Michael Jackson, the late king of pop, had spent millions on a shocking collection of “paedo” art.
The pop star owned a large number of specially commissioned paintings in which he featured surrounded by naked cherubs.
Now, six months after his death, some of his bizarre artwork has been unveiled.
One of the pictures, called Michael, shows the Thriller star striking the same pose as Michelangelo’s statue of David with just a loincloth covering his private parts. In the picture, he has marble-white skin and he is surrounded by male cherubs.
Another painting, Field Of Dreams, shows Jackson, who died in June aged 50, leading children along a yellow brick road.
The paintings were done by US artist David Nordahl, 68, who denied claims that they constituted “paedo art”.
The shocking artwork has been revealed in a new book about Jackson’s life called Opus: The Ultimate Celebration Of An Icon.
“These paintings are a way of seeing how Michael would like to have seen himself,” the Daily Star quoted David as saying.
