A high-profile pop singer known as ‘Thailand’s Michael Jackson’ has been jailed for two years for killing two people while driving intoxicated.
Manasawin Nantasen, known as Tik Shiro, rose to fame in the late 1980s and 1990s for his fedora hat and moonwalk-inspired dance moves, earning comparisons to Michael Jackson.
The 64-year-old singer was driving his vehicle across a bridge in Bangkok in October 2024 when he hit a stationary motorbike. He killed a 28-year-old woman and knocked her brother, 21, off the bridge. The latter died in hospital from his injuries.
