Michael Jackson
the pepsi scandal
Michael, along with his brothers from the Jackson 5, were filming a Pepsi commercial at the Shrine Auditorium in LA on January 27, 1984. While filming a part of the commercial that included a simulated concert, pyrotechnics accidentally set his hair on fire, causing second and third-degree burns to his scalp. Jackson underwent treatment to hide the scars on his scalp, and had his third nose job shortly after. Pepsi settled out of court, and Jackson donated his $1.5 million settlement to the Brotman Medical Center in Culver City, California. Michael was 25 at the time of the incident.
