Jacko denies skin cancer report

New York, May 17 (ANI): Michael Jackson’s spokesman has dismissed reports claiming that the singer has skin cancer, insisting he is in “the best of health.”

“He is great,” Dr. Tohme Tohme told the New York Daily News.

“He’s in perfect health … he doesn’t have any diseases whatsoever,” Tohme added.

On Saturday, Britain’s Sun newspaper had reported that the “Beat It” singer has cancerous spots on his body and pre-cancerous cells on his face.

It further claimed that Jackson was diagnosed last month and has been told the condition is treatable.

Blasting the claims, Tohme said the report was just “not true.”

“He is in the best of health,” he added.

Jackson still plans to go ahead with a series of sell-out comeback concerts in London in July, sources told the Sun.

“He was at first very concerned, but says he has been assured by the doctors that they can treat this and he will recover,” an insider was quoted as saying.

“He said he’s insisted that any treatment must fit around the concerts, and the show will go on,” the source added. (ANI)

Sale of Jacko’s Neverland ranch in negotiations

Washington, March 17 (ANI): Pop star Michael Jackson’s Neverland Ranch is about to be sold, if reports are to be believed.

Sources have revealed that there is a buyer who has shown interest in purchasing the property.

It may be recalled that Jackson and Colony Capital became partners in the ranch last fall, after the latter put a 23.5million-dollar note on the property.

The name of the ranch was changed to Sycamore Valley, Jackson got several million dollars in refinancing, and the Colony added its name to the lease.

Sources now say that the interested buyer may end Jackson’s 21-year ownership of the fabled property by purchasing it, reports Fox News.

They say that if the negotiations between the parties materialise, the deal will pay back Colony in full, and still send several million dollars Jackson’s way.

The only hitch in the deal is that the prospective buyer, unaware that Jackson’s aide Tohme Tohme had arranged for this April’s memorabilia auction, wanted the house to full of its original tchotckes.

Now, all parties are said to be getting ready to meet and discuss the future of the auction, which is set for April 21-25. (ANI)
