Anyone see this
Most of the stuff is familiar, though wasn't aware of some of the meds he was taking, how he was able to 'switch on' during rehearsals of his fated tour
Just grim stuff really, rewatching all of it
Next week it has the last months of Whitney

Yes of course the Doctor should have put his foot down and said no, but then he would just be replaced with someone who would. And that was the same throughout his life.
I mean surely a plastic surgeon would talk him out of that hideous work that he called a face and yet they knew they wouldn't get the work if they did. No one could look at that face and say it was a work of art as it was half man half woman and everything else thrown in.
I think that was reflected in the jail sentence he was given - 4 years is quite light for the American justice system.
I didn't know he had arthritis due to a stage injury some years before or that he lost his real hair after the Pepsi burning. All in all, he was someone who was let down by those around him ( from his bullying father to his doctors ) who then lost control of himself because no one could say 'no' to him.
Re the cosmetic surgery I'd say there were two 'surgeons' in competition with each other, I'd go further and suggest Arnie Klein was in love with Michael Jackson.
The recent case brought by his mother demonstrated he had a drug issue long before any child molestation claims. Debbie Rowe went on the first part of the Dangerous Tour to deal with the issue, but with a programme supplied by the rival doctor to her then boss Klein. Karen Faye was carrying two vials of Demerol in her name for Jackson, supplied by the same doctor.
The same doctor organised over the phone for Jackson to be given Diprivan/Propofol in a hotel room, Debbie Rowe was there, she says it was safe because they were proper doctors.
People who knew and worked with him regularly said, what Michael wants Michael gets. Look at the number of doctors 'invited' to Neverland or went on trips with Michael. These doctors have admitted they were either unaware of the other doctors dealing with Jackson or were unaware of what medication they were providing.
It's amazing that someone with his extraordinary talent; his fame & wealth would end up like he did.
I also didn't need to see the picture of Jackson's dead body.
That's what I thought too.
When the public image of him is pulled away, he was such a sad, lonely person. He really didn't have anyone to turn too for some real, common sense support. But $400 million in debt?!!!
Very much so.
You can always tell a poorly-produced programme when they make fundamental errors such as showing what looked to be a young photograph of Jermaine instead of Michael.
The so called doctor, and what professional would take part in such a vile show, didn't have his facts correct, if you watched the trial, it was pretty much proved that Murrey did have MJ hooked up to a continuous drip of propofol, and he spent 40 minutes on the phone before he found him collapsed, and dispite knowing an EMT station was two minutes away, he took 20 minutes to summon help and that was only to phone a body guard who was not on site. According to all of the medical witnesses that delay was the difference between life and death.
MJ was a sad figure, he had a genuine need at times for heavy pain killers, but in the end the one he was addicted to was not in his system when he died, nor was there any in the house, his own addiction didn't kill him, and his liver and kidneys did not show the signs of drug abuse that they should if he had been a long term habitual user.
He was in pain, stressed to hell, relentlessly bullied by the Murdoch media, lied about, he financially supported most of his family and was ripped off by so many people. No wonder he died young. Very sad.
i dont know, but i am sure you can find it on 5OD
I havent watched this yet, but by judging the comments on here, not sure i want to
I don't know about permissions but the picture was used at Murray's trial, so it's already in the public domain anyway.
And calling the programme 'cheap and trashy' has got nothing to do with 'defending' Michael Jackson.
It was one of those low-budget shock docs in the style of the National Enquirer, the kind of magazine which once used a picture of Whitney Houston in her coffin as one of its front pages. It had nothing new to tell.
The bleaching of his skin was hardly a revelation.
It was blatantly obvious that he was bleaching.
The extent of his drug dependency was the real eye opener.
It's amazing he made it to 50.:o
Which I believe was sandwiched between 2 Celebrity Big Brother programmes.
The hair accident changed his life undoubtedly, at that point he was at the peak of his musical career, was anti-drugs and had only 2 nose jobs (one to correct breathing problems with the first one)
He may still have ended up off the rails without the accident, but it was definitely the accident that led him on to prescription drugs...and the antics that followed such as buying Bubbles, building a childhood 'dream home' Neverland could easily be attributed to being spaced-out on meds.
the sad part of the documentary for me was that Michael did try and sort himself out very late in the day, after AEG hit him with an ultimatum that they would pull the shows he quit the Demerol and instead tried to take Ephedrine to make himself energetic (which led to the 'This Is It' movie footage) he knew it was his last chance for a comeback and was giving it a real go.
From details given at the 2005 trial and in the recent one brought by his mother, I believe he may have bought the ATV Music catalogue in 1985 on borrowed money, also Neverland. The amount he spent on fitting out Neverland fit in with his debts at the time.
It seems the concerts didn't make much money, the Dangerous Tour 1992/93 was said to have just broken even. It looks like he never balanced the books and his spending exceeded his income and his debts just grew and grew.
