Michael concludes in 1988, as Jackson embarks on his solo tour for Bad before the credits begin to roll, leaving room to dive deeper into the album, which produced singles like I Just Can't Stop Loving You, Man in the Mirror, Dirty Diana and The Way You Make Me Feel.
It has been reported that much of the initial third act of Michael was "devoted to the scandal", but this was scrapped after attorneys for the Jackson estate discovered there was a clause in a settlement with one of the accusers, Jordan Chandler, that prevented any depiction or mention of him in any movie. This led to a new ending being filmed.
In 2005, Jackson was tried and acquitted for further allegations and charges.
