On the new music front - folk say he's working on new material, but I'm not holding my breath for a new album. I just can't see it happening. He's been "working on a new album" for the past 10 years and nothing. Not even demos. As with his lil' sister Janet, he just doesn't seem to care about his career anymore. I'd love to hear new material from Michael; but fortunately he's left us with a legacy of awesome music which stands the test of time and always will. I play tracks from Off the wall and Thriller on a regular basis. Those albums will never get old for me and they sound as hot as anything that's released over the past 2 years.
Happy 50th Birthday Michael!! You old n***a you!
