Evidently Michael Jackson is in dire need of a lung transplant. His health is suffering and he has a rare lung condition that could kill him. It seems that Jackson suffers from Alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency, a potentially fatal genetic illness, as well as emphysema and gastrointestinal bleeding. Also, Jackson can barely speak and is 95 percent blind in his left eye. If the surgeons don’t get the internal bleeding down, Jackson could die very quickly. He may even be too weak to go through with the transplant surgery. This news came from Ian Halperin who is writing Michale Jackson’s biography.
