Jacko gearing up for birthday bash

Michael Jackson is said to be “very excited” about his 45th birthday party on Saturday to which any fan paying £20 (€29) is invited.

The three-hour programme, at the Orpheum theatre in Los Angeles, will include tap dancers, a 13-year-old Danish singer who performs Jackson songs and a Jackson impersonator according to the organiser, Deborah Donnelly, president of the singer’s U.S. Fan club.
