Pop legend Michael Jackson has broken his foot just days before he is due to speak at the Oxford Union.
But the Thriller superstar promised fans the injury would not stop him making his speech on child welfare at the union on Tuesday, March 6.
More than 20,000 Michael Jackson fans who have applied to see his speech at the Oxford Union will be relieved to hear his visit has not been cancelled.
The 42-year-old, who is famed for his Moonwalk dance, fractured a bone in his foot in a fall at his home, the Neverland Valley Ranch in California.
He said: "The message of Heal The Kids is far too important for me to allow a broken foot to keep me from this commitment."
