Well it was bound to happen…

Michael Jackson was snapped in a wheelchair wearing pajamas and a surgical mask at a Las Vegas bookstore, with his kids in tow.

Jackson and kids spent roughly two hours at the Las Vegas bookstore, shopping for children’s books and CD’s.

The photographer who captured the frail former shadow of a popstar, Mike Lopez, told reporters that “he looks really frail. His skin was peeling and he looks so thin and gaunt.”

Sad.

Michael is only turning 50 years in one month, less than two weeks after Madonna will also turn the big 5-0.
