His studio albums, Bad and Thriller, have also burst into the top 200, according to the Evening Standard. Leaving Neverland details allegations of child sex abuse made against Michael by Wade Robson and James Safechuck.The documentary interviews the two men and their families and goes into graphic detail about their claims, which left viewers feeling ‘disturbed and uncomfortable’.
