'King of Pop' Michael Jackson was gay and had a string of male lovers, a new book claims.
Biographer Ian Halperin in his book "Unmasked: The Final Years of Michael Jackson" claims that the pop star would sneak out of his home at midnight dressed as woman keep his dates with his lovers, 'Sun online' reported.
Halperin claims that he interviewed many people close to Jackson, who told him that the pop star was homosexual. He also claims to have tracked down at least two of his lovers.
"Virtually everybody has told me. Even those who are his most ardent defenders, people who maintain he is innocent of the molestation charges, insist that he is homosexually inclined," Halperin said.
The biographer claims to have tracked down at least two lovers of the pop star and says one of them is a Hollywood waiter and an aspiring actor, "Lawrence".
Jackson fell in love with a burly half-Asian while staying in Las Vegas.
"He rarely left his residence, but when he did, according to one of Jackson's closest confidants, it was to meet a boyfriend at a run-down motel," the author says.
"Michael would leave the house in disguise, often dressed as a woman, and would go to meet his boyfriend at a motel that was one of Vegas' grungiest dives. Michael was broke. It was all he could afford then," the book quotes a source as saying.
The 'Thriller' hitmaker, who was accused and later acquitted of child abuse charges in 2005, had denied that he was homosexual.
