Even if he could never be a “real” kid, says Michael, that he did not want to complain about it. In his autobiography, “Moonwalk,” he explains that his parents never escaped to sing or in this business. He loved to sing. Nothing made him more Fun than the music, the singing and dancing. Michael loved what he did, but there were also difficult moments, what he expressed in the above statements.
