Translated (thanks to noumene @ MJJC)

We can exclusively reveal that Michael Jackson has agreed to attend the NRJ Music Awards next saturday (jan 26).

[French TV channel] TF1, [radio station] NRJ and Sony had been in talks with the singer for weeks.

But Jackson will not perform at the show, he will only receive a special honorary NRJ Award. He was meant to perform a duet with Akon, but Jackson eventually declined the offer.

His attendance at the show is part of the promotion of a rerelease of Thriller, 25 years later.

Loved every Megabyte of that video! The montage is among the best I've seen in a long time...and the message, rocks! :D

Call me an old cynic, but I seem to remember him saying "You ain't seen nothin' yet!"...and we didn't! :laugh:

I do think he means it this time though, we know he's got stuff planned for this year, so bring it on dude. :rock:
