Spreading online like wildfire

Us Weekly has obtained never-before-seen footage of Michael Jackson’s head catching on fire during filming of his 1984 Pepsi commercial.

The new video on the magazine’s Web site shows the moment Jackson’s hair caught on fire and the top of his head became engulfed in flames.

He keeps dancing as his hair burns. People on the set tackle him to extinguish the fire, and when he emerges, the top of his head is bald and red.

The accident, witnessed by thousands of stunned fans at the Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles, came at the height of Jackson’s fame, about a year after the release of his best-selling “Thriller” album.

It marked what would be the beginning of serious, lifelong pain for Jackson, who has been described by relatives and friends as being hooked on pain medication at the time of his death last month at age 50.
