The final days of Michael Jackson’s life will be documented in a TV series based on US TV personality and civil rights advocate Tavis Smiley’s upcoming novel.
The author’s book, ‘Before You Judge Me: The Triumph and Tragedy of Michael Jackson’s Last Days’, will not be released until June, 2016, but he has already inked a deal with bosses at Warner Bros to adapt the novel into a TV series.
In the tome, Mr. Smiley recounts the last 16 weeks in the life of the King of Pop, who died in June 2009, reported Deadline .
The bestselling author announced his book plans last year, revealing that in a ‘most interesting twist of fate’, he was preparing to hit the stage at an event in his native Indiana-Jackson’s childhood home, when he learned of the singer’s death.
Warner Bros executives are also planning to develop Smiley’s recent book, ‘My Journey with Maya’, into a TV series.
The memoir chronicles Jackson’s 30-year friendship with late poet Maya Angelou.
