Jacko's off his food
|
There are more concerns for Michael Jackson this morning as insiders reveal that the 50-year-old King of Pop is so afraid of piling on the pounds his weight has plummeted to below a shocking nine stones.
“Michael has a phobia about getting fat,” said a source close to the star. “He doesn’t want to put on any weight at all. It’s not healthy for him because he weighs less than nine stone now. But he is insistent that he’ll only eat once a day and is adamant that’s enough food for him. He’s very thin and frail.”
Jacko is counting his calories in a bid to combat the skin cancer he was diagnosed with last month. The singer has already had a series of painful biopsies on his nose, arm and chest to remove potentially lethal growths at a cancer clinic in Beverly Hills.
Fans fear that the King of Pop may not be able to go ahead with his planned 50 gigs at the O2 in London later in the year. The ailing singer has already cancelled four shows, and claims that he only signed up for 10 performances in the first place. "I went to bed knowing I sold 10 dates, and woke up to the news I was booked to do 50,” whined Jacko.
"I don't know how I'm going to do 50 shows,” he continued. “I'm not a big eater - I need to put some weight on." Hmmm… try eating once in a while, Michael?
