A new Michael Jackson album will be released next month.
The singer died on June 25, 2009 and a record of his previously unheard material has been eagerly anticipated.
It's now been confirmed that Immortal will be available to buy from November 21. The release is in conjunction with Cirquedu Soleil's new show Michael Jackson The Immortal World Tour.
The record includes re-workings of some of the King of Pop's biggest tracks, mash-ups and pieces of songs which weren't included on previous LPs. Among them are a new version of Jackson 5 hit ABC and a choir who Jackson worked with for They Don't Really Care About Us.
Two versions of Immortal will be available to buy - a single album and a deluxe two disc record.
Michael Jackson The Immortal World Tour kicked off in Montreal on Sunday and will wrap in Chicago in July 2012.
The show has been given the go ahead by Jackson's family, and some of them were in the 13,000-strong audience for the premiere. The star's mother Katherine Jackson, brothers Tito and Jackie and children Prince, Paris and Blanket all attended.
The show saw acrobats perform to many of Jackson's tunes, and there was even a recreation of the famous 'Giving Tree' he had in the garden of his Neverland Ranch.
Jackson died of acute Propofol intoxication and his personal physician Dr Conrad Murray has been charged with his involuntary manslaughter. He denies the allegations and is on trial in Los Angeles.
The court is due to hear from emergency room doctors who tried to help Jackson before declaring him dead today. There is also expected to be evidence from three of the doctor's ex-girlfriends.
