Wacko Jacko is celebrating the sweet taste of freedom by hanging out in the Middle East.
The first photographs of the troubled singer since he was cleared of child-fiddling nearly three months ago show him rubbing shoulders with his new best friend, rally driver Mohammed Bin Sulayem.
The pictures, taken in Dubai, were published on Monday, marking Jackson’s 47th birthday.
Sulayem is the son of king of Bahrain, as well as being the United Arab Emirates rally driving champion. It is not believed that Jackson is to take up the high speed motor sport, but hopefully he may choose it over releasing any more music.
