Footage of Michael Jackson Pepsi Commercial released


I have always wondered when this clip would come out. And now it has.

Us Magazine has released never seen before footage of Michael Jackson's 1984 Pepsi Commercial accident. Most of us know the story. Shooting of the commercial was all going to plan but on the 6th take, fireworks went off too early, setting Michael Jackson's hair on fire. He carried on performing unaware of the flames on his head. But he was soon in agony with second and third degree burns on his scalp and body. This incident is what allegedly kicked off his addiction to pain killers and plastic surgery.

I remember when this happened as I was a massive MJ fan as a kid. And I can't stop watching the clip. I can't believe he could still perform as he must have been in so much pain. He truly was a legendary performer.
