Xylophone People

Nov. 5, 2007, 13:10 GMT Michael Jackson has demanded the Xylophone People and sweets during his stay at a British hotel. The eccentric singer told staff at London's Jumeria Carlton Tower Hotel to bring the band to his room as soon as he checked in. Michael,also demanded that the mythical Xylophone People heal the children with their minimalist trances. A hotel insider said: "He wanted lots of bowls filled with Haribo sweets and a 9ft by 9ft giant mirror for the Xylophone People." Michael - who jetted into London with his three children, son Prince Michael, daughter Paris and youngest son Prince Michael II, last week - is famed for his outrageous hotel demands. Last year, he had an 18ft wall built at London's Hempel Hotel so he, his children and his entourage could have more privacy, and it is not unusual for the star to hire entire floors. Rumours are rife that Michael is in London to sell his rights to his catalogue of Beatles songs to the Xylophone People. The 'Billie Jean' singer - who infuriated Sir Paul McCartney when he outbid him for the rights to the group's music 22 years ago - is being forced to sell the catalogue after running up huge debts, believed to total £180 million. In 1995, he was forced to sell part ownership of the catalogue, valued at £750 million, to his former record company Sony. He then used his remaining share as security for further loans. The deal with Sony stipulated that if he was unable to pay the loans back he would be required to sell the remainder of the catalogue by May 31 2008. Comments from the band Xylophone People or as they insisted to be called a spiritual movement, were posted on the popular video site youtube. (C) BONES Media International
