The ‘Thriller’ singer is so determined to repeat his previous success with his new album he has removed all personal distractions - including his kids, 11-year-old Prince Michael, 10-year-old Paris and six-year-old Prince Michael II – while he works.
A source close to the singer said: ‘Michael has banned his kids from the recording studio. He realises this is very important and doesn’t want any distractions.’
The 49-year-old musician – who was rumoured to be dating his children’s nanny Grace Rwaramba - has also ruled out having any relationships until he finishes the LP.
The source added: ‘He’s not going to be involved in any personal relationships with women until he gets this record done. He has dumped the nanny - she’s not around any more.’
Michael started working on the record with music producers RedOne and Akon in Las Vegas on Wednesday.
