The exhibition hopes to explore the ‘untold story’ of the ‘King of Pop’. The show will include the likes of artists like Andy Warhol and David LaChapelle, but mainly the focus will be on Michael. For he has been “one of the most influential figures in art of the last half century.”

Mr Jackson has been popluar for turning music into art form and for introducing (robot and moonwalk) popular dance moves.
“It is rare that there is something new to say about someone so famous, but here that is the case,” said curator Dr Nicholas Cullinan (running the London gallery).
