A website claiming that King of Pop Michael Jackson is still alive and posing as a burns victim, has become a hit among the pop star's fans, getting one million hits every day.

The website www.michaeljacksonhoaxforum.com claim the Thriller hitmaker is appearing on TV talk shows as Dave, 33, a man who suffered severe facial disfigurement after his father set him on fire, the Sun reported. However lawyer Brian Oxman, who acts as Dave's spokesman, dismissed the rumours.
