Michael Jackson’s deep psychological issues to a profoundly
lonely and isolated childhood, marked by the “tyranny” and abuse of his father and a dysfunctional family environment. His strict adherence to chastity due to his Jehovah’s Witness faith was met with public ridicule. Teasing about his appearance in his teens led to him developing “acute anxiety syndrome” over his looks. The book recounts his powerful comeback for the This Is It shows, only for the stress of performing 50 concerts instead of the agreed-upon 10 to cause extreme insomnia and vulnerability, ultimately leading to his demise under incompetent medical care.
