In The News : Freddie Mercury and Michael Jackson Duets Set For Release in 2012

Brian May, the guitarist of the legendary rock band Queen, has revealed that Michael Jackson's estate have given the band permission to release a series of duets which they recorded with Michael Jackson during the 1980s...

He told London's Evening Standard newspaper, "(They'll be ready) in the next year. We've been talking to Jackson's estate and they're happy."

Roger Taylor said: "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."
