I think in some

1418
01:02:37,319 --> 01:02:42,319
respects it was quite

1419
01:02:39,279 --> 01:02:44,359
irresponsible very irresponsible after

1420
01:02:42,319 --> 01:02:46,599
Michael announced the concerts he stayed

1421
01:02:44,359 --> 01:02:48,720
in London and my family came up and we

1422
01:02:46,599 --> 01:02:50,599
spent the weekend with with Michael

1423
01:02:48,720 --> 01:02:52,760
before he flew back to the states he was

1424
01:02:50,599 --> 01:02:55,839
in a really good positive mood I mean he

1425
01:02:52,760 --> 01:02:58,799
was in such a positive frame of mind

1426
01:02:55,839 --> 01:03:00,640
best I've seen him for for a long time

1427
01:02:58,799 --> 01:03:03,799
he told me his children had never seen

1428
01:03:00,640 --> 01:03:06,480
him perform they'd seen obviously video

1429
01:03:03,799 --> 01:03:08,640
and DVD footage of him on stage but

1430
01:03:06,480 --> 01:03:11,039
they'd have never actually seen him live

1431
01:03:08,640 --> 01:03:13,480
so this was something he Not only was

1432
01:03:11,039 --> 01:03:15,760
doing for his fans but mainly for his

1433
01:03:13,480 --> 01:03:18,760
children I pulled him aside and said

1434
01:03:15,760 --> 01:03:20,680
Mikey why now okay and he said to me he

1435
01:03:18,760 --> 01:03:23,079
said cuz you know what my kids are old

1436
01:03:20,680 --> 01:03:24,960
enough and I'm still young enough to do

1437
01:03:23,079 --> 01:03:28,960
what I do and don't wanted them to see

1438
01:03:24,960 --> 01:03:32,799
me you know in my Prime when I when

1439
01:03:28,960 --> 01:03:35,000
I but the children never would see him

1440
01:03:32,799 --> 01:03:37,279
perform the world would never see the

1441
01:03:35,000 --> 01:03:40,000
comeback Michael Jackson had

1442
01:03:37,279 --> 01:03:42,839

1483
01:05:14,240 --> 01:05:16,559

1484
01:05:15,319 --> 01:05:17,799
on our way I'm going to do as much I can

1485
01:05:16,559 --> 01:05:20,760
to help you over the phone we're already

1486
01:05:17,799 --> 01:05:22,760
on our way did anybody see him yes we

1487
01:05:20,760 --> 01:05:25,240
have a personal doctor here with him sir

1488
01:05:22,760 --> 01:05:27,000
oh you have a doctor there Dr Murray

1489
01:05:25,240 --> 01:05:29,760
said that he would take full

1490
01:05:27,000 --> 01:05:32,079
responsibility for the patient what that

1491
01:05:29,760 --> 01:05:34,200
does for us is that now the doctor

1492
01:05:32,079 --> 01:05:36,880
becomes the highest level of a medical

1493
01:05:34,200 --> 01:05:39,240
Authority if he would have denied we

1494
01:05:36,880 --> 01:05:41,319
would have asked him to step aside and

1495
01:05:39,240 --> 01:05:44,240
the paramedics would have been the

1496
01:05:41,319 --> 01:05:46,799
highest medical authority to give care

1497
01:05:44,240 --> 01:05:49,000
to Michael Jackson he's not responding

1498
01:05:46,799 --> 01:05:51,880
to anything to no no he's not responding

1499
01:05:49,000 --> 01:05:53,920
to CPR or anything oh okay well we're on

1500
01:05:51,880 --> 01:05:55,279
our way there if your guys's doing CPR

1501
01:05:53,920 --> 01:05:57,799
you're instructed by a doctor he has a

1502
01:05:55,279 --> 01:06:01,440
high Authority than me and he's there on

1503
01:05:57,799 --> 01:06:04,359
scene um did anybody witness what

1504
01:06:01,440 --> 01:06:06,200

1505
01:06:04,359 --> 01:06:08,319

1506
01:06:06,200 --> 01:06:10,720

1510
01:06:15,839 --> 01:06:21,640

1531
01:07:04,359 --> 01:07:09,680
the singer Michael Jackson is reported

1532
01:07:06,559 --> 01:07:12,200
to have died about 3 hours ago he was

1533
01:07:09,680 --> 01:07:14,680
not breathing when paramedics arrived

1534
01:07:12,200 --> 01:07:17,760
they performed heart massage and then

1535
01:07:14,680 --> 01:07:20,599
they took him to the UCLA Medical Center

1536
01:07:17,760 --> 01:07:23,799
in the city where he said to have gone

1537
01:07:20,599 --> 01:07:26,400
into a deep coma he was pronounced dead

1538
01:07:23,799 --> 01:07:28,720
a short time ago the singer had been due

