Michael Jackson is hoping a doctor’s note can get him out of his latest lawsuit. Wacko’s attorney currently dealing with the $7 million breach-of-contract trial in London after a Bahrain sheikh accused him of failing to make good on the terms of an exclusive recording contract, told the court today that Jackson would likely be unable to make it across the pond to offer testimony due to an undisclosed illness.

“On a best-case prognosis, it would be unwise for him to travel, given what he’s got now,” attorney Roberrt Englehart said in London’s High Court. He refused to elaborate further “for the obvious reasons,” but said the singer was waiting on test results.
