His anorexia was shocking


I got a chance to see this documentary finally. I'm a critic of Michael Jackson and think he lived a crazy and foolish life. But goddamn, he had a crazy case of Anorexia. He was so thin when he turned side ways his disappeared! I've never seen a man that thin. What was wrong with him?

Yeah, I watched a little bit of "This is It".

His appearance , well, I'd call it disturbing.

Not a chance he could have done 50 shows. Considering how weak he looked, I'd be surprised if he made it thru 2.

Probably the main thing wrong with him (in addition to everything else) is he was fake sleeping. Meaning chemically induced sleep - in which case your bod doesn't get the true rest it needs.
