Jacko jets in to sell Beatles to Macca

Updated 11:07am on 16 Mar 2007


The ego has landed! Michael Jackson jetted into London yesterday with his two kids - Prince, 10, and Paris Michael, nine.

With their faces obscured by scarves as usual, the poor children looked like mini-versions of movie character 'The Invisible Man' (inset).

The King of Pop, 48, is rumoured to be in town to meet with Sir Paul McCartney's people to discuss selling his £200 million Beatles back catalogue. He is being forced to sell off part of his catalogue to stave off bankruptcy.

Michael outbid Sir Paul and Yoko Ono in 1985 for ownership of over 200 songs. Sir Paul has never made a secret of his desire to win back the Fab Four's repertoire, so could a deal be in the offing?

It would be wise for Paul to buy. Every time there is need for a new medium to play a Beatles album there are millions of new sales of these albums, and technology requires it about every ten years.

Will this sale prevent the ruining of the songs and the spirit they were writen in by being used in bad commercials?
