It’s September 24th 1966 and as Jimmy James fastens his seatbelt on the New York runway, he’s full of excitement and hope. Next to him is Chas Chandler, the bass player of British band The Animals who only days earlier had spotted him playing in a club in Greenwich Village. By the time the plane touches down In London Jimmy James had reverted to his original surname, Jimi Hendrix. But Jimi has no idea that the other man he was travelling with, a mysterious suited man wearing dark glasses, would become embroiled in Jimi’s mysterious death four years later. Fifty years on, Jimi Hendrix not only remains top box office, the cause of Jimi’s death still remains an open verdict. While many stories continue to surround his death the open verdict does not rule out murder, neither does it rule out suicide: this film reveals the secret history of Jimi’s manager and British spy Mike Jeffery and explores why he was the prime suspect the cause of Jimi Hendrix’s death. Yet, Jimi Hendrix: A Perfect Murder? with first-hand testimony and evidence, reveals another more likely candidate for the cause of the death of one of the world’s greatest rock stars.

Black or white? Man or Child? Extrovert or Introvert? Gay or straight? Michael Jackson is a man who leaves so many questions unanswered; his baffling choice of decisions from relationships, marriages, children, spending and drug dependency. So who was this man, and why did he operate in such strange ways with such bizarre consequences? His story is one of the great riddles of popular culture. In this programme psychiatrist Dr Bob Johnson, will unpick a childhood of abuse, being one of many children, incredible early superstardom, untold riches, accusation and exile, to stitch together the man behind the mask of plastic surgery, misinformation and mystery. What led this man to behave the way he did with children and did he realise how that would lead to his own self-destruction? Did his childhood (and adulthood) as a global star where boundaries never existed, make him believe he was untouchable, or delude him that his own moral compass was in fact right? How did his experiences of childhood shape his own disturbed reality? We go inside the complex and controversial mind of Michael Jackson.

Theatrical yet shy, excessive yet humble, exalted yet doomed – there has never been a frontman like Freddie Mercury; his hedonistic lifestyle captivated the press whilst his creative genius saw him top the charts with hit record after hit record. But hiding behind his carefully crafted public persona was a tumultuous inner life that few got to see. Now, in this fascinating program, acclaimed psychiatrist Dr Bob Johnson, combined with contributions from those who knew Freddie Mercury the best, will try to uncover the disparity between what people think they know about Freddie and who he really was. Secretive to the very end, we will build a psychological picture of the man who started life as Farrokh Bulsara, but ended it as Freddie Mercury.

Prince oozed charisma and was rightly hailed as a musical genius. Often, it is the depth and pain in Prince’s music that makes it truly great. His best-loved songs reveal the turmoil and sadness behind his dazzling public persona, the real Prince behind the image. Offstage Prince could not escape his loneliness, fear and self-blame. After the years of dancing and touring took their toll, Prince was left with only himself, looking into the mirror, and no one there to help him. Prince’s whole life was one long cry for help, and nobody was really listening. When his demons finally caught up with him Prince died alone, to the dismay and guilt of the friends and colleagues he pushed away over the years.