1539
01:07:26,400 --> 01:07:31,160
in London for a series of concerts

1540
01:07:28,720 --> 01:07:31,160
during the

1541
01:07:33,359 --> 01:07:39,839
summer I am somewhat numb I shocked at

1542
01:07:37,440 --> 01:07:43,119
the passing of Michael Jackson you know

1543
01:07:39,839 --> 01:07:46,200
it's uh like a dream a bad

1544
01:07:43,119 --> 01:07:48,720
dream he was so much like a son to

1545
01:07:46,200 --> 01:07:50,920
me it's just hard to realize that

1546
01:07:48,720 --> 01:07:53,400
Michael Jackson is not

1547
01:07:50,920 --> 01:07:55,160
here unless you are a fan of Michael

1548
01:07:53,400 --> 01:07:58,039
Jackson in the way that so many millions

1549
01:07:55,160 --> 01:08:00,880
of people are and the way that I am you

1550
01:07:58,039 --> 01:08:03,119
you can't begin to understand the loss

1551
01:08:00,880 --> 01:08:04,440
that we're feeling I don't know I can't

1552
01:08:03,119 --> 01:08:08,720
stop

1553
01:08:04,440 --> 01:08:08,720
crying he meant so much to

1554
01:08:09,079 --> 01:08:13,920
me it's hard to deal with it and it's

1555
01:08:11,480 --> 01:08:16,279
still hard to believe I think you saw

1556
01:08:13,920 --> 01:08:17,679
when when Michael Jackson died uh

1557
01:08:16,279 --> 01:08:19,080
something that maybe certain people

1558
01:08:17,679 --> 01:08:20,640
didn't expect which is that there was

1559
01:08:19,080 --> 01:08:23,159
this huge

1560
01:08:20,640 --> 01:08:25,880
outpouring across the world there was

1561
01:08:23,159 --> 01:08:28,040
just the generations of Michael Jackson

1562
01:08:25,880 --> 01:08:29,880
that were celebrating his life because

1563
01:08:28,040 --> 01:08:32,159
his work resonated for them and it

1564
01:08:29,880 --> 01:08:34,920
resonated across cultures it resonated

1565
01:08:32,159 --> 01:08:38,159
across age groups across

1566
01:08:34,920 --> 01:08:42,159
Generations Michael's work was able to

1567
01:08:38,159 --> 01:08:45,080
cross divisions uh and and Reach people

1568
01:08:42,159 --> 01:08:47,239
after a small private funeral Jackson's

1569
01:08:45,080 --> 01:08:49,560
death triggered a global outpouring of

1570
01:08:47,239 --> 01:08:52,640
grief and it was reported that as many

1571
01:08:49,560 --> 01:08:55,440
as 1 billion people around the world

1572
01:08:52,640 --> 01:08:58,520
watched his public memorial service the

1573
01:08:55,440 --> 01:09:01,960
star studied emotional ceremony took

1574
01:08:58,520 --> 01:09:04,480
place at the Los Angeles Staples Center

1575
01:09:01,960 --> 01:09:07,880
it saddens me that there are so many

1576
01:09:04,480 --> 01:09:11,679
people in Los Angeles who when he died

1577
01:09:07,880 --> 01:09:15,080
claimed to be his friend and yet where

1578
01:09:11,679 --> 01:09:17,080
were they why didn't they help him I

1579
01:09:15,080 --> 01:09:18,839
think we drove him to a lot of things

1580
01:09:17,080 --> 01:09:20,920
the world could have done more to

1581
01:09:18,839 --> 01:09:22,759
appreciate him to let him know enjoy

1582
01:09:20,920 --> 01:09:25,480
yourself we love you you're good you're

1583
01:09:22,759 --> 01:09:27,199
very good it's sad that we wanted so so

1584
01:09:25,480 --> 01:09:29,560
much from the man that we kept saying

1585
01:09:27,199 --> 01:09:33,600
more and more more rather than saying

1586
01:09:29,560 --> 01:09:36,440
hey no more from you rest up enjoy your

1587
01:09:33,600 --> 01:09:38,319
life Michael had been rehearsing in LA

1588
01:09:36,440 --> 01:09:41,440
right up to the night before he

1589
01:09:38,319 --> 01:09:44,040
died getting set for his upcoming London

1590
01:09:41,440 --> 01:09:46,400
shows so there were serious questions

1591
01:09:44,040 --> 01:09:50,080
about what had caused him a man who

1592
01:09:46,400 --> 01:09:53,319
appeared so fit to die so unexpectedly

1593
01:09:50,080 --> 01:09:55,400
at the age of just 50 just the night

1594
01:09:53,319 --> 01:09:57,719
before he died Jackson was here at the

1595
01:09:55,400 --> 01:09:59,800
Staple Center in La rehearsing for his

