Breaking News: Hear Jacko track

Make a change ... cover for the Michael album caused Prince to complain

 

 

THE first single from MICHAEL JACKSON'S posthumous album is being streamed on the late singer's official website.

Titled Breaking News, the track is a personal attack on the paparazzi in the wake of his high profile court cases.
Beginning with snippets of news coverage, it contains the lyrics: "Everybody's wanting a piece of Michael Jackson. Reporters stalking the moves of Michael Jackson."

Prince free ... The album cover with and without symbol

The track then asks: "Who is this bogeyman you're thinking of?"
And in a tragic twist the King of Pop, who died in June 2009 after an overdose of prescription drugs, claimed: "They want to write my obituary."
The vocals on the single have sparked speculation on some music websites.
A poll in the US found that only 53 per cent believed it to be Jacko's voice while 47 per cent thought it was phoney.
The artwork for the album, Michael, also caused a storm in PRINCE'S camp.
The original included the symbol once used by the Purple Rain singer as his stage name, and his reps demanded that Sony removed it as he had not given permission for use.
The album is released on December 13.
