Michael
Jackson
has
demanded
a
children's
xylophone
and
sweets
during
his
stay
at
a
British
hotel.
The
eccentric
singer
told
staff
at
London's
Jumeria
Carlton
Tower
Hotel
to
bring
the
items
to
his
room
as
soon
as
he
checked
in.
Michael,
who
has
undergone
several
cosmetic
surgery
procedures,
also
demanded
a
giant
mirror.
A
hotel
insider
said:
"He
wanted
lots
of
bowls
filled
with
Haribo
sweets
and
also
asked
for
a
toy
xylophone.
He
also
asked
for
a
6ft
by
6ft
giant
mirror."
Michael - who jetted into London with his three children, son Prince Michael, daughter Paris and youngest son Prince Michael II, last week - is famed for his outrageous hotel demands. Last year, he had an 18ft wall built at London's Hempel Hotel so he, his children and his entourage could have more privacy, and it is not unusual for the star to hire entire floors. Rumours are rife that Michael is in London to sell his rights to his catalogue of Beatles songs. The 'Billie Jean' singer - who infuriated Sir Paul McCartney when he outbid him for the rights to the group's music 22 years ago - is being forced tosell the catalogue after running up huge debts, believed to total £180 million.
In 1995, he was forced to sell part ownership of the catalogue, valued at £750 million, to his former record company Sony. He then used his remaining share as security for further loans. The deal with Sony stipulated that if he was unable to pay the loans back he would have be required to sell the remainder of the catalogue by May 31 2008.
