Jackson 'wants Diversity for O2 shows'

Michael Jackson reportedly wants Britain's Got Talent winners Diversity to perform at his upcoming London shows.

According to The Mirror, the 'Thriller' star was "mesmerised" by the dance troupe and is now eager for them to join him on stage when he begins his sold-out residency.

"Everyone knows Michael's performances are as much about the dancing as they are his music and Diversity would only add to the magic," said an insider.

"They are the hottest thing in the country at the moment, and if everything goes well and Michael takes them on they could be one of the hottest things on the planet."

Jackson is scheduled to begin his nine-month 'This Is It' stint at the O2 arena next month, after postponing the original four dates of the tour to allow for extra rehearsal time.
