With all the good things happening for the world’s greatest entertainer, right now, him being a suspect in the fire at Neverland is the last thing any of his fans want to hear.
Did Michael Jackson set Neverland on Fire? FoxNew’s Roger Friedman & Journalist Diane Dimond will team to cover his arrest.
Unarguably, Michael Jackson has made the greatest comeback of any entertainer in history.
READ: PopMatter.com critic Mike Joseph on Thriller 25:
Twenty-five years after Thriller‘s original release, amidst everything that’s gone on in Michael Jackson’s crazy, insane, screwed up life, this album still makes people smile, the grooves still make people dance, and the videos still make people stop and stare in awe.

Most of all, instead of allowing the charge and the ugly people trying to disgrace him shame him into exclusion and turn him into a bitter and ugly person, the experience made the beautiful person he is genuine – even in the eyes of his critics.
While his millions of fans never abandoned him, the trial allowed the general public and a new generation to see Jackson’s face, style & character anew.

“With the release and already early success of Michael’s Thriller 25, interest in Neverland has never been higher,” celebrity realtor Peter Goldstein says. “It’s like it’s on fire.”
