Michael Jackson Pepsi Commercial Hair On Fire VIDEO Released
Back in 1984, Michael Jackson and his brothers filmed a commercial for Pepsi-Cola that went horribly wrong and is now believed to have sparked the later pop legend’s lethal addiction to prescription painkillers.
On Wednesday, the previously unseen footage was released by UsMagazine.com.
The $1.5 million commercial — filmed at the Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles — used extreme pyrotechnics that famously caught MJ’s on fire.
In the clip, Jackson is seen successfully finishing one take of the commercial where pyrotechnics go off around him, but on the sixth take, the explosion happens too soon and Jackson’s hair ignites.
Michael, then 25, suffered second and third degree burns on his scalp and body.

WOW can you blame the man for taking pain pills?? I can not even imagine the pain. Pepsi should have paid him more than 1.5 million he should have owned pepsico. What a sad sad story his life was indeed. RIP MJJ
