Three Michael Jackson songs removed from streaming sites due to disputed vocals

Three Michael Jackson songs have been removed from streaming platforms, following claims they feature faked vocals.

The songs in question are Monster, Keep Your Head Up and Breaking News, all of which featured on the 2010 compilation album Michael.

They have been the subject of a court case with claims the vocals are by a session singer and not Michael Jackson. 

Sony Music and Jackson's estate denied the removal from streaming platforms was to do with their authenticity.

In a statement, they described the action as "the simplest and best way to move beyond the conversation associated with these tracks once and for all".

"The focus remains where it belongs - on the exciting new and existing projects celebrating Michael Jackson's legacy", including the Broadway musical MJ and a recently-announced biopic.

The album ‘Michael’ was the first release of unreleased music to emerge after Jackson's death in 2009.
