Michael Jackson on fire

Wednesday July 15, 2009

Categories: Varia

Here is never-before-seen footage -- past the commercial for the Flip camera -- of the 1984 Pepsi commercial accident that set Michael Jackson's hair on fire. It's shocking to watch his head go up like that. He suffered second and third degree burns. It was this incident, it is said, that began his 25-year addiction to painkillers. I cannot imagine enduring the pain from this burn. The poor guy. If you think he was just some sort of dope fiend, imagine having to live with the pain from this thing, and what risks you would take to achieve deliverance from it. I've put it below the jump because the video runs continuously, which is annoying.
