According to The Mirror, organisers of his 50-date residency were forced to employ a river boat company as a taxi after the 'Thriller' star confessed that he was scared of helicopters and being driven "in public places".
"He loves the idea of turning up by boat - he thinks it's much more glamorous and very James Bond," revealed an insider.
Concert promoters AEG Live had reportedly hoped that Jackson would live in the countryside during his tour in order to avoid excess attention. However, they have now begun looking at properties in Central London after the 50-year-old said that he was worried about being stuck in traffic.
