Michael Jackson Tribute Album Planned

A tribute album to Michael Jackson is currently in the works by the producer of Jackson's historic Thriller & Bad albums, Quincy Jones. Apparently over two dozen R&B/hip-hop artists have been called upon for the project, though only the participation of Usher & John Mayer via a collaboration has been announced. Mariah Carey is also in talks to get involved. Unfortunately, it should be noted that Michael Jackson himself has no plans to contribute to the album at this time. The project is set to be released next spring. It sounds really cool, although there being nothing new from MJ on the album is a bummer.
