Velvet Revolver and Guns n’ Roses legend Slash has said that he refused to let Michael Jackson near his two-year-old son when they met in London.
The guitarist – real name Saul Hudson - says that although he believed Jacko was innocent until proven guilty with his child abuse charges, he still wouldn’t let his child near the King of Pop.
He tells this month’s Uncut magazine: "You know, I give the benefit of the doubt to Michael on everything - innocent until proven guilty and whatnot - but I was thinking, okay Michael, you figure out your shit and I'll hold on to my son!"
Jackson, of course, was acquitted of all child abuse charges when he went on trial in 2005.
