More Jacko gossip for you.

The Sun claims that Michael Jackson has drastically cut down his food intake because be believes doing so will help him beat the skin cancer the tabloid is convinced the star is suffering from.

The Sun cites sources as saying that the singer, currently preparing for his big comeback at London's The O2, is only eating one meal a day.

The source says:

"Michael has a phobia about getting fat. He doesn't want to put on any weight at all. But he is insistent that he'll only eat once a day and is adamant that's enough food from him. He's very thin and frail".

Earlier this week the tabloid claimed Jackson had told fans he'd have to put on some weight if he was to make it through his fifty day residency at The O2 - at the same time he claimed he never agreed to such a long run, having expected to perform just ten shows at the Dome.

As previously reported, Jacko's people deny he has skin cancer, though gossipers have continued to claim he does, partly because he has been seen leaving an LA medical clinic a number of times in recent weeks.
