New Jacko song to be released

Star's brothers provide backing vocals

Michael Jackson died on 25 June

An unheard Michael Jackson single will be released next month.

This Is It - which is out on 12 October - will feature backing vocals by the late singer's brothers.

The track takes its name from the comeback gigs Michael was planning at London's O2 arena.

‘This song only defines what the world already knows - that Michael is one of God's greatest gifts,' John McClain, co-executor of his estate, tells the BBC.

Sony Music are also bringing out a new two-disc album of Michael's greatest hits and unreleased versions of some of his best-loved tunes.

This Is It will be included on the album and in the closing credits of a forthcoming documentary of the same name.
