US R&B star Akon has said he believes Michael Jackson will mime at his London comeback gigs this summer.
The singer, who was worked with Jackson in the past, also revealed that he would visit the UK to watch the shows, which begin on July 13.
“Michael singing, I'm not so sure about. He will perform but not sing,” Akon told the Daily Star.
“He hasn't told me what he's got planned. He ain't told anybody. But it's going to be amazing, I can tell you that."
Akon added that his front row tickets are so close to the stage “you will think that I am on it”.
As previously reported on Gigwise, Jackson is currently in rehearsals in Los Angeles for his 50-night residency.
The singer is said to be in great health and looking forward to the concert, despite reports he is suffering from skin cancer, a spokesperson has said

- How could/can AKON offend Michael after their collaborations? This makes no sense... and thats it!
I dont believe that Akon would say something like that! But its a juicy steak for tabloid..., why not dig into Michael if he is coming back...?
- I don't understand why this is big news, Michael has always lip synced in his concerts, am I missing the point??? How on earth can he sing and dance like he does??? Akon is telling the truth. Why the big ordeal???
- Its unrealistic to think that a 50 year old man with a history of drug abuse and health problems will be able to maintain the energy and stamina needed to pull off even a few concerts let alone a grueling schedule-it could kill him.
- he didn't take drugs - he was on medication, addicted to pain killers...
