MUMBAI: Ian Halperin, author of the 2009 New York Times Best Selling book Unmasked: The Final Years Of Michael Jackson, released Gone to Soon, a documentary believed to be the most groundbreaking unofficial documentary ever made on Michael Jackson 

Ian Halperin is a Canadian investigative journalist and writer from Montreal, Quebec.

In Gone to Soon, Halperin infiltrates Jackson's camp and shoots over 300 hours of unprecedented and never before seen or released video footage and audio clips of Michael Jackson and the star's most reliable friends and employees both before and after the star's death.

Halperin, who predicted Michael Jackson's death six months before he died, spent over five years researching Jackson, during which he discovered a remarkable, yet unknown story that sheds new insights and observations on the last few years of Jackson's life and provides for the first time ever a vivid, behind-the-scenes account of what really happened.

While the full-length feature documentary can be streamed online on http://www.gonetoosoon.tv, the feature is not yet open for Indian audience.

Prior to this, Ian has authored books on music personalities including Celine Dion: Behind the Fairytale and Fire and Rain: The James Taylor Story and Hollywood Undercover. He coauthored Who Killed Kurt Cobain? and Love and Death: The Murder of Kurt Cobain with Max Wallace.

Halperin has contributed to 60 Minutes II and is a regular correspondent for Court TV.
