LIFE's Michael Jackson commemorative edition

The superstar was photographed by LIFE during his days with the Jackson 5, and later during his time at Neverland, creating images unlike the pics of the King of Pop taken by paparazzi who followed him everywhere.

LIFE Michael: 1958-2009 will be available on newsstands Friday, July 10.
