London, August 9 (ANI): A judge was said to have given the green light to several merchandising deals in relation to official Michael Jackson commemorative goods such as calendars and posters.
The deals were presented to Superior Court Judge Mitchell Beckloff in Los Angeles by the administrators of the singer’s estate, lawyer John Branca and music executive John McClain.
Jackson’s estate and Apple’s iTunes store were given the thumbs up and could sell songs and videos of Jermaine Jackson’s performance of “Smile”, reports the BBC.
Another hearing with Judge Beckloff has been slated to request that other deals be also cleared, including a film Jackson’s final rehearsals and preparations for his comeback gigs in London.
Jackson died aged 50 on June 25 from an apparent cardiac arrest at his Los Angeles home. (ANI)
