The King of Pop is gone. Michael Jackson, one of the world’s biggest superstars and one of the greatest entertainers of all time, is dead.

He was due to wow crowds with his spectacular “This Is It” mega concert at London’s O2 Arena and had he done so his comeback would have been complete. That’s because Jackson’s achievements almost came crashing down during a child molestation trial.

Wienerworld releases the 76-minute film Michael Jackson – The Trial and Triumph of The King of Pop, looking at the case on the 6 July.

“Due to his sad and untimely passing, this film is perhaps even more moving and poignant as it shows that his fans from all over the world were constantly loyal, always believed in his innocence and never gave up hope that he would emerge victorious,” a Wienerworld spokeswoman said.

The film features Kayne West, Billy Gibbons of ZZ Top, Jon Voight, Fantasia, Mo’Nique, Ashford & Simpson, Kim Whitley, Dorien Wilson, Yolanda Adams, Shemar Moore, Terry Lewis, Tom Mesereau, Aphrodite Jones, Linda Deutsch, Jermaine Jackson and Geraldine Hughes.

Five of Jackson's solo albums – Off the Wall, Thriller, Bad, Dangerous and HIStory – are among the top-sellers of all time. During his extraordinary career, he sold an estimated 750 million records worldwide, released 13 number 1 singles and became one of a handful of artists to be inducted twice into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. The Guinness Book of World Records recognized Thriller as the Biggest Selling Album of All Time.
