The infamous Cascio tracks that were on the first posthumous album of the King of Pop released in 2010, have been removed from some music platforms
The tracks “Breaking News”, “Keep Your Head Up”, and “Monster” seems to not appear on certain platforms anymore
Vera Serova has been taking on Sony Music and the Estate of Michael Jackson in court for years after the release of the album which included the 3 disputed songs.
It’s a victory for the fans. Three songs featured on Michael, Michael Jackson’s posthumous album, which fans have suspected since its release of not being performed by the King of Pop, has disappeared from streaming platforms in recent hours. Sony Music, which owns the catalog of the singer who died in 2009, had to withdraw the titles in question, breaking news, Keep Your Head Up and Monster this Wednesday, starting with Apple Music and Deezer.
This sudden withdrawal is undoubtedly the result of a long lawsuit led on the initiative of a particularly motivated fan, Vera Serova, against Sony and the producers of the record.
In 2014, Vera Serova launched a “class action”, a class action, against the producer of Michael Jackson. His complaint was directed against Eddie Cascio, friend of Michael Jackson (and producer with his brothers of the latest album of the star), and his production company, against James Porte, author of the songs, and against Sony Music Entertainment, the record company of the King of Pop. Since then, from appeal to appeal on both sides, the trial has continued.
So far the 3 fake songs have been removed from Itunes, youtube and apple music but still on Spotify. It is unclear why this is happening now and we have contacted the Estate for comment.
Finally the 7-track album is now at perfection and we hope that it will be re-issued as all other songs on the album deserve so much loving!
The tracks have also been removed from Deezer according to my account when I logged on to check after reading this news! Thanks!
