The Life of a Legend Is Not Always Perfect

During Michael's lifetime, Michael Jackson has had many accidents happen while filming music videos, but there is one in particular that injured Michael terribly.

However, the sixth take went horribly wrong. The pyrotechnics went off too early, and lit Michael's hair on fire. Michael suffered second and third degree burns on his face and scalp.
