And finally Jacko
By CMU Editorial | Published on Monday 29 June 2009
And finally in Jacko news (believe it or not, we do have non-Jacko related stories today too), Black Eyed Pea Will.i.am has been talking to the BBC about the new material Jackson had been working on prior to his death, some of which he had collaborated on. It’s not known whether any of that work will ever see the light of day.
Speaking to the Beeb at Glastonbury, Will.i.am said of the new material: “It was fresh. It was very demanding. It demanded all the people to the dancefloor. Of course, it was melodic. As he would say, juicy”. Asked where the new recordings were, he said that it was all on a computer owned by Jackson, adding that he wouldn’t have dared to take responsibility for the new recordings: “It’s one thing to lose a Black Eyed Peas hard drive. I move around a lot and to make songs with Michael Jackson and risk me losing that music, I didn’t want that responsibility. So he kept all the stuff that we worked on”.
And finally, finally, with news that Michael Jackson’s star on the Hollywood Walk Of Fame had become something of a shrine, fans flocked to the famous part of town to leave their own tributes. Except some got a bit confused and put their flowers and gifts next to the star belonging to another Michael Jackson, the LA talk show host. The confusion may have come about because the bit of the Walk Of Fame where Jacko’s star is located was closed on Friday night because of the near by premiere of the ‘Bruno’ film.
Commenting on the tributes left next to his star, Jackson the radio host wrote on his website: “I willingly loan it to him and, if it would bring him back, he can have it. He was a real star. Sinatra, Presley, The Beatles and Michael Jackson”.
