Bates reports that Jackson's deceased body was covered in bruises and needle marks. The magazine also says that Jackson wore a prosthetic nose and that was not attached. "Despite the missing nose, someone who saw him then said he looked at rest...sort of porcelain and impeccable," Bates said of the music icon.
As for Jackson's doctor, Bates says Dr. Murray demanded $1 million per month to treat Jackson. He was given $150,000 per month.
In Jackson's professional life, Rolling Stone reports that the King of Pop wanted to get into movies. Bates says Jackson starred in a film called 'Ghost' and was interested in making "Thriller" a feature length movie.
In response to the controversy surrounding the 50 shows Jackson was scheduled to do in London, Bate says the musician was excited for the performances. Rolling Stone reports that Jackson was trying to beat his alleged rival Prince by having more consecutive shows at London's O2 Arena than the musician. The magazine says that Jackson also asked that he be submitted to the Guinness Book of World Records in some capacity.
