From The London Times:

Duets between Michael Jackson and Freddie Mercury will be released officially in time for the autumn after a wait of three decades, Mercury’s bandmates have declared.

Brian May and Roger Taylor, the guitarist and drummer who played with Mercury in Queen, promised “something for folks to hear” in two months.

The two singers recorded three tracks at Jackson’s home studio in Encino, California, in 1983, but a project to release them foundered because the pair were unable to arrange a second session.

Rolling Stone also reported that the songs — ‘There Must Be More to Life Than This’, ‘State of Shock’ and ‘Victory’ — were recorded but weren’t cleared for release until 2011.

When asked more about the songs in question, Queen’s Brian May said that the music is “exciting, challenging, emotionally taxing. But cool.”

Not the best description I was hoping for, but oh well.
