Former pop idol Michael Jackson is fighting for his life and will die if he does not receive a lung transplant, his biographer has told US gossip magazine In Touch.

Author Ian Halperin said that Jackson, 50, is suffering from the rare genetic illness, Alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency, as well as emphysema and gastrointestinal bleeding. Halperin also claimed that the singer can barely speak and is 95-percent blind in his left eye.

"He's had it for years, but it's gotten worse," Halperin told In Touch magazine. "He needs a lung transplant but may be too weak to go through with it...[But] it's the [gastrointestinal] bleeding that is the most problematic part. It could kill him."

He just became a Muslim. Better “reconvert” before it’s too late.

I'm sorry but I find it difficult to gin up much sympathy. Not very holiday charitable but,...

[RummyChick]

barely speak? wasn’t he trying to do some las vegas deal?

he had a lot of promise and ended up a joke...

sad way to go out

[mkjessup]

C’mon Michael, I know you can beat it.

[ari-freedom]

and there goes the last part of his body that he was born with...

[johniegrad]

Sick. But funny.

[woofie]

I believe this story has been refuted

[krb]

He's had it for years

I wonder how how many deals he defaulted on by not disclosing this earlier.

[TonyStark]

Well then, good thing he acquired and pissed away hundreds, maybe thousands of times what the average 50 year old earns in his lifetime. He's lead a full life. Time to put Ol' Yeller here out of his, and everyone's, misery.

Hehehe.....snicker, snicker...lol

[Recovering Ex-hippie]

I put most of the blame for Michael’s problems and his being so incredibly sick in more ways than one...on his abusively brutal father and the mother that tolerated that ...all to get them rich. That family life was really sick for all those kids and his father never got the “credit” for being such a miserable pos.

[DManA]

Why would we believe a word of this?

[RichInOC]

Michael Jackson needs more surgery like he needs a grade-school teaching job.

[Old Sarge]

You’re Bad...

But hey, it’d be such a Thriller if he’d start Living On The Wall.

I don't, I blame it on an obsession to become white, complete with drugs to bleach out his skin and all the plastic surgery to remove his "blackness". I also blame it on his handlers not intervening on his behalf and allowing him to become weird.........

And yes, Jacko is really, really weird!
