Jackson was not the biological father of any of his three children, it was claimed yesterday - a revelation that may herald new complications in his family's attempts to settle his tangled affairs.
The claim emerged as the promoter of the singer's planned 50 concerts in London vowed to stage an all-star tribute show featuring the remaining Jacksons in his memory.
A number of sources close to the singer told the entertainment website TMZ.com.that the singer was not the sperm donor for either Michael Joseph jnr, 12, Paris Michael Katherine, 11, or Prince Michael II, seven.
Nor - despite the fact that she married the star in 1998 and bore him two of the three children - was Debbie Rowe the biological mother.
TMZ, which first broke the news of Jackson's death last Thursday, claims that the former nurse was paid simply to act as a surrogate for the first son and daughter, who were created using sperm and eggs from third-party donors.

Okay all you sherlocks out there.. if I had my appendix removed, would I expect that each of my children would be born without an appendix? Then why would you expect that a man of African descent have three very caucasian children?

You're a total ignorant. That is very possible and the fact that they were what you so call "Caucasian children" does not prove anything...

His whole life was a slo-mo train wreck - guess you couldn't expect much more than the same from his death.

This is tabloid fodder only. It doesn't matter as far as the California Family Court is concerned. Jackson was their father in the eyes of the court and all legal decisions will be based on that fact .
