The official autobiography of Michael Jackson, Moonwalk, is set to return to UK bookstores in a new paperback reissue on June 10, with the title also becoming available via Amazon.
Originally published in 1988, Moonwalk remains the only book Michael Jackson ever wrote about his own life. In it, he reflects on his journey from his early days in Gary, Indiana, through his rise with the Jackson 5, and into his transformation into the world’s biggest solo superstar.
The reissue brings the King of Pop’s own words back into circulation at a moment when global interest in his legacy is once again surging.
The timing is particularly notable following the massive success and renewed cultural conversation surrounding the recent biopic Michael. The film has reintroduced Michael Jackson’s story to a new generation, sparking fresh demand for both his music and related archival material. The return of Moonwalk to print in the UK appears to be part of that wider resurgence of interest.
In Moonwalk, Michael Jackson offers rare personal insight into his creative process behind iconic songs such as Billie Jean, Beat It, and Rock With You. He also discusses the development of his signature dance style, including the legendary moonwalk itself, as well as his collaborations with industry giants like Quincy Jones, Paul McCartney, and Diana Ross.
For longtime fans, the reissue is a chance to revisit a deeply personal account written at the height of his career. For newer audiences discovering Michael Jackson through recent media attention, it offers a direct look at his story in his own words.
With Moonwalk returning to shelves this June, it joins a growing wave of renewed releases and archival projects celebrating the enduring legacy of the King of Pop.
