This is sad.. this guy was a megastar and now is worse every day.. He is a freak, a hermit, I think he is guilty of the child molestation, but.. I feel sad anyway how he is ending.. I'm sure his mind is abnormal too.

Michael Jackson is suffering so badly from a recurring back complaint, he has been forced to travel in a wheelchair.

The Billie Jean hitmaker was snapped recently wearing pyjamas, a dread locked wig, a surgeon's mask, a baseball cap and sunglasses as he was pushed around Las Vegas by a security guard.

Jackson has battled numerous health problems over the years, including lupus and vitiligo. In 1995, Jackson was rushed to a hospital after collapsing during rehearsals for a televised performance; the incident was reportedly caused by a stress related panic attack.

One eyewitness tells British newspaper The Sun, "There are constant rumours of a Michael Jackson comeback but it was shocking to see that in reality he is a shadow of his former self.

"He seemed too weak even to get out of the chair to cross the road himself. He stayed in the store for two hours and wheeled himself around in the chair the whole time.

"The skin on his hands was peeling, almost like a snake's. He kept his mask on all the time. His security man was at his side and nobody approached him. It is really sad."

Icky icky poo. For years he's looked hideous, years. A shame, that his talents have been so overshadowed by his freaky appearance and all the scandal surrounding him.

He'll die broke and forgotten. Such a waste.

He looks pretty normal to me. Well, for Michael Jackson that is.

What he's done to himself is so incredibly sad. He was such a beautiful man and I can only imagine what happened to him that he couldn't see it. He clearly has mental issues and being surrounded by yes men doesn't help with those. The damn surgeon who did that to his face should have their license revoked.
