From child star to superstar, how much did Michael Jackson suffer that led to his tragic death?

About Michael? There are different opinions about Jackson's death. Why is a person standing at the peak of world music terminally ill in just a few years? In addition to physical reasons, it is more psychological pressure.

Michael, the king of music? Jackson was chased by the media all his life, but rarely interviewed by the media, because many events in his life were magnified and then pushed to the forefront. Rumors such as bleached skin, Elvis Presley's daughter's divorce, baby photos and bankruptcy, especially the child molestation case of 1993, plunged Jackson into a nightmare abyss.

He began to avoid the media, new records were pushed again and again, and there were fewer and fewer concerts. Although he finally won the lawsuit, he was labeled by the media, because no matter how Jackson's fans spoke for him, he could not resist the media's crazy campaign and smear. For the media, what they want is a topic, that is, traffic. However, this has caused a devastating blow to Jackson himself, and these events are related to an important location, that is, Jackson's mansion Neverland in the United States.

Neverland is located in Santa Barbara County, California. This is the residence of Michael Jackson 1988 in the United States from 2005, and it is also a private amusement park. Originally a pasture, 198 1 was bought by a real estate developer and built a house. 1988, the ranch was awarded by the popular superstar Michael? Jackson bought it. He bought this place because he made a MV here a few years ago, and he liked this ranch very much at that time. The ranch initially asked for $32 million. After Jackson's lawyer made a counter-offer, he finally clinched the deal for $ 654.38+0950 million, but it was still the sky-high price of $ 654.38+0988. Later, Jackson named it Neverland, which originated from a Neverland in the cartoon Peter Pan, and was Jackson's favorite animation when he was a child. Then began to transform Neverland, Jackson's home in the United States, and put all kinds of amusement facilities.

Why did he transform his residence into an amusement park? Because Jackson was a child star since he was a child. Born into a musical family, he is the eighth child of the Jackson family. From the age of five, he and his four brothers formed the The Jackson 5, and then made great achievements on the stage. Although the orchestra is very popular, Michael Jackson, the youngest of them, shows the strength of a superstar. He is better than his brothers in solo dance, dance and typhoon.

Ten years later, Jackson began to fly solo. 2 1 year-old, released the first album "Wall", which made a sensation all over the world and embarked on the road of superstar. Jackson once said that his childhood was lonely because his father joe jackson was very strict with his brothers. When they rehearse, his father often whips Jackson, so that he can practice harder and achieve something in music. This is a common educational method of the Jackson family, but it has a psychological shadow on Michael Jackson.

So he left his family early. He said he had no childhood, only endless rehearsals. Therefore, after complete independence, Jackson wanted to find his childhood for himself. In his impression, when he was a child, he wanted to go to the amusement park most, but his childhood was filled with rehearsals and performances. After buying Neverland, he decided to build it into a private amusement park.

Neverland Manor covers an area of 27 10 mu, equivalent to the area of Beijing Forbidden City 16, and can accommodate all kinds of giant amusement facilities. Besides, Jackson is fully capable of creating a fantastic paradise for himself. Neverland has a total of 18 large-scale amusement facilities, including ferris wheel, pirate ship, carousel, samba, balloon, bumper car and small train, all of which are designed and customized by Jackson himself.

In addition, Neverland also has a cinema that can accommodate 50 people and a snack bar that serves popcorn, ice cream, cola and snacks. Besides amusement facilities, there is also a zoo with elephants, giraffes and chimpanzees. Hundreds of animals, such as pythons, black bears and alpacas, and a large pool full of flamingos.

Through the gate of Neverland and along the path, you can see a huge building. This is Paradise Railway Station, named after Jackson's mother. The steam train inside will reach various amusement facilities along three railways running through the amusement park. In addition, there are various libraries, museums and game rooms, as well as 22 resort hotels with different styles. The whole Neverland is equipped with stereo, enthusiastic service staff can sing and dance, and children will have a more enjoyable experience here than Disney. The annual operating cost of Neverland is10 million USD, of which 150 employees serve the park. Jackson's only requirement for employees is to keep smiling at work.

This paradise is not open to the public, but has been open to the whole world free of charge, especially to poor children with diseases, including many children with cancer. These children come to the manor through various charities, and all customers play and live for free. There are also two isolation rooms in the cinema of the manor for those children who are undergoing chemotherapy and have low immunity to watch movies to prevent them from being infected by bacteria.

Jackson turned his childhood dream into reality. Every year, he spends a lot of time here to invite children from all over the world to heaven, many of whom are poor children in Africa, but in this paradise, Jackson has a nightmare start.

