The Last Days of Michael Jackson is a two-hour television special that premiered on ABC on May 24, 2018.
[1] The special is dedicated to Michael Jackson's life and legacy and is chronicling everything from his childhood to the comeback concerts, This Is It, that he never got to perform.
It will also feature never-before-seen interviews he did with Barbara Walters and Diane Sawyer, as well as conversations with his friends and family.
[5] The documentary received negative reviews from fans and critics alike for the many inaccuracies, while it interviewed paparazzi, tabloid reporters and people who never met Jackson, which made the special feel more like an opinion piece then a factual documentary about his life.
[6] The Estate of Michael Jackson have filed a federal copyright infringement lawsuit against the Walt Disney Company and ABC TV, alleging the companies used dozens of copyrights without permission when the TV network aired the two-hour special.
