Psychic Uri Geller wants Michael Jackson to launch a comeback

Uri Geller wants pal Michael Jackson to launch a pop comeback.

The psychic reckons Jacko, 50, will be revitalized health wise if he sets himself a goal to achieve.

‘Michael was always fragile, but he gets incredible energy, motivation and inspiration when he engages himself with music,’ Uri explains.

‘He has always lived through that, and when he’s not writing or producing, when he’s not dancing in that incredible way of his, all you really have left is this vulnerable person in a wheelchair. He should be more than that.’

Uri, 61, also defends Michael’s parenting skills. The Thriller star was criticized for hanging his youngest son Prince Michael Jackson II, now 6, out of a balcony in November 2002.

‘I believe he is a good father,’ he tells The New Review. ‘Sure he’s made mistakes – dangling the baby out of a window was not a good idea – but he’s a dedicated dad who loves them very much.’

Jacko is also dad to son Prince Michael Jr and daughter Paris Katherine with ex-wife Deborah Rowe.

Michael Jackson 'needs lung transplant'

Singer also said to be partially blind in one eye

Michael Jackson is suffering from lung failure, according to his biographer Ian Halperin.
He says the singer, 50, has genetic disease A1AD, which deprives his lungs of protein.
‘He needs a lung transplant, but may be too weak to go through with it,’ he says.

‘He also has emphysema and chronic gastrointestinal bleeding, which his doctors have had a lot of trouble stopping.

'It’s the bleeding that’s the most problematic part. It could kill him.’ 

Ian says Michael's had the illness for some time. 

‘He can barely speak,’ he tells The Sun. ‘The vision in his left eye is 95 per cent gone.

'For years Michael has been working with his doctors to make sure it doesn’t progress.
'He has been on many medications that have stabilised him.’

Older brother Jermaine, 54, recently said: ‘He’s not doing so well right now. This isn’t a good time.’

Michael Jackson: Jackson 5 are not reforming

Michael Jackson has rubbished claims that Jackson 5 are reforming.

Older brother Jermaine hinted the brothers were ready for a comeback album and tour.

But Michael, 50, has no plans for a reunion.

‘My brothers and sisters have my full love and support, and we’ve certainly shared many great experiences,’ said the star in a statement.

‘But at this time I have no plans to record or tour with them.’

The singer is busy concentrating on his own musical comeback.

‘I am now in the studio developing new and exciting projects that I look forward to sharing with my fans in concert soon,’ he added.

The Jackson 5, whose lineup also includes Jackie, 57, Tito, 55, and Marlon, 51, as well as unofficial member Randy, 47, rose to fame in the early 1970s.

Maked his half century with release of 'The King Of Pop'

Having marked his half century on Friday with the release of The King Of Pop, a new collection of his chart toppers, Michael Jackson is taking a radically new tack with his next venture. The singer has teamed up with close pal David Gest to record tracks based on the work of 18th-century Scottish poet Robbie Burns.

David, a former I'm A Celebrity… contestant and Liza Minnelli's ex-husband, has revealed he and the Thriller star have given a 21st-century spin to some of the celebrated bard's verses, putting the likes of We Did Ae Fond Kiss and Tom O'Shanter to contemporary music .

"Our favourite poet in the world is Robbie Burns," he explains. "We turned his work into show tunes; it's beautiful."

Although they've already laid down the tracks it's not known whether the pair plan on releasing the result.

SEE PIC Michael Jackson snapped in wheelchair with mask and shades

Michael Jackson has been photographed wearing pyjamas and in a wheelchair while out shopping.

His bizarre appearance at a book and toy shop near his Las Vegas home sparked new fears for his health.

Jackson, who was disguised with dark glasses and a surgical mask, spent about two hours inside the Barnes and Noble store.

The pop star, who turns 50 next month, was accompanied by his children, Prince Michael, 11, Paris, ten, and six-year-old Prince Michael II.

The family were escorted by a team of eight security guards and minders, one of whom pushed Jackson's wheelchair.

According to onlookers he spent about 30 minutes in the children's book section before browsing for music.

One shopper said: "There were quite a few members of the public in the shop, but no one approached him. To be honest, he looked a bit weird wheeling himself around covered up in a surgeon's mask."

Earlier this year he arrived at the Ultimate Fighting championship in Las Vegas in a wheelchair, causing fans to fear he may have injured himself, but minutes later he stood up on stage to give a quick speech before the fight.

Two years ago he sat in a wheelchair as assistants pushed him around Paris's Jardin des Plantes botanical gardens.

A new double album, called King Of Pop, is set to be released to mark his 50th birthday on August 29.
