The Estate got their wish.

Michael Jackson Estate Lawyers Get ‘Stolen’ Studio Tapes Pulled From Auction

Lawyers for the Michael Jackson estate quietly threatened to sue a pop culture collectibles website this week over plans to auction off unreleased Jackson studio recordings that the estate claimed were “unquestionably stolen,” resulting in the items being withdrawn from sale.

Last month, Gotta Have Rock and Roll said it planned to auction more than two dozen masters tapes purportedly recorded by Jackson during 1994 sessions at The Hit Factory, a famed New York City studio. The auction house called the tapes “incredibly rare unreleased recordings” and said each would eventually sell for as much as $4000.

But after correspondence from attorneys for the Jackson estate that was obtained by Billboard, including an email from well-known litigator Alex Spiro earlier this week that threatened to seek an immediate court restraining order, the tapes are no longer listed on the auction site.

Michael is joint 36th most searched person on Google in the United States for 2023. If I'm correct, he's the number one most searched deceased celebrity on Google in the US as well!

Incredible numbers after all this time and the Broadway musical must have a real influence on these numbers there too.

Lovely floral tributes for Michael at Forest Lawn for Christmas.

Is it true that his remains aren't in Forest Lawn but was cremated and the ashes scattered throughout Neverland? Or is it just a conspiracy theory by the fans?

Never heard that theory before, but I'm calling BS on it.

Religions are poison especially when they have sectarian ways control and psychologically torture its parishioners. I hope Michael was able to feel more at ease celebrating any holiday over the years with his loved ones. He deserved that after surviving such a sick and controlling sect.

And even though it made me feel sad he felt guilty celebrating Christmas, Elizabeth was so wholesome and loving with MJ and it warmed my heart. ❤️
