Michael Jackson has reached a settlement with his former friend Prince Abdullah of Bahrain, who was suing him in a London Court over a music deal gone bad, according to Reuters.

The second son of the King of Bahrain, Sheikh Abdulla bin Hamad Al Khalifa, demanded that the King of Pop returns the $7 million the prince claims he advanced him in exchange for two albums, a musical, and an autobiography.

The terms of the settlement, which according to Yahoo News! was struck just hours before Jackson was set to testify in London’s High Court, have not yet been announced.

Former Blink-182 drummer Travis Barker is suing the maker of the plane (Bombardier Inc.), the company that rented him the plane (Clay Lacy Aviation) and the maker of the tires (Goodyear Tire and Rubber) in connection with the plane crash on Sept. 19 that killed four people and severely injured him and his friend Adam “DJ AM” Goldstein (Nicole Richie’s ex), MTV.com reports.

The lawsuit, which Travis has filed together with the mother of Travis’ bodyguard who died in the crash, alleges that the plane was defective. “Its landing gear, tires, wheels, brakes, reverse-thrust system, squat switches and component parts were not airworthy,” the lawsuit states according to TMZ.com

The suit also alleges that the pilot’s decision about the takeoff also was a factor in causing the crash.

Michael Jackson is being sued by his former friend Prince Abdullah of Bahrain.

The second son of the King of Bahrain, Sheikh Abdulla bin Hamad Al Khalifa, is demanding the repayment of several advances which the King of Pop argues were gifts, the Press Association reports.

According to the prince’s lawyer, the prince wants Jackson to return $7 million he claims he advanced him in exchange for two albums, a musical, and an autobiography.

The case is being tried in London’s High Court right now, but Jackson won’t go to London to testify in the trail. According to Jackson’s attorney, the singer is too ill to travel – a fact both the prince and his attorney seem to doubt.

“It’s not the first time a sick note has been presented by Mr Jackson,” the prince’s attorney is quoted as saying by The Sidney Morning Herald.
