Michael Jackson hair on fire

pepsi killed Michael Jackson "Michael Jackson Hair On Fire" Michael Jackson's accidental burning during a 1984 Pepsi ad shoot unseen footage of Michael Jackson's accidental burning during a 1984 Pepsi ad shoot shocking new footage filmed in L.A.'s Shrine Auditorium on Jan. 27, 1984 US Magazine has obtained and posted footage of the 1984 accident that left Michael Jackson with severe burns. Jackson was filming a television ad for Pepsi when he caught on fire The clip (watch above) shows one take where the pyrotechnics exploded as planned -- after Jackson descended the stairs and began performing with his brothers On the sixth take, though, things went horribly wrong: The fireworks erupted too early, igniting Jackson's head in flames. Jackson is at first unaware he's on fire, and continues dancing. Since MIchael's skin color was still normal at the time his scalp was burned, and, since skin trauma is sometimes the trigger to Vitiligo (confirmed by immunulogists), it is a good bet that the scalp burn was the major trigger. Of course, plastic surgeries, his broken nose when he was in his 20s (which required two surgical procedures as confirmed by J. Randy Taraborelli) plus scarring from his acne and lupus - are ALL skin traumas - and either one could have also been a contribution to his vitiligo Jackson didn't realize his hair was on fire. In the video, he's still dancing as the flames are on his head. When he spins, the flames go out. People on the set tackle him to extinguish the fire, and his brother Jermaine Jackson, playing the guitar in front of him and oblivious to the commotion, turns around. When Michael Jackson emerges from the pile of people trying to help him, the top of his head is bald.

The accident, witnessed by thousands of stunned fans at the Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles, came at the height of Jackson's fame, about a year after the release of his best-selling "Thriller" album. It marked what would be the beginning of serious, lifelong pain for Jackson, who had been treated for painkiller addiction and has been described by relatives and friends as being hooked on pain medication at the time of his death last month at age 50.

Jackson, who was photographed in an ambulance with a bandage on his head and his trademark sequined white glove on his right hand, required several surgeries and needed skin grafts to treat the injury.

In his autobiography, "Moonwalk," he described the cause of the accident as "stupidity, pure and simple."

As he described the accident, he wrote: "... bombs went off on either side of my head, and the sparks set my hair on fire. I was dancing down this ramp and turning around, spinning, not knowing I was on fire. Suddenly I felt my hands reflexively go to my head in an attempt to smother the flames."

As a result of the accident, Pepsi gave Jackson $1.5 million, which he donated to a burn center named

Believe it or not...This accident was the directors fault but he denies it to this day...The crew revealed that he wasn't happy with the pyrotechnics and he wanted them bigger...He also wanted MJ to stay a little longer on that step for more of an effect...The outcome is this :((
