Michael Jackson was rushed to a hospital emergency room on Tuesday (February 15) suffering from the flu, according to CNN.
The singer was en route to his trial for child-molestation charges when he fell ill and was admitted to Marian Medical
Center in Santa Maria, California. A fan waiting near the medical center reportedly saw the singer walk into the hospital unassisted.
Jury selection for the trial has been postponed until February 22. Judge Rodney Melville had asked Jackson to be present during jury selection so jurors could grow accustomed to the singer's presence in the courtroom.
MTV News will bring you more information on this story as it develops.
