Hard Drives Containing New Michael Jackson Tracks Go Missing!
Posted on Fri Aug 7th, 2009 10:24am PDT By X17 Staff
While it's great news that Michael Jackson had over 100 previously unreleased songs, no one seems to know where they went!
Jackson's manager Frank DiLeo told Rolling Stone that there were dozens and dozens of tracks on Jackson's hard drives (including many that were left off of 1987's "Bad"), but apparently La Toya Jackson has taken possession of the hard drives, and she's not exactly being cooperative with estate planners!
DiLeo tells the mag, "They backed up trucks, removing everything. They thought Michael owned it all, so they took even the rented furniture. That's who's going to run his estate?" In another interview with Reuters, DiLeo added that he was "pretty sure" the hard drives were at the Jackson family's compound in Encino, California, and that estate lawyers will be sending out letters to recover the drives.
The drives were in Jackson's rented Holmby Hills mansion, and just hours after the pop icon died, DiLeo alleges that LaToya grabbed the drives, which are believed to contain songs Jackson recorded with singers such as Ne-Yo, Akon, and will.i.am of the Black Eyed Peas.
A spokesperson for will.i.am said the singer did not have duplicates of his work with Jackson, and Jackson's reps haven't yet made any comment on the matter.
Hmm, wonder why the Jackson family is being so shady about this?
Think lawyers will be able to wrestle the hard drives away from the Jackson family?
