Michael Jackson has launched a new website and says that from now on he'll speak out for himself.
The singer, who is accused of child sex abuse, said he had become "disturbed and troubled as a result of people speaking on my behalf whom I do not know".
The site, entitled A New Beginning, opens with images of Jackson flashing on screen to the sound of screaming fans and music. It promises "exclusive news, interviews and never before seen photos".
On the site,
