Michael Jackson cloned his DNA before he died to create a troop of mini-Jacksons and perfect copies of himself, it has been revealed.

Scientist Michael C. Luckman, who learnt about the popstar's sperm scheme from Jackson's costume designer and friend Andre Van Pier, said in his new book that he made "safe deposits" of his sperm in three different medical facilities across the world, the Daily Star reported.

Luckman added that Pier first learned of the futuristic cloning experiments and the secret sperm deposits from a close associate at a longevity centre based in Panama.

Luckman wrote in his tell-all book 'The Battle for Michael Jackson's Soul' that the 'Thriller' star, whose enthusiasm for cloning began with the successful cloning of Dolly the Sheep, wanted this happen and so spent time and money trying to achieve his goal.
