Believe it or not, Transit Media of Montreal is releasing a Michael Jackson biography now titled “Michael Jackson: The Last Days,” tomorrow, less than a week after Jackson’s untimely death. The book, an unauthorized biographer was written by Ian Halperin and had been in the works (originally under working titles which included “Michael Jackson: Return from Exile” and “Michael Jackson Unmasked: Peter Pan or Pervert”). Following Jackson’s death, Halperin reportedly added about fifty pages.
Halperin was quoted in several press outlets in December, 2008 claiming that Jackson was seriously ill. Halperin claimed that Jackson suffered from Alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency, and required a lung transplant.
In today’s Mail Online, Halperin includes a shocking allegation that “on June 21, 2009, Jackson told my contact that he wanted to die. He said he didn’t have what it takes to perform any more because he had lost his voice and dance moves. ‘It’s not working out,’ Jackson said. ‘I’m better off dead. I don’t have anywhere left to turn. I’m done.’”
Halperin has written several other unauthorized biographies, including Celine Dion: Behind The Fairytale - A Very, Very, Unauthorized Biography, and Fire and Rain: The James Taylor Story. Transit Media was enjoined from publishing Halperin’s unauthorized biography of Cirque du Soleil founder Guy Laliberte unless a cover photo was altered.
A search of Amazon did not contain a link for the Jackson biography. The Transit Media website does not have the book listed as of this posting.

I THINK IAN HALPERIN IS A JEALOUS LOST LOVER OF MICHAEL JACKSON. HEE HEE
NICE MONEY IF YOU CAN GET IT.
Ian Halperin is a pathological liar, and his claims were completely refused!!!
I hope that the Jacksons will sue him for such unbelievable lies!!!
This liar wants only to get money thinking that somebody will buy this crap book???
I believe that his lies will be defeated soon!
i think all mj fans would never admit he was gay and a perv even if they saw him with their own eyes. that poor kid who got abused by him described how his groin and genitals skin looked like. a kid can't be taught that. think of it. mj is not a saint, more like a weirdo. and mentally not stable. someone teaching his kids to say ''dad i love you so much, you're the best dad in the world and i have to thank you for the ice cream'' isn't sane. making them sing ''you are my daddy my only daddy'' come on, for christ sake open your eyes
Got something to say?
