20/20 Special: My friend Michael Jackson | 20 20 News
ReutersMichael Jackson
Right from the beginning Michael Jackson's rollercoaster existence captivated the world.
He was a musical genius. But he lived a life of extremes. More often than not it was his extravagant and controversial lifestyle that took centre stage. Accusations of child abuse and a spectacular and bruising criminal trial badly tarnished his image.
Whatever your opinion of the scandal, he remained an icon. And there by his side, in the good times and bad, was psychic Uri Geller.
Geller found fame bending spoons. But he was also the keeper of Michael Jackson's secrets. For the first time he opens his vault of home videos and gives us a rare and personal insight into Michael Jackson's private world.
