Newly released video of Michael Jackson’s hair on fire 1984

[kastro]

Sources close to Jackson have claimed he was never the same after the 1984 accident

In 1984, at the height of his popularity in the US, Michael Jackson was shooting a commercial for Pepsi when on the sixth take of a particular shot, the pyrotechnics behind him caused Jackson’s Jheri Curl to erupt into a column of fire and is often seen as the major turning point in Jackson’s life, when he became addicted to painkillers. Before now, footage of the actual incident was never released.

Holy fuck tha shit was crazy! I remember when that shit happend but never knew it was that bad. No wonder he got tore into the pain killers after that.



Crazy that he settled for 1 million compensation. Im thinking if that happend these days he's be looking for 250 million! He'd deserve it also, that must have been agony.

That is the unfunniest Michael moment.

The funniest was when he, in a stupor from whatever he was taking at the time, accepted an award he had not been given at the 2002 VMAs. I laugh every time I see that video. He was in his own world, always.

But then his nose fell off and it was gasp-worthy instead of funny.

[stefanwzyga]

I remember seeing some footage at the time, but not this.

 

[Bender]

anyone would think that would put someone off using cosmetics, all the hairspray on his hair would have been a catalyst for the fireworks to start a fire

 

[Bobby Sands]
