Michael Jackson is suffering from a rare lung condition and needs to undergo a transplant, a biographer of the King of Pop tells a London newspaper.
He may even be fighting for his life, author Ian Halperin tells In Touch magazine and Britain's Sunday Express newspaper. Halperin has just completed a biography of the singer.
He says Jackson has been diagnosed with Alpha 1-antitrypsin deficiency, an occasionally fatal genetic condition.
``He's had it for years, but it's gotten worse,'' Halperin told In Touch. ``He needs a lung transplant but may be too weak to go through with it. He also has emphysema and chronic gastrointestinal bleeding, which his doctors have had a lot of trouble stopping. It's the bleeding that is the most problematic part. It could kill him.''
According to Halperin, Jackson ``can barely speak'' and is having trouble seeing: ``The vision in his left eye is 95 percent gone.''
Jackson's spokesman was unavailable for comment Sunday, but the singer's brother Jermaine didn't deny the reports, telling Fox News, ``He's not doing so well right now. This isn't a good time.''

Yes Dean I am being contradicting... But he really did have a big heart at one time. I just see past his weirdness and hope he gets well soon. He used to hang out up here back when this place was a truck stop.
Hope he gets well.
He got food poisoning from an 11 year old wiener.

Just a cold thought, but if he does die how will they be able to tell?
It'd be hard to be "normal" living the life he did. Molesting children is not excusable though!
