A Michael Jackson imper- sonator has proven so convinc- ing that fans have called on him to get a 'DNA test' to prove he's not really the King of Pop back from the dead.
Sergio Cortes is a profes- sional Michael Jackson im- personator from Barcelona, Spain. His career pays tribute to the late singer, who passed away back in June 2009.
Cortes not only looks like the real deal, he also sounds like him - so much so, in fact, that some fans are convinced he is Jacko.
Announcing a new tour date in Thailand, Cortes released a video on Instagram to tell his 123,000 followers all the de- tails about when and where

he'd be performing.
As Jackson's hit 'Thriller'
plays in the background, Cortes said: "Hello to all Michael Jackson fans, come
and watch me perform at Hol- lywood Pattaya on December 23rd.
"I love you guys and see you there. I am Sergio Cortes, see you soon."
But many people weren't talking about the forthcoming show, they were busy propos- ing conspiracy theories that Cortes was actually the real- life Michael Jackson.
One person said: "Oh my god, you're not Sergio Cortès, you're Michael Jackson. Someone get his DNA."
Someone else added: "I need a DNA test, I'm sorry."
A third wrote: "You can't tell me this ain't the real Michael Jackson."
