It's not quite the classic moment in Michael Jacksons glittering career that you would think would be captured in wax but a London music studio has chosen to re-create
the heart-stopping moment Michael dangled his nine-month-old son from a fifth-floor Berlin hotel balcony.


Titled; Madonna and Child, the life-sized sculpture of the late king of pop with baby Prince Michael II, has been installed at a window in Hackney, London, causing passers-by to do a double-take.

Los Angeles-based artist Maria von Köhler, was commissioned to create the piece, made of polyester resin, finished in acrylic and wax and has immediately been
the subject of controversy. It is on display until May 1 then moves to LA.

The link between MJ and the Football club is the owner and him were friends.

However the quality of the statue caused many to believe it was an April fool joke or a Madam Tussaud rejected waxwork but
that was quickly rebuked by Mr Mohamed Fayed who told supporters who didn't like the statue -"To go to hell and support another team like Chelsea.'
