@lowpolyshorts: Why MJ Wore Wigs Michael Jackson was filming a Pepsi commercial in 1984 when a pyrotechnic effect malfunctioned and ignited earlier than planned. Multiple reports, including AJC and NBC Miami, confirm that the fireworks fired too soon while he was walking onstage, causing sparks to land directly on his head. Video evidence discussed by CBS News also shows the explosion happening prematurely. Jackson continued performing for several seconds without realizing his hair was burning. He later described how the effects went off on both sides of his head and how he did not immediately know he was on fire. Medical records cited by RadarOnline and other outlets show that he suffered a palm-sized area of second-degree burns and a smaller central region of deeper burns that left permanent damage to his scalp. Articles from Best Classic Bands and reports derived from his doctors state that the scarred area did not grow hair normally, and later attempts to repair it using scalp tissue expanders were painful and not fully successful. Because the burned patch never healed properly, multiple sources note that he relied on wigs for the rest of his life.

thats not what happened.... the trigger did come off soon but he spun and in a later interview he said he thought he could spin the fire off cuz at the time he was a fast spinner... he was fully aware of the fire on his head.
