The mag makes use of the Daily Mirror’s extensive photographic archive to create what it calls a “comprehensive picture tribute” to the troubled singer.
Hanrahan said “Our team reacted quickly and worked extremely hard to turn around this special magazine in a very short space of time. We feel the end product is a fitting tribute to one of the world’s greatest entertainers.”
Following the announcement of Jackson’s death on Thursday night, the editor of NatMag-owned celeb weekly Reveal Michael Butcher and the rest of his team also swung into action to produce a one-off glossy photo-led magazine. Theirs was called: “Michael Jackson – Tribute to a Legend”.
