Michael Jackson’s celebrity status followed him everywhere he went, even after he suffered serious burns to his scalp, while filming a Pepsi commercial on January 27, 1984.
“I remember enjoying the ride to the hospital because I never thought I’d ride in an ambulance with the sirens wailing,” Michael Jackson said. “It was one of those things I had always wanted to do when I was growing up. When we got there, they told me there were news crews outside, so I asked for my glove. There’s a famous shot of me waving from the stretcher with my glove on.”
