March 22, 2005 - Michael Jackson’s doctor has assured the judge presiding over his child molestation trial that ‘The King of Pop’ is suffering from a physical, not a mental, problem, and that despite his back problems and the revelation that he is on prescribed pain medication, the singer is able to concentrate and participate in his trial, sources told ABC News.

Michael Joseph Jackson (born August 29, 1958 in Gary, Indiana, USA), is an African-American singer, songwriter, and record producer, who has gone on to become the most successful artist in black music history [1]  http://www.onlypunjab.com/real/fullstory…), and one of the most successful popular music singers of all time. He is also known as The King of Pop or the King of the Music Video. Jackson’s successful career has gained him legions of devoted fans, yet he has been dogged by media fascination with his changing physical appearance and what some perceive as an eccentric lifestyle, which has led the tabloid press to dub him “Wacko Jacko” (which Jackson says he finds hurtful).
