Michael Jackson Denies Blind Eye

Michael Jackson’s representative has denied the singer is suffering from a
potentially deadly genetic disease, insisting he is in “fine health”.

The 50-year-old singer’s spokesman Dr. Tohme Tohme has dismissed claims made
by biographer Ian Halperin that the ‘Thriller’ star is close to death
because he is battling inherited condition A1AD (alpha-1 antitrypsin
deficiency) which leaves sufferers without a protein needed to protect the
lungs.

Tohme insists Michael is in such good health he is even planning a world
tour and several TV appearances for 2009.

The representative said: “The wild allegations concerning Mr. Jackson’s
health are a total fabrication. Concerning this author's allegations, we
would hope in the future that legitimate media will not continue to be
exploited by such an obvious attempt to promote this unauthorized
‘biography'.

"Mr. Jackson is in fine health, and finalizing negotiations with a major
entertainment company and television network for both a world tour and a
series of specials and appearances.”

Meanwhile, it has been claimed Michael is renting a $38 million Los Angeles
mansion for $100,000-a-month, and will soon move into the property in the
exclusive Holmby Hills area.

The mansion boasts seven bedroom, 13 bathrooms, a screening room, a cellar,
a guest house, swimming pool, garden and a staggering 12 fireplaces.

Michael reportedly agreed the deal “several weeks ago”, insisting on a
confidentiality agreement from his estate agents.
