"Thousands of Michael Jackson fans descended on Berlin on Friday for the premiere of a new biopic about the 'King of Pop', undeterred by child sex abuse allegations that continue to haunt the star."
"'Michael', in which the singer is portrayed by his nephew Jaafar Jackson, is expected to be one of the highest-grossing films of its kind in history."
"Jackson, who died aged 50 in 2009 from an overdose of propofol, faced multiple allegations of child sex abuse during his lifetime."
"'Michael' was originally intended to explore the impact of the allegations on the star, according to industry magazine Variety, citing unnamed sources 'with knowledge of the production'."
The premiere of the biopic 'Michael' in Berlin attracted thousands of fans, showcasing the enduring popularity of Michael Jackson despite child abuse allegations. The film features Jaafar Jackson portraying his uncle and is anticipated to be a major box office success. Only 4,000 fans were able to attend the screening, with others participating in themed activities over the weekend. Although Jackson faced multiple allegations during his life and after his death, he was never convicted. The film's content was altered due to legal restrictions regarding the allegations.
