"Life of an Icon" new dvd
The cover for the DVD for Michael Jackson: The Life of an Icon has been released today. The DVD and Blu-ray will be released on October 31st, 2011 from Universal Pictures International Home Entertainment.
New York, NY - The first official single from the forthcoming Michael Jackson album MICHAEL will be released globally on Monday, November 15th at 12:01am EST. The song entitled Hold My Hand will be unveiled on www.michaeljackson.com and for sale digitally thereafter.
Hold My Hand, a duet with Akon, is a song they recorded in 2007. A handwritten note from Michael belonging to his Estate indicated his desire that Hold My Hand be the first single on his next project. However, in its unfinished state, the song leaked out in 2008. Akon recently completed the new and final production of Hold My Hand.
Akon comments, The world was not ready to hear Hold My Hand when it leaked a couple years ago. We were devastated about it. But its time has definitely come; now in its final state, it has become an incredible, beautiful, anthemic song. Im so proud to have had the chance to work with Michael, one of my all time idols.
On December 14th, Epic Records in conjunction with the Estate of Michael Jackson, will release the much-anticipated new album MICHAEL. The album contains ten tracks, produced by an esteemed group of producers along with Michael Jackson. While primarily focused on songs that Michael worked on recently, there are also earlier compelling tracks.
MICHAEL is the first release in nine years of new material by one of musics most beloved icons whose artistry continues to touch new generations of fans. The album marks another release under the new agreement between the Estate of Michael Jackson and Sony Music announced in March that continues the labels 35-year relationship with Michael and his music. During that time, Michael sold hundreds of millions of records, had 13 #1 singles and released the pop culture phenomenon Thriller, which remains musics all-time bestselling album with more than 100 million copies sold worldwide.

Michael Jackson - Induction into Dance Hall of Fame
Michael Jackson - Induction into Dance Hall of Fame August 14-15, 2010 in Saratoga Springs NY. What an honor for the King of Pop to be recognized for his dancing and choreography in this way.
The Holmby Hills mansion where Michael Jackson overdosed on Propofoland died is back on the market for a cool $28 mil -- but the owners are asking for roughly $10 million less than they did before MJ kicked the bucket.
The 17,171 square foot home on N. Carolwood Drive -- which includes 7 bedrooms, a 7-car garage, and 13 toilets -- was officially put up for sale on Monday ... with an asking price of $28,995,000.
Sources close to the estate tell TMZ that several MJ fans have already expressed interest -- possibly in an attempt to get a sneak peek inside -- but the owners have required all potential buyers to go through an "extensive pre-qualifying check" before they can even walk in the door.
Back in 2008, the property owner -- Ed Hardy CEO Hubert Guez -- tried selling the place for $38 million ... but when that didn't work out, he agreed to let MJ live in the home while he rehearsed for the "This Is It" tour.
According to RealEstalker.com, Guez had recently tried to rent out the property for $300,000 per month ... but ultimately decided he would try and get rid of it all together, with the discounted price tag.
So far, it's unclear if Guez is entertaining any serious offers.
Michael Jackson collection featuring 10 unreleased songs will be released this November, a rep for the Jackson estate exclusively tells Rolling Stone.
At the time of his death Michael Jackson reportedly left hard drives filled with unheard music, much of it recorded during the King of Pop's '80s peak.
Jackson's manager Frank DiLeo told RS that he estimates that Jackson's vaults contain more than 100 completed and unreleased songs, including collaborations with Akon, Will.i.am and Ne-Yo. "There are a couple of songs we recorded for the Bad album that we had to cut that are just sensational," DiLeo said.
"Every time that Jackson recorded, he over-recorded. He would record anywhere from 20 to 30 songs for each album," former Sony Music CEO told RS last year. Any of them could have been as big a hit as the ones that came out." One of the most noteworthy tracks was a Thriller outtake titled "Don't Be Messin' Around." Other candidates include any of the reported five songs that Jackson recorded with Will.i.am.
Last year, a pair of unreleased Jackson tracks, "Another Day" and "A Place With No Name," leaked, and recently Rodney Jerkins, who co-produced Jackson's 2001 album Invincible, revealed that he's currently working on the collection
