Pop megastar Michael Jackson is to make an announcement in London Thursday amid speculation that he is going to perform a series of comeback concerts in Britain.

A statement from concert promoter AEG Live called media Tuesday to a news conference on 1600 GMT Thursday at the giant O2 music venue in the British capital, without giving further details.

A source close to the negotiations told AFP last month that Jackson was in talks with concert organisers to perform up to 30 live shows in London this year.

The source, who requested anonymity, confirmed British media reports that the 50-year-old "King of Pop" could be set to play his first major concerts since his 2005 acquittal on child molestation charges.

If the deal is confirmed, it would be a spectacular return to the limelight for Jackson, who dominated the pop world with hit albums like "Thriller" and "Bad" in the 1980s but has virtually vanished from public view since his trial.
