Michael Jackson - Don't Be Messin' 'Round

As everyone knows, Michael Jackson's estate is currently in the process of planning the re-release of 'Bad' to celebrate the album's 25th anniversary. The album will be remastered/repackaged and packed full of new remixes, unreleased material and a DVD of Micheal's live show at Wembley Arena during his 'Bad' tour. Any MJ fan should be very happy to hear this as it's classic sounding Michael from the 80s, and has me excited to hear what else they have hidden in the locker.

Michael Jackson's back catalogue stolen by hackers

So it seems nothing is safe on the Internet any more. A year after they paid £250 million for the seven-year rights of Michael Jackson's music, news has broken that Sony music suffered its second major security breach in a year, with thieves targeting songs and unreleased material by the superstar singer. Apparently they have downloaded more than 50,000 music files, worth £160million, making it the biggest ever cyber attack on a music company. The contract with Jackson's estate also allowed them to release 10 new albums, including material from studio sessions produced during the making of some of the star's biggest albums. Check out the full story HERE.

George Benson - Lady In My Life (Michael Jackson Tribute)

Grammy-winning legend George Benson is back, and this time brings his guitar to the forefront of his new album, Guitar Man. The 12-song collection sees him return to his roots, when he was one of the World's most well respected Jazz guitarists, but as with this Michael Jackson tribute, it's clear that the thoughts of his pop fans are never far from his mind. Who needs to sing when you can make a guitar speak like this?! Nothing but love for this man.
