JACKSON PLANNING LONDON RESIDENCY?

Superstar MICHAEL JACKSON will follow in the footsteps of PRINCE and play a London residency next year (08), according to reports.

MICHAEL JACKSON

The Thriller hitmaker is rumoured to be in negotiations with promoters AEG Live to organise a series of concerts to help settle outstanding debts of $325 million (GBP162.5 million).

And Jackson is reportedly looking to emulate the Purple Rain singer's success when he played 21 dates at London's O2 Arena over the summer (07).

A source tells British newspaper the Daily Star, "The general consensus is that Jacko has the fan base to attract enough gig-goers from all over the world to make this a huge success.

"Booking the O2 up for more than a couple of nights might seem like a big gamble on his and his promoters' part, but just think of the history. People will flock to witness Jacko cover his back catalogue."

And the promoters have further fuelled speculation about the London dates.

AEG Europe's David Campbell says, "We have two big residencies booked for the fourth quarter of 2008."
