Britain’s Daily Express reports that Jackson, 50, planned to visit the UK in May to find a place to live while doing his comeback shows at London’s O2 Arena, but he has now delayed his trip amid fears of catching the potentially deadly influenza.
One source tells the newspaper: “Michael wanted to come over for viewings in the next few weeks because he wants to make sure the property is just right – after all he will be renting it from now until February next year. But that is off for the time being… Michael doesn’t want to travel because of the worry surrounding the flu outbreak. He’s very particular about not catching germs anyway but he’s particularly wary of what’s going on right now”.
The source also claims that Jackson has got the best protective masks on the market and that he is using hand-sanitizer gels.
