People weren't lining up to watch Michael Jackson when he was pale white, missing a nose, almost dropping his kid off a balcony, plus the sexual accusations. He was a cautionary tale at that point.
His music got a boost after he died. Now that he's dead people like to gloss over the final decade of his life. But they weren't ignoring it when he was alive.
He was about to embarc on a massive tour at the time. People were positively gushing over him even after they knew what he did.
