《Michael Jackson: The Magic and the Madness》

作者兰迪•塔拉博雷利生活在洛杉矶，系迈克尔•杰克逊生前好友，与杰克逊家族来往甚密，经过对杰克逊家族30多年的研究，近百次独家对话采访，《Michael Jackson: The Magic and the Madness》从关于杰克逊各种小报流言开始入手，以许多幕后不为人知的真相告诉大家一个真实的迈克尔•杰克逊。从他早年多才多艺的一举成名到，到变幻莫测，魅力四射的整容造型，以及匪夷所思的各种花边新闻。传记全面客观的记录了许多幕后生活重要事件：他的恋童癖官司、不善理财导致的财务危机、与猫王的女儿短暂的婚姻、其后与护士戴比同样短暂而失败的关系、他的爱与恨、以及他的孩子们。 So much has how been said and written about the life and career of Michael Jackson that it has become almost impossible to disentangle the man from the myth. Recent revelations are only the latest instalments of a saga that began decades ago. This book is the fruit of over 30 years of research and hundreds of exclusive interviews with a remarkable level of access to the very closest circles of the Jackson family - including Michael himself. Cutting through tabloid rumours, J. Randy Taraborrelli traces the real story behind the Michael Jackson we see and hear today, from his drilling as a child star through the blooming of his talent to his ever-changing personal appearance and bizarre publicity stunts. This major biography includes the behind-the-scenes story to many of the landmarks in Jackson's life: his legal and commercial battles, his marriages to Lisa Marie Presley and Debbie Rowe, his passions and addictions, his children. Objective and revealing, it carries the hallmarks of all of Taraborrelli's best-sellers: impeccable research, brilliant storytelling and definitive documentation.
