Michael Jackson left a hundred unreleased songs

The songs were, according to his representative, on hard drives that his sister LaToya took

Michael Jackson has left an unpublished musical legacy greater than first thought. The singer kept about a hundred songs on some computer hard drives that he had in his house, according to the musician's representative, Frank DiLeo. It seems that his sister LaToya took possession of them after the death of the artist.

DiLeo has explained that among the unreleased songs, many from the 1980s, are some of those excluded from the Bad album (1987). In addition, it would contain songs recorded with artists such as Ne-Yo, Akon, and Will.i.am of the Black Eyed Peas (whose spokesman has said that the singer does not have any duplicates of his work with Jackson).

The records were in the rented mansion in Holmby Hills, California, where Jackson died suddenly in June. Hours later, the family went to the house to claim all its contents, and LaToya took the discs, according to Rolling Stone.

DiLeo has stated that he was fairly certain the hard drives were at the family's Hayvenhurst compound in Encino, California. "Lawyers will send letters" to retrieve the drives so the contents can be added (to the estate), DiLeo added. . An email sent to LaToya Jackson's representative has gone unanswered and a family spokesperson has not been immediately available.

"They came and took everything," DiLeo said in the magazine's issue due out on Friday. "They thought that Michael owned everything, so they even took rented furniture. And those are the ones who are going to control his assets?" He added.

Jackson left 40% of his estate in his will to his mother, Katherine, 79, who wants more control and is wary of the two lawyers who oversee the late singer's dealings.
