Michael's hair catches fire at 58 seconds into the video.
He doesn't realize that his hair is on fire initially & continues to dance.
The Pepsi commercial where Jackson's hair catches fire obtained by US Mag.
This mishap was the Beginning to Michael's End...
He was prescribed heavy duty pain medication for the 2nd & 3rd degree burns he received during the filming of this commercial.
25 years later & he still couldn't find the strength to kick the habit he developed after this accident.
Michael died June 25, 2009 at his $100,000/mo rented Holmby Hills mansion after slipping into cardiac arrest from being administered a powerful anesthesia only used in hospitals for the purpose of sedation in surgeries.
Side Note - It's being said that the video director wanted Michael to stand beneath the pyrotechnics to give a more majestical effect.
I added the audio & images to this footage.
