Will.i.am Reveals Jacko's Last Album: Dance Music

Singer kept demos extremely private

Share

(Newser) – Michael Jackson plotted his comeback album with Will.i.am, and the Black Eyed Peas frontman now tells the Mirror it was going to be “something Michael has never done before—a dance music album.” The King of Pop kept the demos “under lock and key,” but Will.i.am heard them. “It was going to be out of this world," he said.

“He was a perfectionist and didn't want anyone to hear it until it was ready,” he continued, adding that Jackson’s choreographer recently “came over and told me Michael wanted to get the Peas to open his gigs at the O2. Man, that would have been so amazing. Imagine us together on stage. Awesome.”

He called me to wish me happy Father's Day even though I don't have any children. I told him, 'OK, I will grab my crotch and wish myself happy Father's Day for all my unborn children.'" - Will.i.am, remembering his last conversation with Michael Jackson

I hope the unreleased music that MJ had locked away provides for his children for many many years, they at least deserve that much and more as all children do. Reply
