Description

Michael Jackson est l'un des rares artistes à pouvoir être qualifié de légende. Comme pour Elvis Presley ou John Lennon, chacun se souviendra de l'endroit où il se trouvait en apprenant la mort du Roi de la Pop. Propulsé au rang de superstar à onze ans à peine, sa musique fait partie intégrante de la vie de tous. Si ses heures de gloire étaient derrière lui, Michael Jackson était sur le point d'effectuer le plus grand come-back de l'histoire du show-biz. Celui-ci n'a pas eu lieu, mais sa musique, son succès et l'hommage mondial qui lui a été rendu témoignent du statut hors normes de Michael Jackson en dépit d'une personnalité souvent controversée. Cet ouvrage accompagné de nombreuses photos - inédites pour certaines - raconte la vie de cette icône, de ses débuts au sein des Jackson Five jusqu'à l'apogée de sa carrière avec l'album Thriller, qui de-meure aujourd'hui encore le disque le plus vendu de tous les temps. Il décrypte aussi comment les angoisses et les obsessions ont progressivement conduit cette bête de scène vers son ultime baisser de rideau.
