Michael Jackson’s 1979 album isn’t the only thing that’s off the wall. The King of Pop is requesting a choir of child singers to accompany him onstage for his upcoming London Tour, according to London Mirror.

According to a casting agent’s e-mail, Jackson requested a Rainbow Coalition of child singers of mixed race between the ages of five and 13 years old who must be “exactly equal” numbers of Black, White, mixed race and Asian.

The “Black and White” singer has also recruited snare drummers who are “young adults, clean-cut and of mixed ethnicity.” Jackson was acquitted of child molestation changes in 2005.—MPC
