the Case of the Collapsing Face

The mystery behind the pictures of Michael Jackson’s bandaged and plastered face has been revealed.
The 49-year-old singer was reportedly forced to have emergency surgery after his five-year-old son accidentally smacked him in the face, bursting and collapsing his lips...
He was whacked in the face by his younger son Prince Michael II while playing around and part of Jackson’s upper lip collapsed. That mishap led Jacko to make a beeline for the plastic surgeon for repair work.
At the beginning of week pictures floated around the internet showing the singer trying to conceal his injury.
