New Michael Jackson Single, Album in October

A new Michael Jackson single, 'This Is It,' will be released on October 12th, while the two-disc album of the same name will be released worldwide on October 26th. The album supports the music from the film 'This Is It,' which was compiled from rehearsal footage for Michael Jackson's 50-performance O2 tour that was canceled due to the artist's untimely death. The first disc includes two versions of the 'This Is It' single and the sequence of hits planned for the concert. The second disc features unreleased versions of additional Jackson hits and a previously unreleased poem entitled 'Planet Earth.'

The film 'This Is It' will be in theaters on October 28th for a limited run.

"This song only defines, once again, what the world already knows — that Michael is one of God's greatest gifts."

John McClain, co-producer of album
