Jackson, 50, donned traditional Islamic garb while pledging allegiance to the Quran in a private ceremony in Los Angeles.

The singer was raised a Jehovah's Witness and biographers claim the contradiction between the sect's strict teachings and the sexual activities of Jackson's father and brothers while on tour contributed to his eccentric character and alleged paedophilic leanings.

It was reported music industry figures and Muslim converts David Wharnsby and Phillip Bubal guided Jackson through his conversion, for which he chose the Islamic name Mikaeel.

1970s pop star Cat Stevens — now known as Yousef Islam — joined the celebrations after the ceremony.
