LOS ANGELES - THE King of Pop is back - in town, that is.
Michael Jackson has signed a yearlong lease on a mansion in the swanky Bel Air area of the city, a spokesman for the singer said on Wednesday.
Jackson has been staying in the estate for about a month, said spokesman Tohme Tohme, who called the property 'a little bit more than an average home.'
The lease agreement, first reported Monday by the Los Angeles Times, is for $100,000 a month. The home has seven bedrooms, 13 bathrooms and 12 fireplaces.
Jackson, 50, relocated to the city with his three children to be closer to Hollywood and the entertainment industry, said Mr Tohme, promising that 'the second half (of his career) will be better than the first.' -- AP
