Troubled superstar Michael Jackson looks set to earn a fortune from Macca’s performance at the recent Live8 African debt awareness gig.
The singer who is definitely not a peado (it’s official) owns the back catalogue to loads of Beatles songs, so will rake it in from the Fab Fours rocketing sales following Paul McCartney and U2’s performance of ‘Sgt Pepper’s Lonely Heart Club Band’ and ‘Hey Jude’ which was performed at the close of the concert by a whole host of celebrities.
Other stars involved in the mammoth world wide gig have pledged to donate the proceeds from increased sales of their music to poverty relief projects while Jacko has stayed silent on the issue.
With spiralling debts and court bills to pay Jackson may well need the money himself though Sir Paul has asked Universal for the profits from his share of the royalties to be donated.
