Back in 1992 prior to Michael Jackson's then world tour we published
some photos of Michael Jackson, particularly close up photos of his
nose and face.
We suggested that they showed him to be hideously disfigured and
scarred. He immediately issued legal proceedings against us
strongly denying the allegations.
During the course of the proceedings we recently went to Los
Angeles together with an eminent expert in plastic surgery to
view his face close up.
The inspection showed that, in fact, his face is not disfigured.
As a result our lawyers met with Mr Jackson's lawyers and a
confidential deal was thrashed out bringing an overdue end
to the legal proceedings which we are both happy with.
We also apologised for the suggestion that he was hideously
disfigured or scarred. We saw for ourselves this was not the
case. Both sides last night expressed their satisfaction that the
litigation has been amicably resolved.
Kevin Bays of Davenport Lyons, the Mirror's solicitors, said:
"We are glad this matter has been resolved so amicably,
it has gone on long enough and hopefully we can now put it
behind us."
