ESSENCE.com has learned that a novel written by the “King of Pop” himself is currently being shopped around to New York publishers, according to a source in the industry.
The illustrated novel depicts a rock star at the height of his success who becomes disillusioned with money and fame and obsesses about death.
According to the source, the book mirrors Michael Jackson’s own rise to superstardom and self-imposed seclusion, reflecting an inner torment and struggle with personal demons.
Working with a collaborator, the source confirmed, Jackson conceptualized the story line, characters and even the illustrations.
The book is expected to sell in the six figures.
Definitely the best musician and entertainer of all time Jacko’s death was actually caused by all the emotional hardship he had to bear with all the child abuse charges made against him. He prevailed in the court case, nonetheless his health suffered enormously. So can you say his death was a single doctor’s fault, or perhaps the zeal with which our society judges before trial? This is no more the case than with famous people.
Michael Jackson dying was a massive surprise for anyone who loves music, though in hindsight it was perhaps not so shocking. The child molestation charges pressed upon him caused his health to spiral out of control, both emotional and physical. Once he began to depend on drugs to merely get by, that was when there definitely was no way back, in my humble opinion.
I don’t believe it, when did this man find time to write.
