Has any star had more rumors about them than the late Michael Jackson? Just
watch the videos for "Leave Me Alone" and "Scream" if you need a reminder.
Michael was a world-famous loner who could certainly relate to the plight of
Joseph Carey Merrick. Merrick lived in the late 1800's with a congenital
disease, which created abnormal bone growth on his skull and some of his
limbs, earning him the name “Elephant Man."
Jackson apparently offered $1 million to London Hospital for Merrick's bones
in 1987, but the hospital refused to sell them out of respect for the man.
So yes, Jackson was interested. But no, he never owned them.
