Three songs from the album 'Michael', a posthumous collection of Michael Jackson's hits, have been removed from streaming services because they are suspected of containing fake vocals attributed to the 'King of Pop.'

< p>“Michael Jackson's heirs and record company Sony Music have decided to remove the songs 'Breaking News', 'Monster' and 'Keep Your Head Up' from the album released in 2010 to end the debate about them once and for all. the songs,” said a statement from Sony Music and Jackson's estate regarding the decision to remove the songs from streaming platforms.

The announcement did not address persistent whispers that the songs may contain some vocals that are not from Jackson, who died in 2009. “The focus remains where it belongs — on exciting news and projects honoring Jackson's legacy, among these include the Tony Award-winning Broadway musical 'MJ', the wildly popular show 'ONE' in Las Vegas, an upcoming biopic and the campaign to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the best-selling album Thriller in November,'' the statement added.

In its decision, the appeals court noted that neither Michael Jackson's estate administrators nor Sony recorded the songs themselves, so they could not have an opinion on who contributed vocals.
