My Fox News gossip guru pal Roger Friedman reports that Michael Jackson has passed the required medical tests so he can perform this summer in London.

Following up on our Vegas DeLuxe story yesterday -- click HERE -- Roger says that Michael has no looming diseases or any other physical ailments that would prevent him from getting insurance or making a commitment to AEG Live for 10 to 30 concerts this year.

Michael, a part-time Las Vegas resident, has arrived in London in advance of tomorrow’s announcement, which we’ll have right here at Vegas DeLuxe in the morning.

Roger has confirmed that Michael will perform at the O2 Arena in London this summer. AEG Live has guaranteed him $10 million for 10 concerts. If the shows are well-received and well-attended, and Jackson can make the commitment, AEG Live will have him do a total of 20 to 30 shows with a possible $30 million total, Roger reports.
