Pop star Michael Jackson has reportedly been compelled to make a comeback to the music industry to pay off his spiralling debts.

 

The singer is reportedly working on a new album with rapper/producer Will.i.am and will release a 25th anniversary edition of his hit 1982 album Thriller, reports Contactmusic.

 

According to reports, the pop star has signed

up for a series of live events in London.

 

Jackson is said to have struggled to pay off debts of over 300 million dollars, which emerged after his 2005 court case that saw him cleared of child abuse charges.

 

If he signs up for a one-month residency at the O2 Arena, which will consist of 30 live concerts, he can earn 30 million dollars.
