Michael Jackson Gravely Ill - Needs Transplant


M.J. is gravely ill - NO not Michael Jordan, the other M.J. - Michael Jackson. Sources claim he is suffering from potentially fatal health issues. According to a new biography by Ian Halperin, Michael Jackson is reportedly in desperate need of an emergency transplant operation to save his life from a rare lung condition.
Michael suffers from a rare hereditary condition called Alpha-1 anitrypsin deficiency. He also suffers from emphysema and hastointestinal bleeding.
He’s had it for years, but it’s gotten worse,” Halperin told In Touch magazine. “He needs a lung transplant but may be too weak to go through with it … [But] it’s the [gastrointestinal] bleeding that is the most problematic part. It could kill him.”
Halperin also claims that the “Thriller” and “Bad” singer can barely speak and is 95-percent blind in his left eye.
Earlier this year, Jackson was photographed in a wheelchair. A few weeks ago, he was spotted receiving help walking, while wearing a Zorro style mask.
Just this month, Reuters reported that the gates of Michael Jackson's famed Neverland Ranch and one of the white gloves first unveiled in his 1983 "Billie Jean" video are going up for auction in a 2,000-item sale organized by the self-styled King of Pop.
And just last month, Michael Jackson and a son of the king of Bahrain signed an out-of-court settlement on Monday ending a legal dispute under which the prince sued the pop star saying he reneged on a recording contract and owed him $7 million after breaching a signed contract.
On the bright side, the world is celebrating the 25th Anniversary of Thriller .

Could it be that the 80's icon is ready to bow out!
