Obviously there is something wrong at the component that the microphone plugs into, but beyond that all of the components of your system, amps, mixer, effects rack, whatever, have to be properly grounded and interconnected. If not you will at best suffer from a lot of noise and poor sound; at worst you'll go through singers like Spinal Tap went through drummers. It's not a matter of 'fixing' one component- it's a matter of making sure all your gear is properly hooked up. Once you're sure the grounding is OK from a power standpoint then you need to get the signal grounds in order- see RaneNote 110 Sound System Interconnection. Is it a big job? Yes. Worth the effort? It's why musicians and actors wait on tables but audio engineers are never unemployed.
