Michael Jackson endorses Pepsi from beyond the grave
By Tribute on May 4, 2012 | 2 Comments
Pepsi is raising Michael Jackson from the dead. The soft drink company has reached a deal with The King of Pop’s estate that will feature him posthumously on one billion soda cans, set to hit shelves later this month. The promotion is set to coincide with the 25th anniversary of Jackson’s record-setting album Bad, which produced five No. 1 hit singles including “Man in the Mirror,” “Smooth Criminal,” “The Way You Make Me Feel” and the record’s title track. Jackson has a long history with the soda brand. In 1984 during a commercial shoot for the company, a pyro effect went wrong and set his scalp on fire, resulting in severe burns. It’s believed that this incident is what began his addiction to painkillers but the pop superstar agreed to work with the company two more times in 1988 and 1991. Jackson died in 2009 after being prescribed a lethal dose of sedatives. ~Kyle Sharp
