Michael Jackson postpones UK visit over swine flu scare

Singer is worried he'll catch the disease

Michael Jackson is due to perform more than 50 concerts at London's O2 Arena

Michael Jackson has delayed plans to house-hunt in England due to the swine flu pandemic.

The pop legend was due to fly into London this month ahead of his gigs at the 02 arena in June.

But he's worried he might come into contact with the disease.

'Michael wanted to come over to make sure the property is just right - after all he will be renting it from now until February next year,’ a source tells the Daily Express.

‘But that is off for the time being. Michael doesn’t want to travel because of the worry surrounding the flu outbreak.’

Michael, 50, is set to pocket £35million from the tour, which kicks off on 8 July.
