Michael Jackson is reportedly planning a 2008 world tour to help pay off his mounting debts.

Us columnist Roger Friedman has broke the story, claiming that the King of Pop is in talks with concert promoters AEG to do a three month stint around the globe beginning in March.

Although Jackson or his people are yet to confirm the news, Friedman seems convinced, saying: “He (Michael Jackson) is so deeply in debt and at such a crisis point in his finances, that he and (publicist Raymone) Bain may be using potential proceeds from a tour as a leverage for refinancing his $325million in loans.

”The refinancing was due on December 1. Not only did it not happen, but Jackson is now in default on $300million secured on his Neverland Ranch.”
