BLACK EYED PEAS star WILL.I.AM was stunned when MICHAEL JACKSON knocked on his door - because he idolised the pop star while growing up in a poor area of Los Angeles.
The rapper opened his home to Jackson to produce a remix of P.Y.T. (Pretty Young Thing) for the King of Pop's 25th anniversary album - but never fathomed he would entertain the superstar in his own house.
He says, "We recorded in Ireland then after that we mixed it at my house. You don't expect Michael Jackson to come to your house.
"I'm from the projects in East L.A., and growing up in East L.A. you never would imagine (that). As a little kid, you're like, 'Michael Jackson! I can do the moon walk!' You never expect when you get old, Michael Jackson comes to your house."
