OK Magazine Michael Jackson Cover Cost $500,000

OK Magazine cover a pricey publication

Some publications have chosen to use old, famous photos of Michael Jackson for their covers.

Reports are coming out that OK Magazine paid $500,000 for the photos of Michael Jackson that will appear in the magazine’s upcoming issue. That’s some pretty serious instant cash for the photographer who took them.

The OK Magazine Michael Jackson cover also bears the bold caption “Michael’s Tragic Death: Why He Didn’t Have to Die.” The OK Magazine cover also promises a “complete tribute inside,” including “Michael Jackson World Exclusive: The Last Photos.”

OK cover controversy

The upcoming OK Magazine Michael Jackson cover has caught people’s attention for a couple of reasons. The cover photo itself is drawing outrage from fans who say it’s upsetting and offensive. The OK Magazine cover shows a photo of Michael Jackson hooked up to a breathing tube.

Because of conflicting reports surrounding Jackson’s actual time of death, some are speculating that Michael Jackson might, in fact, be already deceased in the photo. The Examiner reports the photo ”depicts Michael either in his last moments or after he had died.” The magazine says it is the last photo of him before he died.

Capitalizing on death?

Some fans are so upset about the cover photo that they have started a petition to  prevent publication of any more copies of the magazine. The creators of the petition argue that the aim of OK is not to pay tribute to Michael Jackson but instead “it’s pure business.” ... click here to read the rest of the article titled "OK Magazine Michael Jackson Cover Cost $500,000"
