Roc Marciano / The Alchemist: The Elephant Man’s Bones
Rumor has it that, in 1987, Michael Jackson made a bid to buy the skeleton of Englishman Joseph Merrick. Merrick, known as the Elephant Man due to his severe physical deformities, spent his life as an object of ridicule and medical fascination before passing away in 1890 at age 27.

I am not an animal. I am a human being! I…am…a…man!” Over time, Jackson became fascinated by M...
