If you enter this world knowing you are loved & you leave this world knowing the same, then everything that happened in between can be dealt with Michael Jackson In late December 2008, Ian Halperin told the world that Michael Jackson had only six months to live. His investigation into Jackson's failing health made headlines around the globe. Six months later, the King of Pop was dead. Whatever the final autopsy results reveal, it was greed that killed Michael Jackson. Friends & associates paint a tragic picture of the last years & days of his life as Jackson made desperate attempts to prepare for the planned concert series at London's 02 arena in July 2009.  These shows would have earned millions for the singer & his entourage, but he could never have completed them, not mentally, & not physically. Michael knew it & his advisers knew it. Anyone who caught even a fleeting glimpse of the frail old man hiding beneath the costumes & cosmetics would have understood that the London tour was madness. Why did it happen this way? After an intense five-year investigation, New York Times-bestselling author Ian Halperin uncovers the real story of Michael Jackson's final years, a suspenseful & surprising thriller. This investigation separates the bitter truth from the multilayered lies & media distortions of the life of the King of Pop. ...
