Michael Jackson had gay relationship

London, (ANI): A new book makes several shocking claims about Michael Jackson, including one that he had many gay lovers who he seduced by saying: "The King of Pop is going to lick your lollipop."

Biographer Ian Halperin claims to have hunted down two of the star's alleged male lovers, with one apparently making the allegation. "The very first time he had sex with me he said, 'The King of Pop's going to lick your lollipop'. I still laugh thinking about that," the Sun quoted Jackson's one alleged lover as having told Halperin.

The author of 'Unmasked: The Final Years of Michael Jackson' also alleges that "virtually everybody" around the singer knew about his interests in the same sex.

He says: "Virtually everybody has told me. Even those who are his most ardent defenders, people who maintain he is innocent of the molestation charges, insist that he is homosexually inclined."
