Synopsis

“I'll always be Peter Pan in my heart,” Michael Jackson once said. And like the character he loved so much, Jackson seemed eternally childlike and charismatic, which made his recent death so shocking to his legions of devastated fans. This lavish illustrated biography pays tribute to the superstar, who had been rehearsing for a record-breaking sellout season of shows at London's O2 Arena at the time of his death.
Filled with performance, backstage, and family photos-many never before published-Michael Jackson captures why he was the world's most popular entertainer...and the true King of Pop.
