The singer will be at the 02 arena in London amid speculation that he is set to play a Las Vegas-style residency at the 02 Arena over the summer.

The concerts have not been confirmed by organisers, and the number of gigs and amount of cash that Jackson will pocket has varied in reports.

London's Evening Standard reported on Wednesday that the singer will perform for two months, after signing a deal worth more than £100 million.

The newspaper quoted a source saying that the concerts could go "up to 50 nights".

Jackson is one of the best-selling artists of all time, and with a brimming back catalogue of huge hits, there is bound to be a huge demand for the concerts.

The singer has kept a low profile since his 2005 acquittal on child molestation charges and has spent time living outside the United States.

His last studio album was in 2001 and concerns for his health as well as a tarnished reputation from his erratic behaviour will raise questions over whether the 50-year-old can still be a thriller.

His last live performance in Britain was at the 2006 World Music Awards, where he performed some lines from We Are the World.

The 02 has been a popular choice for other big name American artists. Prince recently performed a series of dates at the 02 and Britney Spears is also due to play there.
