Michael Jackson will announce a 30-date live residency at London's O2 later this week, say reports.

According to The Sun, the popstar, 50, arrived at Luton airport yesterday before being taken to a hotel in Knightsbridge with his children.

Jackson is expected to appear at a press conference on Thursday afternoon at the O2. A new album and live shows are rumoured to be part of the announcement, but no details have been confirmed by Sony.

Tabloid reports claim that the singer may receive up to £5 million for each live date.

Jackson's last comeback was at the World Music Awards in 2006, but he was roundly criticised for only performing a couple of lines from 'We Are The World' at the London ceremony.
