Three Michael Jackson songs were removed from the streaming site after a long claim that Sony and someone else was the property of the late singer, it was announced on Wednesday.
“Breaking News,” “Monster,” and “Keep Your Head Up” will be featured on the 2010 compilation album Michael, released a year after Jackson died of a drug-related cardiac arrest.
Some fans have long argued that the vocals on the track actually belong to an American session singer named Jason Maratoxi, which Sony denied.

They added in a joint statement that distance has nothing to do with whether the song is original or not.
“In this activity, you shouldn’t read anything about the reliability of the truck, it’s time to get out of the confusion around the truck,” they said.
Sony and Jackson Real Estate added that the other seven trucks of “Michael” are still available.
After its release in December 2010, “Michael” was accused of performing an unpublished song “recently completed using music from the original vocal track and music produced by an acclaimed producer”.
Jackson is said to have written and recorded in 2007 with producers Edward Casio and James Porto. However, enthusiastic fans and some in Jackson’s family have expressed doubts, forcing Sony to issue a statement saying they have “complete confidence” in Jackson’s voice. ..According to TMZ, skeptics said the song was actually sung by Malachi Book.
His manager later denied it, claiming the post was fake, the report said. In 2014, fan Vera Serova filed a class action lawsuit against Sony, Jackson’s real estate, Casio and Port in California for lying to consumers.
The appellate court ruled in favor of Sony and Real Estate in 2018 and exempted them from their activities. According to TMZ, Serova later appealed to the California Supreme Court. Judge Jackson did not decide whether or not
