Jackson Speaks
About Trial Ordeal
Pop star
Michael Jackson has broken his silence on
his child abuse trial, describing it as
"the hardest thing I've ever done in my
life".
The
singer has not spoken publicly since
sending a message to fans in June, shortly
after being cleared of molesting a young
boy.
In a
brief interview with the Associated Press
news agency, he said he was still "resting
and recovering".
The star
is staying in Bahrain and said he was
"feeling good".
He added
he was "moving full speed ahead" with
plans to record a charity single for the
victims of Hurricane Katrina.
Jackson's
spokeswoman has said Mariah Carey, James
Brown and Snoop Dogg are among the big
names set to appear on the song, although
the line-up has not been
finalised.
"I'm
constantly working on it," Jackson told
the Associated Press.
He
travelled to Bahrain shortly after the
verdict and was recently photographed
smiling in Dubai.
The
star's 19-month legal ordeal ended in June
when he was found not guilty on 10 charges
of plying a teenage boy with alcohol and
abusing him.
He made
several trips to hospital during and after
the trial, complaining of "flu-like
symptoms", dehydration and back
problems.
In June,
he told fans: "Your ever-present love held
me, dried my tears, and carried me
through."
