Jugendliche in aller Welt waren schockiert, als die Nachricht bekannt wurde: Kurt Cobain hat sich am 5. April 1994 mit einer Schrotflinte erschossen. Obwohl der Vorfall offiziell als Selbstmord deklariert wurde, rissen die Spekulationen um seinen Tod nie ganz ab. Hatte sich einfach jemand Cobains reißerische Weltschmerzpose zunutze gemacht, um einen Mord zu vertuschen? Geriet seine skandalträchtige Witwe Courtney Love zu Unrecht immer wieder in Verdacht, am Tod ihres Mannes nicht ganz unschuldig zu sein? Die Journalisten Halperin und Wallace sind den Ungereimtheiten auf den Grund gegangen.

„Michael Jackson hat nur noch sechs Monate zu leben“ sagte Ian Halperin Ende Dezember 2008. Seine Nachforschungen zu Jacksons schwindender Gesundheit bestimmten fortan die Schlagzeilen. Weltweit. Sechs Monate später war der King of Pop tot. „Dass meine Prognose fast auf den Tag genau eintrifft, schockiert mich zutiefst.“ Halperins Überzeugung: Was immer die Autopsieberichte auch enthüllen werden - Michael Jacksons Todesursache ist Gier. Freunde und Weggefährten zeichnen ein tragisches Bild von den letzten Lebensjahren und -tagen, in denen Jackson verzweifelt versuchte, sich auf die Konzerte in London vorzubereiten. Die Wahrheit hinter der Maske - ein ebenso spannender wie erstaunlicher Thriller. Ian Halperin is also a former winner of the Rolling Stone magazine Award for Investigative Journalism. Ian is a regular correspondent for Court TV and has contributed to 60 Minutes 2.

In late December 2008, Ian Halperin told the world that Michael Jackson had only six months to live. His investigations into Jackson's failing health made headlines around the globe. Six months later, the King of Pop was dead. Whatever the final autopsy results reveal, it was greed that killed Michael Jackson. Friends and associates paint a tragic picture of the last years and days of his life as Jackson made desperate attempts to prepare for the planned concert series at London's 02 Arena in July 2009. These shows would have earned millions for the singer and his entourage, but he could never have completed them, not mentally, and not physically. Michael knew it and his advisors knew it. Anyone who caught even a fleeting glimpse of the frail old man hiding beneath the costumes and cosmetics would have understood that the London tour was madness. Why did it happen this way?
