Michael Jackson is to give evidence at the High Court in England next week over allegations that he owes an Arab sheikh $7million.

He is expected to arrive in te UK over the weekend to give his evidence on Monday afternoon.

The case involves Sheikh Abdulla bin Hamad Al Khalifa, second son of the King of Bahrain, who is suing Jackson to get back what he says he spent on the star.

Bankim Thanki QC, representing the sheikh, told Mr Justice Sweeney that Jackson signed a contract for recording albums, writing an autobiography and staging shows in which it had been agreed that $7million would be deducted from Jackson’s agreed royalties to pay for the expenses.

Jacko has been trying to get out of the court appearance by saying that he’s too ill to attend. Today his lawyer is withdrawing an application for Jackson to give his evidence via video link from Los Angeles because apparently, Wacko has been cleared by his medical advisers to travel in two days’ time.

LOL

The crappy excuse didn’t work.
