A hoard of stars including Madonna and Beyonce have been rumoured to appear on a tribute album for Michael Jackson.
The album, which is set to feature the likes of Whitney Houston, Usher, Stevie Wonder, Diana Ross and Lionel Richie will see the artists perform many of Jacko’s most well-known hits from his career which spanned almost five decades.
Britain’s Got Talent star Shaheen Jafargholi is also said to be appearing on the album after the Welsh schoolboy wowed the world at MJ’s memorial service with his rendition of the Smokey Robinson classic Who’s Loving You.
The memorial service at the Staples Center in LA last month is reportedly the main inspiration behind the tribute album after stars such as Mariah Carey and Usher performed cover versions of Jackson’s hits.
A source has said: "The idea came from the memorial concert. Many fans asked if cover versions would be released and it seemed a wonderful idea. Some of the biggest stars in the world have indicated they'd like to take part to pay their own respects and tributes to the King of Pop.”
"This covers album is sure to be a massive worldwide hit with fans and could raise a fortune for Michael's favourite charities."
A source has also told The Daily Star that the UK’s very own Robbie Williams is being lined up to deliver his rendition of the Jacko classic Man In The Mirror whilst his former band Take That are rumoured to be covering ABC, Working Day and Night or Don't Stop Til You Get Enough.
Although I would love to hear something "new" from Beyoncé, I don't know if this project is a good idea at all. Fergie already failed when appearing on the "Beat It" Remix so who knows how some songs will turn out. I mean you can't improve songs that are already classics, can you?
