MICHAEL Jackson’s death was a hoax and he is still alive, according to fans who say the evidence is piling up to prove it.

Several conspiracy theories have emerged over the past year, with the most recent being a video claiming the King of Pop’s name had been misspelled on his death certificate.

In the clip, Michael’s passport clearly supplied his middle name as “Joe” after his dad.

But on his death certificate, the full spelling of “Joseph” is used.

Twitter users desperately hounded MJ’s sister Lay Toya to question her over his real name.

Singer La Toya confirmed her brother’s name was Michael Joe Jackson but the post has apparently been removed.

Three months before that, a ‘clue’ was found in a Janet Jackson song released in 2015.

A man slows down the song before insisting the slowed down version of “The Great Forever” features Michael’s voice.

The lyrics are: “Not too pleased with what you’re digging, I’m just busy livin’ my life.”

And in December last year, the King of Pop was at the centre of another controversy.

Video footage posted to Instagram of his nephew’s wedding claims to show Jackson in disguise.

Standing in the background is a bulky man wearing sunglasses, spotted metres away from Prince and Paris, his children.

Fans swear the man bears an uncanny resemblance to a character Michael played in a short film in 1996 called Ghosts.

In June, Michael Jackson’s bodyguard rubbished claims the pop legend was still alive.
