Michael Jackson offered renting lifeline |
13 2008 |
| Michael Jackson may have a chance to join the growing legion of renters in the UK by becoming a tenant at his sprawling Neverland ranch. In a bid to ease the King of Pop's financial troubles, UK businessmen Liam Collins, 29, and David Bone, 26, have offered to buy his house and rent it back to him. Apparently, they have been inspired to do so after he helped them to earn money - they used to busk for cash in London by performing Jacko-esque dancing routines. "If it wasn't for Michael's music and his fantastic dance routines, it is possible we wouldn't be where we are today," Mr Collins said, the Sun reports. "We want to see Jacko back on his feet. He's had a real hard time of it," Mr Bone added. Many more people are choosing to rent in the UK, too, as high property prices and the credit crunch impact adversely on people's ability to buy. ![]() |
