Even though Michael later pursued a solo career and became the most successful artist of all time, the darkness of his childhood left a mark too deep for him to overcome. That’s why Michael was an unhappy man, addicted to drugs and cosmetic surgery.
During Michael’s highly publicized trial it was revealed that he suffered from a long-standing addiction to powerful prescription pain-killers, that started in the 1980s after he was burned while singing for a Pepsi-Cola commercial when a special-effects smoke bomb misfired.
Jackson also underwent numerous plastic surgeries, including rhinoplasty and a chin implant.
Toward the end of his life, Jackson was in so much debt that almost everything he owned was leveraged or sold off. Sadly, he died in 2009 of acute propofol and benzodiazepine intoxication.
