Pop legend Michael Jackson set to buy a home in Britain
POP legend Michael Jackson and his family could be buying a home in the UK.
His older brother, Tito, has been looking at potential hideaway homes in north Devon.
Michael has, in past years, paid private visits to the area through friend and local martial arts chain owner Matt Fiddes.
A few years ago the superstar stunned thousands of Exeter City Football Club fans when he headlined a fundraising event at the Devon club's St James Park ground.
Tito is understood to have been looking at properties in villages around the north Devon town of Barnstaple.
"It makes sense for me to find a home in this country that I, my brothers and sisters and family can come to," he reportedly said.
"We hope it will be a family hideaway where my brothers and sisters can escape the media attention when we need to."
He said Michael liked the north Devon area "as no one bothers him". Mr Fiddes said: "The Jacksons will be heading this way a lot more often."
