Michael Jackson has denied he has skin cancer and is still rehearsing for his forthcoming "This is It" shows.

The 'Beat It' singer's spokesperson, Dr Tohme Tohme, says he is in the 'best of health' and doesn't have skin cancer, as recently reported.

Tohme Tohme told the New York Daily News paper: ?He is great. He in perfect health. He doesn?t have any diseases whatsoever.?

Michael was said to be suffering from spots on his skin, cancer on his upper body and pre-cancerous cells on his face, thought to be linked to vitiligo, a condition he also suffers from.

Despite his denial, Michael is reportedly under doctors' supervision, though he has defiantly pressed on with four times a week practices for his 50 date residency at London?s O2 arena, which starts in June against their orders.

A source told Britain's The People newspaper: ?Michael is determined the show will go on.

He is determined his comeback shows will be the best they possibly can be for his loyal fans. The doctors finally came round to the idea, although they still want to keep a close eye on him.

Michael is also said to be developing a new dance move to rival his famous Moonwalk of the 80s.

Choreographer Kenny Ortega - who he worked with Michael on his 'Dangerous' and 'HIStory world tours said: "He's working on something new, but I'm sworn to secrecy."

Michael Jackson's residency at the O2 arena opens on July 8.

this rumour all sounds a little bit untrue- mj has always seemed to be quite precious of his health, so completely defying a load of doctors and goin ahead with concerts doesnt sound like somethin he would do :\
and his recent regular visits to hospitals and dermatologists? thats nothing new- hes always been regularily in an out of clinics because of his vitiligo, so that dont nessessarily prove hes got cancer
i hope im right coz i really want to see him pull of these 50 concerts, shut his critics up for good :)
