To confirm the story. In the next days the shock and then the emotional outpouring of his adoring fans were felt around the world. The king of pops death of a age 50 added one more mystery to a life already filled with so many mysteries of life that constantly landed him in the news for his bizarre behavior as much as for his record sales and a decade on questions still swirl around his life and death what pledge acts and to become dependent on the dangerous sleep drugs that eventually killed him. What led the child star of the jackson 5 to disfigure himself through repeated extreme plastic surgery. And the question that many are asking once again whos telling the truth when it comes to the several allegations of child sexual abuse against the star jackson was acquitted on all Court Charges against him but just this year the h. B. O. Documentary leaving neverland raised that question once again with the role. In the film 2 men accused jackson of molesting them when they were children told me if they ever found out what we were doing. He and i would go to jail for the rest of our lives and the family they say they lied under oath to protect their idol and abuser since the documentarys release sales of jacksons music still in the 10s of millions of dollars annually kept it. 10 years after his death Michael Jackson is as divisive as ever. And im joined by the author of my colleague david levy. 10 is all since his death and his critics and accuses are as vocal as yet he still has a ton of fun well he does robin go to any party where they put on believe gene or thriller and there will be people on the dance floor no matter what they think about him as a person and thats because his talent is undeniable and really no one can take that from him but really you just have to take a quick look on twitter to see that there is a raging battle between his accusers and his supporters and its pretty ugly you forgot the one camp saying he was a child abuser who is music basically should be banned but we should never ever listen to again and then on the other hand youve got his diehard fans who will defend him to the very end and in some cases even threaten the people that basically as defaming him for instance theres an author of a book about the case against him diane dimond she says shes received multiple Death Threats from some of his more extreme fans so 10 years on this is not all about moonwalking this is really a very ugly battle and how much of the new accusations in this recent documentary. Damaged the brand i think its a little too early to say how permanent the damage is but they have done some damage now we should be clear that this brand is huge in the time since hes died Michael Jacksons record sales and business deals have been worth 2500000000. 00 so that is a lot of money and still were looking at this now post me to through a new whens of these new accusations and they have changed things that are radio stations that have said that they wont play his music anymore theyre not the major not the major not the major radio stations but there is this new sense that he is toxic. Figure that you dont want to go near at the same time though theres still an appetite for him theres a las vegas show that you can go to every day about him theres a musical here in europe thats been touring for a decade that still touring several others theres even a new musical thats set to premiere next year in new york so why have to see how that goes post documentary. And here in europe there is even a massive show of artwork about Michael Jackson still on tour so there is an appetite so for his work i think we still will be talking about him and 10 years 20 years 30 years to come im sure we will as always david thank you very much feel good signs.
