US pop star Michael Jackson will be in London this week to make
a "special announcement", representatives said on Wednesday, and
industry sources said it is likely to involve a series of comeback
concerts in the city.
Outside Organisation, the music PR company which represents Jackson
in Britain, has sent an emailed invitation to a press conference at
the O2 arena in London, where the concerts are likely to take place
probably later this year.
Jackson and representatives from music promoter AEG Live are
expected to attend the Friday event.
The 50-year-old last appeared at the World Music Awards in London
in 2006, but the much-hyped return of one of the biggest pop acts
of all time was a critical flop after he sang only a few lines of
We Are The World.
The man behind Thriller, the best-selling album of all time, has
generally kept a low profile since his acquittal in 2005 of child
sex abuse charges.
He has recently been living in luxury rented accommodation in Los
Angeles after spending time in Las Vegas, Ireland and Dubai since
the trial.
Rumours and reports of record deals and live comebacks, as well as
numerous health problems, have been rife in recent years.
British bookmaker William Hill is already offering odds that
Jackson will not turn up for the run of concerts he is expected to
perform at the O2 arena.
Jackson's record label Sony did not have any immediate
comment.
