Jermaine Jackson blasts Neverland claims

Jermaine Jackson has vowed that brother Michael’s Neverland ranch will be sold "over my dead body".

The Celebrity Big Brother runner-up described reports that the 2,800-acre estate will be sold off to repay Michael's debts as "a myth".

It was reported last week that the popstar had reached an agreement with Fortress Investment Group enabling him to retain the California property, which includes a theme park and zoo.

He had previously been warned that the ranch would be foreclosed and auctioned off if he failed to pay $25 million in arrears.

However, Jermaine blasted the claims in an interview with TMZ, saying: “It’s not for sale and it never will be. Over my dead body will it be sold.”
