Don't forget disfiguring Michael Jackson in a pyrotechnic accident while filming a commercial, leading directly to his drug issues and two decades of publically-acceptable body-shaming about his nose and other issues: https://www.telegraph.co.uk/music/artists/pepsi-nearly-kille...

"Jackson underwent a series of surgeries to fix his burns. The hair on his head reportedly never grew back, forcing him to wear a wig. The accident has been pinpointed as the start of a string of plastic surgeries that would come to define Jackson’s life and image, the medication he took to ease the pain becoming a life-long crutch."

That's really interesting. I had never heard of that before.

The fact that you’d never heard of that shows the power of good PR firms.

More likely it shows the fact that I was born in the late 1980s and Michael Jackson had fallen mostly out of favor by the time I had any wherewithal about pop stars.
