A profile of musical legend Michael Jackson, the King of Pop who began his career at the tender age of four as lead singer with the Jackson 5 and went on to release Thriller, the best-selling album of all time. In the 1980s he was the most famous man on the planet. However, his phenomenal success as an artist masked a troubled and controversial private life, and his erratic behaviour was the subject of lurid tabloid speculation.
