'Real' Michael Jackson To Be Exposed In New Uri Geller Documentary

Fans of Michael Jackson are to be given a rare glimpse into the late singer's world in a new documentary.

The hour-long TV special features footage taken from the private archive of Jackson's former friend Uri Geller.

My Friend Michael Jackson: Uri's Story includes scenes of Jackson's infamous shopping spree at Harrods department store in London.

It also shows the singer in his role as best man at Geller's wedding and the pair's trip to Exety City football club.

"This is the real Michael Jackson, the way that just a handful of friends were privileged to see him - relaxed, witty, loving, smart, sincere and genuine,” Geller told the Press Association.

"This film gives audiences around the world the opportunity to experience the reality of life with Michael."

He added: "I'm thrilled that we were able to record this footage, because it focuses on one of those very rare crossovers when entertainment becomes history, of great importance to hundreds of millions of people."

The documentary is set to air on ITV1.

Jackson died on June 25 of a suspected cardiac arrest. He was 50.
