    <br /><br />[size=10pt]Thanks for this news Australian  :) !!!<br />I have a couple a things to say about this news :mrgreen: .First of all this news is not new and I don't know why it keeps re-emerging over and over again ,lol  :mrgreen:  :lol:  albino/  .This people must be kinda goofy or they are simply indecisive  geek/ .Here is what Roger Taylor said the last time about this songs,and this was in 2 december  :mrgreen: :[/size]<br /><br />  [size=10pt]  “I’ve got to tell you, there won’t be an album. There’s just not enough and the last thing I want to do is have a sort of barrel-scraping exercise. But there’s a couple of great tracks that Freddie recorded with Michael Jackson that Brian and I are working on and they are good. So at some point they will surface I think when we feel it’s a good moment. I don’t really want to ride any sort of wave there. So that’s an interesting thing, but that will be probably later some point next year.”<br /><br />    Roger Taylor[/size]

    [size=24pt]Michael Jackson Duets With Freddie Mercury Set for Release[/size]<br /><br /><br />rvbq6h.jpg<br /><br /><br /><br /><br />By Erin Coulehan | Rolling Stone – 6 hours ago<br /><br />Three duets that Michael Jackson recorded with Queen singer Freddie Mercury 30 years ago will finally see an official release later this year. According to The Times of London, the demos were recorded in 1983 at Jackson's home studio, but a larger project never came to fruition due to the singers' conflicting schedules. <br /><br />"They were great songs, but the problem was time – as we were both very busy at that period," Mercury said in an excerpt from Mercury: An Intimate Biography of Freddie Mercury.<br /><br />Jackson told Rolling Stone that he was a fan of Mercury's, and that Mercury had reached out to him about the possibility of working together on the Jacksons' next album in 1983.<br /><br />A studio session was set up and the two recorded three songs, but Queen's manager, Jim "Miami" Beach, recalls that the duo's meeting was a bit tumultuous. "Mercury rang me and said: 'Miami, dear, can you get over here? You've got to get me out of here, I'm recording with a llama,'" said Beach. <br /><br />The songs,"There Must Be More to Life Than This," "State of Shock" and "Victory" (which provided the title of the Jacksons' 1984 album), were recorded but weren't cleared for release until 2011.<br /><br />Queen guitarist Brian May confirmed that the tracks will be released this fall, and added that the songs are "exciting, challenging, emotionally taxing. But cool."<br /><br /><br /> :icon_razz:
