Michael Jackson Memoir Set For Re-Release With Mystery Celebrity Contribution

Michael Jackson's memoirs are to be re-released following the star's sudden death last month.

The re-issued edition of Moonwalk, which was first published in 1988, will include an introduction from a mystery celebrity.

Publisher Harmony Books have yet to unveil the identity of the celebrity, but told the Press Association it was "a well-known figure” who was “close to Michael".

An initial print run of 100,000 copies are expected to arrive in shops this October.

Moonwalk, which was written by Jackson himself, saw the star detail his alleged beatings at the hands of his father, Joseph.

The singer described his father as "real strict" and "something of a mystery" in the autobiography.

The book reached number one on the New York Times Best Seller list upon its release in 1988.
