A powerful chronicle of the sixteen weeks leading up to King of Pop Michael Jackson\'s death
Klappentext:
A powerful chronicle of the sixteen weeks leading up to King of Pop Michael Jackson\'s death
Michael Jackson\'s final months were like the rest of his short and legendary life: filled with deep lows and soaring highs, a constant hunt for privacy, and the pressure and fame that made him socially fragile and almost--ultimately--unable to live.
With the insight and compassion that he brought to his bestselling telling of Martin Luther King, Jr.\'s final year, Tavis Smiley provides a glimpse into the superstar\'s life in this emotional, honest, yet celebratory book. Readers will witness Jackson\'s campaign to recharge his career--hiring and firing managers and advisors, turning to and away from family members, fighting depression and drug dependency--while his one goal remained: to mount the most spectacular series of shows the world had ever seen. BEFORE YOU JUDGE ME is a humanizing look at Jackson\'s last days.
