When Michael Jackson’s hair caught fire during the Pepsi Commercial, it was a defining moment for him. Usmagazine has the video which is "The harrowing, never-before-seen footage of the singer’s 1984 Pepsi commercial accident."
Jackson suffered a setback on January 27, 1984, causing repercussions for the rest of his life. While filming a Pepsi Cola commercial at the Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles, he suffered second degree burns to his scalp after pyrotechnics accidentally set his hair on fire.
Happening in front of a full house of fans during a simulated concert, the incident elicited an outpouring of sympathy. Jackson had his third rhinoplasty shortly afterwards,[16] and began treatment to hide the scars on his scalp. It was during this period, friends say, that he began using the painkillers to which he later became addicted.
