Jermaine Jackson confirms book on Michael

Jermaine Jackson is writing a book about his brother Michael, it has been announced.

The musician is penning a set of memoirs titled You Are Not Alone, Michael: Through A Brother's Eyes. The book will chart The Jackson 5's rise to fame and Michael's life story, including the circumstances surrounding his death in 2009 aged 50.

He said: "We don't want Michael's life - or death - to be an eternal mystery. This is the truth as we know it.

"I have read so much about what people think they know about Michael, but this is about what really happened. I hope to make sense of the occasions when the outside world struggled to understand my brother's world."

The 56-year-old, who has previously slammed the press for its portrayal of his late sibling, explained that he hoped the book would show his brother in a new light.

"By sitting down and sharing memories, I hope his millions of fans will see him anew, and that those who have not been so kind will find room for more compassion," he added.

"Everyone has said it all about Michael and us. They cannot say anything more. Now it is our turn. We cannot bring our brother back but we can ensure his legacy is never forgotten in a book that commemorates his life - and says the things he never got the chance to say."

The book will be published this autumn by Harper Collins in the UK and Touchstone in the US.

Michael Feared For His Life

On 25th June, one year anniversary of Michael Jackson’s death, and his mother Katherine says he was fearful for his life in the months before his demise.

The late King of Pop’s mom explained, “He told me several times that he felt that people wanted him gone, wanted him dead.”

She continued, "He would always say that. For him to say that, he must have known something. Some of the mean, vicious people didn't want him around for some reason. They're greedy."

Katherine added that she saw Michael about a week before he passed away. "We had a really good time together. I wanted to remember him smiling and laughing and having a good time the last time I saw him.”
