It hasn't been the best week for Michael Jackson so far, but it's about to get even worse. The troubled singer will not be releasing his much-awaited charity single "What More Can I Give" due to a row over royalties.
The so-called King of Pop would have been due to reap the financial rewards of the tracked, which was meant to raise money for the families of victims of the 9/11 terrorist attacks on New York. However, Jackson has decided that he wishes to keep the copyright of the song and had no intention of donating the money raised from it to charity. The only 'charity' part of the charity single would be proceeds from the record sales in stores.
Fox News entertainment reporter Roger Friedman said: "Everyone on the CD is supposed to waive their fees too, including the musicians, performers and engineers. But rights to the music remain with him, and he would reap the financial rewards."
Not really the best way to go about getting the public back on his side, is it? [Toni Kelly]
