Michael Jackson's addiction to pain killers has been linked to the accident that occurred on January 27, 1984 at Shrine Auditorium in L.A..
The $1.5 million commercial used extreme pyrotechnics and the accident occurred during the sixth take.
Tragically Michael didn't realize his hair had caught fire and continued to dance till horrified onlookers jumped to his rescue.
