I wonder if he can grow a big bushy beard now. lol
MICHAEL Jackson has converted to Islam and changed his name to Mikaeel, according to reports.
The singer wore traditional Islamic dress as he pledged his allegiance to the Koran at a friend's home in Los Angeles, The Sun reports.
Jackson, who was raised a Jehovah's Witness, reportedly decided to convert after discussing religion with a music producer and songwriter on his new album - both of whom were converts to Islam.
The Sun reported singer Yousef Islam - formerly knowns as Cat Stevens - turned up to help Jackson celebrate.
Jackson is due to give evidence in court next week after being sued by Sheikh Abdulla bin Hamad Al Khalifa, second son of the King of Bahrain.
Sheikh Abdulla, who is seeking $US7 million ($10.7 million), claims he helped support the cash-strapped Jackson in the aftermath of his child molestation trial.
Sheikh Abdulla claims Jackson promised to pay back the money, while Jackson says he thought it was a gift.
Jackson is expected to give evidence to a London court via video link from LA.
