JACKO lies flatto in mid-air in this amazing picture from his family’s private archive.

The King of Pop levitates several feet off the ground apparently unsupported with magician Doug Henning by his side.
The incredible snap, taken in 1984, appears in new book Never Can Say Goodbye: The Katherine Jackson Archives which is out now.

Michael Jackson fans can also get a taster of the photo – and other unseen images – in our brilliant 36-page colour magazine free with today’s News of the World. The tribute marks the first anniversary of the death of the pop superstar. The must-have magazine for fans and collectors also includes an interview with Jacko’s sister La Toya.

The star’s mum Katherine spent three months working on Never Can Say Goodbye with editor Sonia Lowe. Last night Katherine said: “Michael was often misunderstood This is a chance for the world to see the real Michael Jackson – my son. “I was the closest person to him in the world, and I wanted to tell the story about Michael the son – not the myth, pop star or entertainer.”

The 100 page glossy hardback features never seen before snaps of Jackson from his childhood to the height of his fame.
It features candid moments with his family and astonishing glimpses at his happiest times with star likes Paul McCartney, Sugar Ray Leonard and even Bubbles – his famous pet chimp.

Fans will also be able to learn about the superstar through a new social media platform – jacksonsecretvault.com – which features thousands of unseen images, persona letters and videos from MJ. Included in the vault of pictures are Jackson with ex Beatle Macca and sister La Toya at Neverland in 1982 and then dressed as a gangster at a Halloween party at Disneyland in the early 1980s.
