ABC has released a trailer for the just-announced The Last Days of Michael Jackson, a documentary report about the late pop superstar’s career and untimely demise. The two-hour special will begin from Jackson’s early days with the Jackson 5, but as the title suggests, it will also delve into the singer’s troubled final weeks and the mounting concern behind the scenes as he struggled to prepare for This Is It, the farewell tour he didn’t live to perform.
The doc features previously unaired footage from interviews Jackson gave with ABC anchors Barbara Walters and Diane Sawyer. “The star needs some space. Give him a chance to relax,” Jackson says in the trailer’s opening.
