A previously unreleased video of Michael Jackson's hair catching fire while filming a Pepsi commercial in 1984 was posted online by Us magazine on Wednesday.

Jackson suffered second- and third-degree burns on his scalp and body after a pyrotechnics exploded too early during a take.

The accident is blamed by the magazine in an upcoming issue for leading the entertainer to prescription pain medications.

Us magazine did not say how the video was obtained.
