50 Cent lends support to hero Michael Jackson

Rapper 50 Cent has backed Michael Jackson after the singer rescheduled a string of London gigs. Jackson has pushed back four concerts from the This Is It tour that were due to take place at London's O2 arena in July. The self-styled King of Pop denied rumours of ill health and insisted the postponements were due to creative reasons. Speaking at a glitzy Cinema Against Aids fundraiser at the Cannes Film Festival, Jackson fan 50 Cent said: "Michael Jackson is such a perfectionist, you know? "He is the King of Pop. Until some tops Thriller he's going to have that, and the odds are it ain't gonna happen no time soon."
