Sheik’s settlement with Michael Jackson secret
LONDON — The details of pop star Michael Jackson’s settlement with a Bahraini prince are to remain confidential, a lawyer for the royal said Monday.
Attorney Bankim Thanki confirmed to London’s High Court that Jackson and Sheik Abdulla bin Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa had settled their legal dispute over a planned music project that fell apart in 2006.
Thanki said details of the agreement would not be disclosed.
In a joint statement e-mailed to reporters after the hearing, lawyers for Al Khalifa and Jackson confirmed that the dispute had been resolved.
Al Khalifa first befriended Jackson in the wake of his trial on child molestation charges in California. The sheik took the singer under his wing after he was acquitted in June 2005, moving him to Bahrain.
The sheik said the cash was an advance on a joint pop music venture that Jackson never fulfilled. Jackson denied the charge. Al Khalifa was suing for $7 million.