1993, Michael in full swing? Jackson was on a world tour when suddenly an accusation stopped the tour. Elvin Chandler, a dentist in Los Angeles, accused Jackson of sexually assaulting his 13-year-old son, Jody Chandler, which caused a global sensation. Jackson met the Chandler family when his car broke down on 1992.

Chandler said that he and his son are both huge fans, and the two sides have forged a good friendship. Jiexun went to Chandler's house for dinner many times, and the two families established friendship. Training takes care of Jody, because Jody's parents divorced early, and he has been living between his parents and his family. Elvin Chandler is Jody's adoptive father. Jackson seems to see the shadow of his childhood in this boy of 12 years old. He often invites the Chandler family to Neverland.

At a dinner party, Chandler asked Jackson if he could invest in a real estate project, but the proposal was rejected by Jackson. Not long after that, Jackson took Jody to Monaco to attend the World Music Festival Awards Concert. After the operation, Jackson took Jody back to Chandler's home, and they lived in the same room that night. Chandler suspects that Jackson has misbehaved with Jody at this time, although he has no evidence.

But at first, people including Jody and Jody's mother denied Chandler's statement, especially the client Jody, 12, and publicly stated that Jackson had never done anything special to him.

Chandler won't give up. He used a strong sedative when pulling his son's tooth, which made Jody have a false memory under the action of drugs, and made Jody, who was originally devoted to Jackson, say what he wanted through recording. That's the verdict. LAPD searched Neverland. This sensational news made Jackson a target of public criticism.

Elvin Chandler and his lawyer offered Michael Jackson an out-of-court settlement of $20 million, but Jackson refused, and only offered a settlement of $6,543,800+0,000, because it had a great influence on Jackson, but he didn't want to be blackmailed by Chandler.

1994, this case has been fermented for almost a year, and the US Federal Bureau of Investigation intervened in this case. The key to this case is to determine the authenticity of Jody's testimony.

The FBI called in a child molester and asked Jody to describe Jackson's private parts. Then they sent a notice to Jackson asking for a medical examination. This is an insult to Jackson personally, but in order to clarify the facts as soon as possible, he agreed to the request of the FBI, so he filmed Jackson naked for 25 minutes in a room under the supervision of the local prosecutor in Los Angeles. Finally, they came to the conclusion that Jody's description of Jackson's private parts was inconsistent with reality.

Although this is strong evidence for Jackson, it has a great influence on him and has toured all over the world. Ten years after Pepsi endorsement was cancelled, Jackson lost more than ten kilograms and his spirit once collapsed. He relies on drugs to sleep every night, so he chose to spend $20 million to settle out of court. The incident was not tried in the end. Jackson's team didn't want to spend more time and energy for professional reasons. The two sides signed a confidentiality agreement and promised not to discuss the issue of fees again.

But Jackson himself didn't intend to end it, but at the peak of his career, everything stopped and the impact was too great. He is not allowed to waste any time and energy on this case. After that, Jackson's career was greatly affected, but it also gradually recovered. 1995 released a history album and returned to the first-line music platform. But then he never reached the height of 1993. Unexpectedly, an interview a few years later pulled Jackson into an endless abyss.

The first question Bashir asked was, how do you usually write songs?

Jackson said that if I want to write a song, I will tell myself first that I want to write the best song in the world, and then I will empty myself. I will drive alone on the road, watching neon lights and people passing by. I will have some great rhythms in a few days, and then this song will be born.

Bashir urged Jackson to give a live performance, and then Jackson improvised a performance in the studio. The great Billie Jane also taught Hill his signature action, Space Slide.

Bashir asked, what were you thinking when you danced?

Jackson replied, I don't think about anything, just feel the music, feel that I have become a variety of musical instruments, and imagine that I am the physical embodiment of music.

Bashir asked, why do you want to build a Neverland inspired by Peter Pan's Neverland?

Jackson said that Peter Pan represented something deep in his heart.

Bashir asked, were you severely disciplined by your father when you were a child?

Jackson smiled awkwardly at the question and said, it's not that exaggerated. But obviously Bashir didn't buy it.

Bashir said that you once said that your father would beat you with a belt because you missed a beat. Why did he do it? Bashir is leading Jackson to recall his dissatisfaction with his father step by step.

Jackson replied that his father would really hit him because he made a mistake. Every time he rehearses, he is nervous for fear of doing something wrong.

Bashir then asked him how long? Hit you once. Even though Jackson seemed reluctant, Bashir didn't let him go.

He then asked, besides using a belt, what else will your father hit you with?

Jackson said he was surrounded by chains and everything he could find. Although this violent discipline made Jackson 5 successful, it obviously did great harm to little Jackson. At the same time, Jackson also said that he would never touch his children, even if he was angry again, because he didn't want his children to experience his pain.

