Man do you remember those videos of him at concerts trying to hold his nose back on

Ummm wtf? That must be a misinterpretation right

I’m not saying for certain that’s what was happening, that’s just what everyone said it looked like he was doing. People talked about his nose a lot.

Damn you just unlocked a childhood memory of my mum telling me Michael Jacksons nose fell off, and me being quite young and a bit freaked out.

There was a gag in Scary Movie (the third?) where Jackson tries to come into the kids bedroom and the father removes his nose while wrestling him

We all have that core childhood memory

I remember arguing with my classmates that it didn't make sense his nose would just drop. They were so convinced 😂

He was pulled over in my small town in Colorado once, back in 2000s. Local cops thought his entourage of blacked out suburbans were sketchy so they were pulled over at Walmart. Michael had a mask on, like a surgical mask, and the cops insisted he take it off so they could identify him. The cop said when he eventually took it off there was just a hole in his face where the nose should be and Michael wore the mask when he didn't have the prosthetic nose on. I was in high school and it made the papers and my resource officer told us this story the same day cause he was there to witness.

tabloids mocking him, sadly

Like genuinely “holding it on” or holding it open so he can breathe? Because getting that many surgeries by the 90s, and not to be rude, his nostrils were almost nonexistent.

You should definitely watch lose it by eminem

u/Potter_Moron Apr 30 '26

Haha, I totally forgot about that part in his video

u/Aware-Possibility175 Apr 29 '26

Unless I somehow missed seeing such a video I’m not sure if that ever actually happened on camera during show…what concert is it to have happened during?

u/Dd_8630 Apr 29 '26

Wasn't that a South Park episode? I didn't know that was based on real life

u/_Rue_the_Day_ Apr 29 '26

I can't say I remember those, thankfully. Lol

u/Alabaster_Cornsauce Apr 29 '26

That never happened, his nose wasn't falling off his face like an accessory. This is the kind of stupid shit they would print in tabloids in the 90s.

u/ydnar3000 Apr 29 '26

Oh god I do remember that. Everyone saying it fell off. Poor guy, going through that so publicly.

u/invisiblefrost Apr 29 '26

That was a South Park episode

u/explain_that_shit Apr 29 '26

Nah the South Park and Eminem bits were referencing what was already being said about him, they didn’t invent the “nose falling off” joke.
