Sony Music Entertainment and the Michael Jackson estate are denying earlier reports the record company admitted this week to releasing three fake songs on the singer’s posthumous album.
Zia Modabber, of Katten Muchin Rosenman LLP, the attorney representing both Sony Music and the Jackson estate, said in a statement: “No one has conceded that Michael Jackson did not sing on the songs. The hearing Tuesday was about whether the First Amendment protects Sony Music and the Estate and there has been no ruling on the issue of whose voice is on the recordings.”
Modabber’s statement comes after multiple reports that the record company admitted to using a King of Pop impersonator on three songs in the “Michael” album, released in 2010.
The Jackson estate and Sony Music are fighting a class-action suit filed by a fan, Vera Serova, who claimed in 2014 the producers of the posthumous album had Jason Malachi sing in place of Jackson for the album, Vulture reported. – READ MORE
