According to some reports, Jackson has already taken an overdose a number of times since arriving in Bahrain after he was acquitted of molesting a child in the United States.
Jackson's spokesman denied the report, saying that the singer was currently busy recording a song together with other artists for the Hurricane Katrina victims.
The spokesman added that he had been with Jackson the entire week and had never seen him happier and in a better mood. He also advised the National Enquirer to start looking for a good lawyer.
