Michael Jackson and Prince of Bahrain settled lawsuit 'amicably,' say lawyers

LONDON - It's all "amicable" between
Michael Jackson and the sheikh who sued him, lawyers said Monday.
Jackson and
Sheikh Abdulla bin Hamad Al-Khalifa have "amicably settled" their legal dispute, the sheikh's lawyer,
Philip Croall, told reporters at High Court Monday.
"They wish each other well in their own respective endeavors."
Jackson had been expected to fly to London to testify Monday in the sheikh's $7 million breach-of-contract, but the two sides reached an agreement over the weekend. No details were released.
Jackson's New York lawyer, Londell McMillan, took the opportunity to trash a British press report that Jackson has become a Muslim. "That's rubbish. It's completely untrue," McMillan told reporters.
Sheikh Abdulla, the second son of the king of
Bahrain, was not in court today.
He befriended Jackson while the singer was facing child-molestation charges in 2005 and paid for Jackson and his entourage to come to Bahrain after Jackson was acquitted.
The sheikh, an aspiring songwriter who formed a company called 2 Seas Records, accused Jackson of reneging on a deal to produce an album, an autobiography and a musical for the label. He was seeking payback for the $7 million he says he spent on the singer and the recording project.
