MICHAEL JACKSON plans to enter his concerts at the O2 on board an elephant, surrounded by loads of other exotic animals.

“He hopes to make it the most spectacular gig ever,” an insider told The Mirror.

“He wants to ride out on an African elephant with panthers led on gold chains. Parrots and other birds will fly behind him.

“If it goes to plan it will look incredible.”

The snag with the scheme is that strict British animal welfare laws might stop Jackson from pulling off his King of the Jungle act, but it is understood the singer’s lawyers are trying to find a way around the rules.

Failing that, apparently Jackson has another plan up his sleeve for the shows which start in July, involving 100 Masai warriors.

Tickets for Jacko’s 50 concerts sold out within days of their release, but punters can still buy tickets on the fan-to-fan ticket exchanges, such as Get Me In.
