Footage of Michael Jackson's 1984 fire accident revealed

US weekly posted this video of Michael Jackson while he was filming the 1984 Pepsi commercial. The video includes out-takes of the fire mishap which is believed to be the starting point of the late singer's dependency on the painkillers that were found in his system when he died three weeks ago, aged 50.

In the video, Jackson was initially unaware of the flames surrounding his head and continued his trademark dancing for around five seconds before aides rushed on stage to extinguish the flames. The Telegraph newspaper reported that "Jackson was later photographed in an ambulance with a bandage on his head and his trademark sequinned white glove on his right hand. He required several surgeries and needed skin grafts to treat the injury." YouTube video rip below.
