Michael Jackson was working on a song about climate change in the days before his death, his friend Deepak Chopra has disclosed.
Writing on The Huffington Post, the US news and commentary website, Chopra said that Jackson had called him in an "upbeat, excited mood" on Tuesday.
"The voice message said, 'I've got some really good news to share with you.' He was writing a song about the environment, and he wanted me to help informally with the lyrics, as we had done several times before," he said.
"When I tried to return his call, however, the number was disconnected. (Terminally spooked by his treatment in the press, he changed his phone number often.)
"So I never got to talk to him, and the music demo he sent me lies on my bedside table as a poignant symbol of an unfinished life."

How pathetic is the world press? Surely there are more pressing issues in the world today than Jacko’s death?

You watch, they will take what ever material Micheal Jackson wrote, get a group of has beens liberal artist and get a 100 voice choir and make a song of it and it will be the global warming alarmist anthem that we will hear on the radio and TV for the next 2 years 24/7 ...

A climate change song??? I went from not caring about him to being glad he’s dead. Yes, that’s mean, but I’ve had it with him. Did the chorus include the words ‘cap’ and ‘trade’? Sorry again, fed up.

Which is better for the environment?

Oh Lord you are probably right. I still am shocked that his death is the ONLY news that is on all the news networks. I mean I guess he gave us a few good songs in 1983, but come on, he has not had another hit since then. He was a Freak!!!!

Definitely burial. Cremation would require a carbon credit.
