Michael Jackson's Friend & Former Manager Releases Interactive Digital Book Delivering Intimate Look at the Acclaimed Artist
Few would know the business and human side of the "King of Pop" Michael Jackson better than his confidant, friend, and former manager Dieter Wiesner. His new book "Michael Jackson: The Real Story" dives deep into Michael's visionary business plans and offers an intimate look at MJ's personal life.
LOS ANGELES, May 12, 2020 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- "You were with him for a long time. You need to tell the story! You need to tell the real story about my son!" Inspired by these words from Michael Jackson's mother, Katherine Jackson, former manager, confidant, and personal friend Dieter Wiesner's newly released book, "Michael Jackson: The Real Story," has taken up this brave challenge and does just that.
Influenced by a sense of obligation, Mr. Wiesner shares intimate information about Michael Jackson — the man he knew as a visionary business genius and loving father who cared about family and friends. A man who has been portrayed in ways to make headlines that are far removed from the real Michael — a man who inspired millions.
"Michael and I were very close. Information about Michael's visionary business genius has to be shared from someone who was there," commented Wiesner. "His memory, his legacy, and his dear family all deserve to know the truth from someone who was a trusted member of his inner circle."
The book's author, Dieter Wiesner was inseparable from Michael during the 80-concert, five continent HIStory world tour. When they drove to concerts, Dieter was in Michael's car. When they were at concerts, Dieter was backstage. After the show, Dieter was in the hotel room. While crisscrossing the world together, the two became very close, discussing everything from business to life and Wiesner was able to see what a special human being Michael was. After the tour, Dieter lived with Michael and his children for several years at the legendary Neverland Ranch.
What sets this publication apart from the large amount of other Michael Jackson narratives available, in both its content and delivery, are the primary source documents which include over fifteen voicemail messages, that at the click of a button, the enhanced ePub will allow readers to listen to Michael Jackson's voice as he leaves detailed messages about a variety of topics, including his top-secret plans and vision for the second phase of his life.
In one message Michael can be heard saying, "This is Michael Jackson calling. When you get this message call me immediately. What I want to talk to you about is very top-top secret! I need a German or a Swiss bank, I want to raise a billion dollars with a Swiss or German bank, but you got to keep this completely confidential! It's an incredible acquisition I want to make." Michael Jackson's desired business acquisitions and partnerships included Marvel Comics, Disney and Apple. Had Michael been able to execute his plan he would have been one of the wealthiest people in the world, certain to have an even bigger impact on popular culture and the world than he did.
In another voicemail message, Michael shares more details about his plans, "If I can promise them that Stan Lee will join us…He agreed that if we do this, he will come back again and create new characters… It would be Michael Jackson, Spiderman, and Stan Lee. We'll all stand there and announce the new Marvel 2000…We want to do the most cutting edge films, the most cutting edge visual effects, and just do amazing things…" The potential of a MJ/Marvel partnership would have been jaw-dropping.
In addition to insight into Mr. Jackson's business vision, Mr. Wiesner provides examples of Michael's longing to be a regular person.
In one story about Michael and Dieter sneaking out of Neverland Ranch Wiesner writes, "Our excursion brought him such delight, for once to be free from his isolation, escape from his cage of fame and glory…Michael was able to buy almost anything he desired but showed on that day how he could be satisfied by something so small — being able to sit for two hours in a quiet parking lot and eat a couple of dollars' worth of pizza and wings and drink a few cups of soda — far removed from time and space and detached from the creation he otherwise had become."
Readers of "Michael Jackson: The Real Story" will get to know Michael Jackson in a much deeper way — the Michael that few got to know and appreciate. "Michael Jackson: The Real Story" is currently available for on Apple Books for $29.95.
