A troubled Michael Jackson is getting ready to face another problem. He is being sued by Prince Abdulla Al-Khalif of Bahrain for £4.3m for breach of contract in London High Court.

SKINT pop megastar MICHAEL JACKSON is being sued today for £4.3million by a super-rich Arab sheik for running out on a record deal.

Prince Abdulla Al-Khalif, of Bahrain, claims Jacko signed an exclusive deal for an autobiography, two albums and a musical.

In return he gave the singer an £180,000 Rolls-Royce after his acquittal on child-molesting charges in June 2005 and bailed out his Neverland ranch.

Jacko, 50, is not expected to be at London’s High Court.
