Michael Jackson Pepsi Commercial Hair On Fire Video

US Weekly released the video of Michael Jackson’s infamous Pepsi commercial hair fire incident from 1984. The pyrotechnic explosion goes off correctly and the sixth take in which the explosion occurs too early and sets Michael Jackson hair on fire. MJ continues his performance unaware, but eventually realizes what has happened, at which point he starts to spin around and production crew members rush in to put out the fire. The $1.5 million commercial filmed at the Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles, California.

This incident and the resulting burns suffered by Michael Jackson are said to have been Michael’s introduction to pain killers that eventually lead to a dangerous addiction.

Michael Jackson Legs Photo

ABC News released an exclusive picture of Michael Jackson legs which has been taken last 2002. The photos shows a serious wound, which seems like necrosis, surrounded by unusual needle punctures on MJ’s right leg. According to some specialist the King of Pop suffered from Vitiligo.

“On the photographs of Michael Jackson, it looks like there was necrosis on his lower leg where there might have been fluid that went into his lower leg,” Dr. Debra Jaliman, a leading dermatologist and spokeswoman for the American Academy of Dermatology, told ABC News.

“It looks like there are multiple puncture points from IV placement. If, in fact, he had an IV here, and the IV fluid, which may have been acidic fluid, went into his skin, it might may have, in fact, destroyed the skin,” she said. “That’s all dead skin that would then make an ulceration underneath that skin.”

“If you look at his lower leg you can see puncture points here, so it looks like there was a needle entry here, possibly a needle entry here on his leg,” she told ABC News.

“In 22 years of training, I’ve never seen an IV placed in the legs. You would put, you know, IVs in hands, arms, but oftentimes in my training when I have dealt with people who didn’t have veins anymore in their hands or arms, you look for veins that you can use and sometimes you have to look in other areas of the body,” Jaliman said.
