Michael Jackson bequeathed 200 unpublished songs for children

Personal note: I think more and more Michael Jackson knew about what he was doing, including the giving up of the ghost.

Michael Jackson has bequeathed up to 200 original songs to his three children, it has been reported.

The singer put in place a contingency plan months before his death to ensure his children would be well taken care of in the event of bankruptcy.

It means the songs cannot be touched by the creditors and could be worth as much as $100 million. They have been left to Prince Michael, aged 12, Paris Katherine, 11, and Prince Michael, 11 (also known as Blanket).

It has also been claimed that Jackson's will, which has not yet been made public, demands that the three of them remain with his 79-year-old mother Katherine in California.

The claims are to be made in a biography of Jackson called The Final Years of Michael Jackson, written by Ian Halperin. The book will also claim that a genetic condition had ruined Jackson's lungs and left him unable to sing.

Jackson was reportedly receiving regular injections for the condition - called Alpha 1 antitrypsin deficiency - which is a lack of a protein that can help protect the lungs.

The disease can cause respiratory problems and, in severe cases, emphysema. The book claims that this is why Jackson had for years been wearing a surgical mask in public, and sometimes used a wheelchair.

Other claims made in the biography include that Jackson had nightmares about being murdered and told friends he wanted to die, according to the Mail on Sunday.

Mr Halperin said that six months ago he predicted Jackson's death - within six months. He says his suggestions was dismissed as a "complete fabrication" by Jackson's official spokesman, Tohme Tohme.
