Michael Jackson Need Lung Transplant + Bush Shoe Thrower Apologizes

FOXNews is reporting that the King of Pop is very sick. He is need of a lung transplant to save him from a rare genetic condition called Alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency, a potentially fatal genetic illness. Jacko is also said to suffer from emphysema and gastrointestinal bleeding as well.

Ian Halperian just finished the book about Jackson's life and told Touch magazine that “He’s had it for years, but it’s gotten worse.” “He needs a lung transplant but may be too weak to go through with it … [But] it’s the [gastrointestinal] bleeding that is the most problematic part. It could kill him.” Halperin also claims that the singer can barely speak and is 95-percent blind in his left eye.

If this is indeed the case, I hope that he is strong enough to receive a transplant, otherwise the world will lose a major music icon.
