According to US reports the singer will make a spectacular comeback at the show - following Justin Timberlake on stage in front of a TV audience of millions.

This would be an honour for the younger performer who has been heavily influenced by Jackson.

Despite years of strange behaviour Sunday night could mark Michael Jackson's comeback

It is thought Jacko may even re-create his famous "Billie Jean" moonwalk dance he first showed off at the Motown 25th Anniversary show in 1983.

Fox News columnist Roger Friedman reports: "My sources say that Michael Jackson may actually be making a performance on the Grammy Awards this Sunday.

"The scenario that's been described for me goes something like this - Justin Timberlake starts the show singing along with a tape of Frank Sinatra.

"The next act up is Jackson, performing one of his hits from Thriller, possibly even re-creating the dance number for "Billie Jean" he made famous in 1983."

He added: "Will it happen? Who knows?" Jackson, 49, is said to have been rehearsing at a California studio in recent days.

As the star's celebrity and credibility has declined in recent years it is also debatable how well a surprise performance would be received.

The singer's potential comeback will take place just before a special 25th anniversary edition of Thriller is released in the US next week.
