Michael Jackson too sick to travel for lawsuit? Pop star's lawyer wants him to testify via video
Michael Jackson's lawyer has claimed that the pop star is too sick to travel from the US to London to testify in a lawsuit in which it is alleged he owes $7 million to an Arab sheik.
Jackson's lawyer, Robert Englehart, is attempting arrange for him to testify via video link from the US.
"It would be unwise for him to travel, given what's he's got now," Englehart said. He would not specify what is ailing the singer.
As previously reported the King Of Bahrain's son, Sheikh Abdulla Bin Hamad Bin Isa Al-Khalifa, claims he loaned Jackson money and built him a recording studio as an advance for two albums, a stage show and an autobiography.
Now the sheikh is suing Jackson for $7 million for failing to fulfill the alleged music contract, which would have paid off the loans.
A lawyer for the sheikh said the medical evidence presented by Jackson's legal team was unsatisfactory, reports the Associated Press.
The judge in the case said he would decide by Thursday (November 20) whether or not Jackson will be required to travel to testify after the hearing opinions of medical experts.

$350K to Get Michael Jackson’s Juices Flowing
Following the drubbing Michael Jackson got from American media following his child molestation trial and subsequent acquittal, the prince of Bahrain allegedly shelled out $350,000 to get the singer's creative juices flowing to record his long awaited new album, the New York Daily News reported.
One problem -- the album never happened.
"Mind-mapping and motivational guru" Tony Buzan spent a week in Bahrain with the king of pop, who moved to the Middle Eastern island to live with the prince (Sheikh Abdulla bin Hamad al-Khalifa) after his trial. Jackson allegedly spent time recording material for a new album at the prince’s palace, but is now being sued by the prince for $7 million for breach of contract.
Buzan "did not come cheap,"the prince’s lawyer Bankim Thanki said in court Tuesday. Buzan charged $37,000 a session for a total of $343,000.
The 33-year-old prince alleges that Jackson took several million dollars in cash advances from him but failed to deliver on several contractual obligations, including an album, an autobiography and a proposed musical project.
Jackson spent a little less than a year in Bahrain following his 2005 trail and subsequent acquittal. He left the country in May, 2006 and has never returned,
