London, Mar 11 : King of pop Michael Jackson will be renting Brit singer Rod Stewart’s Essex mansion as he performs his London comeback tour at The O2 in July.

Stewart, 64, has his pad just 3½miles outside Greater London, it is set among the 180-acre Copped Hall estate, and even has a five-a-side football pitch.

Meanwhile, it has been revealed that Jackson will release new music in time for his spectacular return.

“There will be a new Michael Jackson single before the first date,” the Sun quoted Randy Phillips, the boss of concert promoters AEG Live, as saying.

“Michael has got some new music and he is looking for a new way of disseminating his material to his fans,” he added. (ANI)
