Jackson to charge fans for 30 seconds

Michael Jackson is going to charge his fans £1,700 each to spend 30 seconds with him in Japan.

The singer is allegedly suffering debts of £170million, and has come up with the novel way to increase his income.

Jackson will travel to Tokyo in February to attend the "fan appreciation events", where he is set to charge 30 fans for the privilege of his company.

Despite his debts, the singer was recently pictured shopping in Las Vegas, reportedly spending thousands of pounds on "impulse buys".
