"The Insider" has learned that Michael Jackson's only autobiography, Moonwalk, will be re-released this year.

Harmony Books has acquired the rights to Moonwalk, Jackson's only autobiography that was originally published in 1988. The book became an instant No. 1 New York Times bestseller, selling nearly 500,000 copies, according to a release from Harmony Books.

The new edition will include a new introduction by a "well known figure."

Moonwalk chronicles Jackson's life growing up, his time as one member of the Jackson 5, and his mega-success as a solo pop artist. It also unveils his writing process behind his classic pop hits, "Beat It," "Billie Jean" and "We Are the World."

The book will also delve into Jackson's personal relationships, including with his sister Janet Jackson, and celebs friends, like Diana Ross.

You can grab the new edition of Moonwalk, selling for $25, on October 13.

    • If I hear 1 more person call Michael a child molester, I'm going to scream! He was aquitted! Nobody said anything about Elvis dating Priscilla at the ripe age of 14. As far as I'm concerned you people can "Leave Mike alone' and "Beat It!!!!!

    I miss him so much.... and can't stop crying. This world needs more people like him. It is too sad that the fans and paparazzi drove him to death. I just hope that his children...
