A propos du livre

Quatrième de couverture :

'If you enter this world knowing you are loved and 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 and associates paint a tragic picture of the last years and days of his life as Jackson made desperate attempts to prepare for the planned concert series at London's O2 arena in July 2009. These shows would have earned millions for the singer and his entourage, but he could never have completed them, not mentally, and not physically. Michael knew it and his advisers knew it. Anyone who caught even a fleeting glimpse of the frail old man hiding beneath the costumes and 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 and surprising thriller.
This investigation separates the bitter truth from the multilayered lies and media distortions as the world says goodbye to the King of Pop.

Revue de presse :

‘Halperin offers the most thorough investigation of Jackson’s alleged paedophilia, and includes a long transcript of an interview with the boy, Jordan Chandler, Jackson paid off’ Evening Standard 23/7
‘Truth, and people’s relationship with it, emerges as the most disturbing aspect of Ian Halperin’s forensic trawl through the evidence and conjecture about Michael Jackson’s private life and predilections, from the first allegations of child abuse in 1993 to the singer’s death last month at the age of 50. A Canadian journalist and former musician, Halperin comes to the story determined to hold to the truth, no matter where it leads him. He will doubtless be lumped in with every cut-and-paste merchant now bashing out hagiographies and hatchet jobs, but the fact that he has been working on the book for several years, and that Unmasked is resolutely non-sensationalist, should excuse him from such company' The Sunday Times 26/7
‘This astonishingly well-researched book concludes that greed killed Jackson: anorexia and a rare lung disease meant he could never have done the 50 O2 gigs’ Four stars, London Lite 21/7
'At least author and celeb blogger Ian Halperin spent five years working on the rush-released Unmasked’ Metro 23/7
