Sky’s Michael Jackson specials to beam in November

MUMBAI: Sky1 has commissioned a two-part special on the late Michael Jackson.

Presented by June Sarpong, the hour-long specials – Michael Jackson: The Live Séance and Michael Jackson: The Search for His Spirit – will go on air in November.

Michael Jackson: The Search for His Spirit delves into both Jackson‘s psyche and inspirations. Sarpong will be joined by psychic Bobby Marchesso and close friends of Jackson, including Ian Halperin, author of the Michael Jackson biography Unmasked: The Final Years of Michael Jackson, Thriller video co-star Ola Ray and spiritual healer Reverend June Gatlin.

Michael Jackson: The Live Séance will attempt to contact the music legend from a secret location familiar to and previously inhabited by Jackson. Said, Sky1 HD, Sky1, Sky2 and Sky 3 director of programmes Stuart Murphy, “There is an insatiable appetite to find out more about Michael Jackson. These programmes will explore whether it is possible to make contact with Michael and will seek to give his fans new insight into their idol. He was an extraordinary figure and the curiosity surrounding his life-and his death-stretches well beyond fans of his music.”

The specials will air on Sky1 HD and Sky1.
