The shocking damage caused to Michael Jackson's ear by repeated plastic surgery has been revealed.
Jackson's long hair normally hides it from view. But all was revealed as he left a medical clinic in California yesterday, where he has been receiving treatment for skin cancer.
The left ear looked as though the outer ring had been removed. It is thought cartilage has been repeatedly taken from the 50-year-old's ear to rebuild his nose, which was damaged during extensive surgery.
A similar procedure is available on the NHS, usually to correct damage caused during accidents.
Yesterday a music promoter sued Jackson to stop him from performing in London this year, claiming his appearances would violate a prior contract.
New Jersey-based AllGood Entertainment Inc claims it signed a deal with the singer's manager, Frank DiLeo, in November committing him to an appearance in the U.S. this summer.
Under the agreement, Jackson is not supposed to give another concert before that show, the lawsuit states.
Jackson has signed with AEG Live to play 50 shows at London's O2 Arena starting in July.
AllGood Entertainment contends those shows violate the New Jersey company's agreement with DiLeo, which it says predates the singer's deal with AEG Live.
Representatives for Jackson and AEG Live were not immediately available to comment.

AEG Live, which is named in the lawsuit, has previously called AllGood Entertainment's claims 'meaningless'.
Jackson has been rehearsing in the Los Angeles area for the London shows.
AllGood Entertainment contends in its lawsuit its agreement with DiLeo also left the door open for Jackson to perform with other members of his show business family, which includes his brothers from the Jackson Five and sister Janet Jackson.
The company's lawsuit alleges breach of contract, fraud and tortious interference with a contract. It seeks at least $20 million in compensatory damages and at least $20 million in punitive damages.
It also names as defendants Jackson's production company, as well as DiLeo, his company and AEG Live's parent company AEG, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Anschutz Company.
Jackson's series of London shows have been touted as unprecedented.
AEG Live says that, all together, the shows will gather the biggest audience ever to see an artist in one city.
