Wacko mock-up of Jacko

We've unearthed a rather spooky article from a 1985 edition of Ebony magazine, which predicted what Michael Jackson might look like in the year 2000, aged 40.

Fantasy and reality: What it was predicted Jacko would look like in 2000 (left) and what he actually looked like (right)

It said he would have "aged gracefully" and depicted him with an afro and thin moustache. Had the mag mocked up what he really looked like in 2000, no one would have believed it.