During this time, Jackson also watched his two children go to a shopping mall in Las Vegas with Bashir, but he put masks on both children because he didn't want the media to photograph their faces.

Bashir asked him if he would let the children wear masks every time they went out.

Jackson said yes, because there was no way out. Wherever they go, paparazzi will follow them. Every day when I go out, paparazzi all over Los Angeles will know.

Finally, after spending some time together, Jackson gradually opened his heart to Bashir.

At this time, Bashir finally asked about the child molestation case of 1993. He said, if I invite my son or daughter's little friend to sleep with me, what will their parents think?

Jackson said, of course, their parents will think you are a strange person, but if you trust each other very much, that's ok.

This made Bashir very puzzled. He couldn't understand what Jackson said about friendship between partners.

Bashir asked, 1993 what did you think when you were first accused?

Jackson said he was shocked. Everyone knows how much I like children. I think there is nothing wrong with this, because people unconsciously associate the word bed with sex, but they just sleep together, tell stories, listen to music, and then sleep happily.

After returning to Neverland, Bashir met two little boys, one of whom was Wen Jia, who was diagnosed with cancer. He was 13 years old at that time.

He came to Neverland because one of Gavin's last wishes was to meet Jackson himself. So a nonprofit organization in Los Angeles contacted Jackson. After that, Wen Jia was invited to Neverland and lived here for a while. When Bashir interviewed Jackson, he also interviewed Wen Jia.

In the interview, Wen Jia said excitedly that Jackson was his best friend. He said that once he wanted to share a room with Jackson, and later Jackson agreed. They tell stories and listen to songs together.

Jackson asked Gavin for an interview because he wanted to prove to Bashir that he and these children are pure friendship, because through Gavin's expression, they are pure partnership.

Bashir just doesn't think so. This interview gave him what he wanted, that is, to dig deep into Jackson's child molestation incident and once again divert the public's attention to it.

Bashir asked Jackson if they slept together.

Jackson said there were other children in the room. They all slept on the floor and listened to songs together until they fell asleep.

Bashir didn't understand, but Jackson said that's because you haven't reached my mental state.

After the interview, Jackson thought. This documentary can help the public better understand him and his relationship with children.

But I didn't expect Bashir to focus on his relationship with Wen Jia when editing this documentary. The whole documentary has a space of 1/4 about the relationship between Gavin and Jackson, especially when Jackson and Gavin spend the night in the same room by constantly combining pictures.

After the film was broadcast, the media once again shifted the topic to Jackson, and 15 accused Jackson like a storm. On the one hand, Jackson sued Bashir. Deliberately distort the facts. On the one hand, in the face of these accusations, he will never settle out of court like 1993, and he will fight back to the end.

After a series of complicated investigations, in 2005, the jury declared all the charges against Jackson 15 invalid, and Jackson won the case and won the lawsuit.

However, this documentary incident caused a devastating blow to his career. All its advertising contracts around the world have been cancelled. After being searched by the police in Neverland, he said that he didn't feel at home there.

Since 2005, I no longer live in Neverland, everything is closed, and I no longer accept sick children from all over the world. The whole manor is in a state of abandonment and the employees are dissolved.

Michael. Jackson, at the undisputed peak in the history of music, proved that he had to bear criticism and pressure that ordinary people could not imagine.

Some people are crazy about him, but at the same time, the media take advantage of these crazy topics. In the era when traffic is king, all the truth is not as good as interest. Even if Jackson wins the lawsuit, the media will win because they have got what they want.

Four years later, in 2009, Jackson decided not to sink. He announced the grand plan to hold 50 concerts in London called "ZC", which excited fans all over the world. The concert is scheduled for July 2009 13. Jackson announced that this will be his last concert, with the purpose of calling on everyone to protect the earth and the environment. Tickets for 50 concerts were all sold out in a short time, and Jackson was also rehearsing nervously.

After years of waiting, we can see Jackson on the stage again. A bad news came, just three weeks before the concert, Michael? Jackson died of a heart attack, and he was rehearsing nervously a few hours ago.

Jackson died because his personal doctor gave him an overdose of prescription drugs, which led to cardiac arrest.

Only then did people know that Jackson had been taking various painkillers because of burns caused by shooting Pepsi commercials before. In addition, two lawsuits put him under great psychological pressure. Every night, he has to inject various drugs to fall asleep. He is addicted to these prescription drugs.

In addition, the original plan for the concert was 10, which was somehow increased to 50. For his physical condition at that time, it was a disaster, and the last dose of medicine was just the last straw to crush the camel.

In other words, he is on the verge of physical and psychological collapse. Maybe he knows he can't finish 50 concerts at all, but he still wants to fight again. Anyway, he is still a unique superstar.
