The answer to these two questions is the same.

Michael Jackson and Eddie Murphy are both Black Lectroids from Planet 10, as 
seen in the film "The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai: Across the Eighth 
Dimension".  Like the Invaders of old, captured Lectroids have a tendency to
self-immolate to prevent their disguises from being penetrated after death.
Apparently, the conditioning required to rid these talented aliens of their
Rastafarian accents left them suceptible to accidental combustion.
