Michael Jackson 'Sued By Sheik'

1 month ago 18th Nov 06:58

Fallen pop superstar Michael Jackson is facing another financial woe - he is reportedly facing a lawsuit from a super-rich Arab sheik for backing out of a planned record deal.

The Bad hitmaker allegedly signed an exclusive deal with Prince Abdulla Al-Khalif to pen an autobiography, release two albums and help produce a musical of his life.

Al-Khalif alleges he gave the singer a $120,000 (#75,000) Rolls-Royce and paid for Jackson to maintain control of his Neverland Ranch in 2005 following his acquittal on child-molesting charges, according to Britain's The Sun newspaper.

The case is reportedly set to be heard at London's High Court.

The cost even included the expenses of bringing out Mr.

Jackson's hairdresser.

Jackson's beloved Neverland Rance was sold earlier this month (Nov08) in a joint venture with the pop star rename the property and revamp its image.

Meanwhile Michael Jackson's attorneys are desperately trying to keep the King of Pop out of a London court in a new dispute over an alleged business deal gone bad.

Sheikh Abdulla bin Hamad Al Khalifa of Bahrain claims he's owed a $7 million (Gbp4.6 million) advance on an album and autobiography deal that Jackson never produced.
