Music legend Michael Jackson is in the UK tonight, according to eyewitness reports.

The star has been spotted in the Dorchester Hotel, London, meeting fans and posing for photographs.

Mike Hollingsworth, who was organising a charity ball in the hotel, said he saw Jackson in the reception area.

“He was surrounded by a large group of people but it was unmistakably him. He spent several minutes meeting people and posing for photos.

“He kept trying to cover his face but from what I could see he looked well.”

Staff at the hotel denied he was staying there, despite several reported sightings.

It is believed this is the first time the artist has been in the UK since he was cleared of 10 charges of child abuse and plying a minor with alcohol in June.

He is believed to be recording a charity song, From The Bottom Of My Heart, for victims of Hurricane Katrina.