1596
01:09:57,719 --> 01:10:01,600
upcoming London shows and by all

1597
01:09:59,800 --> 01:10:03,760
accounts it was a pretty energetic

1598
01:10:01,600 --> 01:10:06,800
performance running through 10 or 11

1599
01:10:03,760 --> 01:10:08,840
songs and dances after which Jackson's

1600
01:10:06,800 --> 01:10:11,600
manager says the singer came up and put

1601
01:10:08,840 --> 01:10:15,920
his arm around him and told him I am so

1602
01:10:11,600 --> 01:10:18,440
happy this is really our

1603
01:10:15,920 --> 01:10:20,920
time at these rather less glamorous

1604
01:10:18,440 --> 01:10:23,199
Studios Jackson had a tough schedule for

1605
01:10:20,920 --> 01:10:25,440
the last few months people here who

1606
01:10:23,199 --> 01:10:28,679
watched him rehearse said he was thin

1607
01:10:25,440 --> 01:10:30,800
and frail but he seemed fit he was you

1608
01:10:28,679 --> 01:10:33,520
know up to par he was at his best and he

1609
01:10:30,800 --> 01:10:35,600
was ready to um to come back and just

1610
01:10:33,520 --> 01:10:38,400
wow us all

1611
01:10:35,600 --> 01:10:40,640
away a documentary featuring Michael

1612
01:10:38,400 --> 01:10:43,480
preparing for the This Is It Tour The

1613
01:10:40,640 --> 01:10:46,400
Comeback that was never to be shows an

1614
01:10:43,480 --> 01:10:50,560
energetic performer he wanted to come

1615
01:10:46,400 --> 01:10:52,760
back badly in a great way he was a

1616
01:10:50,560 --> 01:10:55,960
perfectionist so he wanted these

1617
01:10:52,760 --> 01:11:00,040
concerts to be close to perfection

1618
01:10:55,960 --> 01:11:02,760
and that creates stress that creates

1619
01:11:00,040 --> 01:11:05,040
anxiety he reportedly had once said to

1620
01:11:02,760 --> 01:11:07,040
Lisa Marie Presley I have this terrible

1621
01:11:05,040 --> 01:11:10,080
feeling I'm going to go the way your old

1622
01:11:07,040 --> 01:11:12,679
man did meaning die young but

1623
01:11:10,080 --> 01:11:16,719
actually he really did go the way of

1624
01:11:12,679 --> 01:11:20,560
Elvis which is that they both had an

1625
01:11:16,719 --> 01:11:23,159
incredible number of drugs in their body

1626
01:11:20,560 --> 01:11:25,880
I thought that for the past 15 years

1627
01:11:23,159 --> 01:11:29,239
Michael had obviously been on a downward

1628
01:11:25,880 --> 01:11:31,880
trajectory in terms of his relationship

1629
01:11:29,239 --> 01:11:35,520
with reality and his perception of

1630
01:11:31,880 --> 01:11:37,440
himself what really was the Shocker was

1631
01:11:35,520 --> 01:11:40,560
the revelation of the extent of the drug

1632
01:11:37,440 --> 01:11:43,400
use which no responsible physician would

1633
01:11:40,560 --> 01:11:45,719
have allowed within hours of his death

1634
01:11:43,400 --> 01:11:47,400
from Cardiac Arrest police became

1635
01:11:45,719 --> 01:11:49,480
suspicious about the doctors Who

1636
01:11:47,400 --> 01:11:50,600
provided Jackson with a steady supply of

1637
01:11:49,480 --> 01:11:53,520
prescription

1638
01:11:50,600 --> 01:11:56,320
drugs though it was over 7 months before

1639
01:11:53,520 --> 01:11:58,360
Dr Conrad Murray was arrested

1640
01:11:56,320 --> 01:11:59,679
and another 18 months before he was

1641

just a great artist great writer great

1664
01:12:58,920 --> 01:13:03,000
performer but he was a visualist as well

01:13:00,800 --> 01:13:06,600
he was incredible

Michael Jackson doesn't just come along

1669
01:13:12,880 --> 01:13:19,600
once in a century or a

1670
01:13:16,280 --> 01:13:22,920
lifetime he only comes along once we had

1671

the benefit of enjoying him while he was

1674
01:13:26,719 --> 01:13:31,679
something genuine there was something

1675
01:13:29,600 --> 01:13:34,880
exuberant there was something that just

1676
01:13:31,679 --> 01:13:37,639
radiated life in his work life in all of

1677
01:13:34,880 --> 01:13:40,440
its extremes even when Michael Jackson

1678
01:13:37,639 --> 01:13:45,000
sang a cliche he could inject it with

1679
01:13:40,440 --> 01:13:45,000
life and that was his gift
