London, Jan 4 (IANS) Pop star Michael Jackson wants to end an almost 24-year-long feud with legend Sir Paul McCartney by leaving his share of the Beatles back catalogue to him in his will.According to mirror.co.uk, McCartney was upset with Jackson when he outbid him in 1985 to win the ownership of the 350 million-pound publishing rights for the whole Lennon-McCartney songbook.
But Jackson who is reportedly struggling with a serious genetic lung disease wants to make peace. He has drawn up a new will where McCartney will get control of the Beatles songbook when Jackson dies.
Sources close to Jackson said he always regretted having a falling out with McCartney. A source added: “Michael is worried about his health so he decided it was time to look at his finances. Most of his estate has been divided up between his three children. But Michael told his lawyers that he was sad as he no longer talks to Sir Paul and said he wanted to make things right.”
The source added: “Michael is suffering serious back and leg pain. He spends a lot of time in bed and a wheelchair. He weighs just over seven stone and is very frail. He’s also had a nasty bout of emphysema and there have been reports he has another lung disease.”

When did it happen that black folk owed whites folks anything in their wills? Give me a break - the highest bidder won. What is there to be mad about? MJ had his own family to be concerned about - Paul needs to get over it. If Paul would stop marrying so many “fake-me-out” brides, he would have more money to buy his own music back.

Oh brother, here we go again. What on earth does this have to do with blacks owing whites or whites owing blacks! YOU get over it!! Paul McCartney put his heart and soul into his music, and the thought of paying MJ to be able to sing these songs was and still is outrageous! And - SO MANY fake me out brides? Give ME a break! If you hate Paul, just say so and stop making it a black and/or white issue. It’s cowardly at this point.

PAUL McCARTNEY IS A JERK. He is also a LIAR and will be found out behind Michael Jackson’s MURDER!!!!! Like it or not PAUL is a HATEFUL conniving SCUM BAG…ANYONE who can HATE after turning down bidding on owning their own songs for 25 years is HATEFUL. PAUL is NOW “Touring” the U.S. He thinks he will get his hands on those publishing rights ..MICHAEL SAID that they were NEVER going to be for sale. Michael also said that there were some people who wanted him dead because of the catalogues.Remember the following names: PAUL MCCARTNEY, TOMMY MATTOLA, TOM SNEDDON, JOHN BRANCA, JOHN MCCLAIN,RANDY
PHILLIPS, Dr. Tohme Tohme, QUACK DR. Conrad Murray
THE TRUTH WILL PREVAIL!!!!!! YOU ALL WILL BE FOUND OUT. THE LIGHT HAS SHINED IN THE DARKNESS
of YOU WHISPERED CONSPIRACY.

Hello BN…my comment is based on extensive research. Here’s some more of my research..Paul getting the catalogues from Michael’s will is TOTALLY FALSE. It is a media made rumor…Please read@http://tr.im/t0Ek
P.S…BN..stay tuned as the real truth of who’s behind the conspiracy of Michael Jackson’s murder unfold…

BN…my comments ar based on extensive research. The information in this article you have suggested is TOTALLY FALSE. Michael has not left anything to Paul McCartney. Please read additional information@http://tr.im/t0Ek
P.S. Stay tuned …as the conspiracy unfolds…Paul McCartney and ANYONE attached to those catalogues are the catalyst to Michael’s demise. MICHAEL WAS HATED FOR BEING THE ENTERTAINER THAT HE WAS AND FOR OWNING THOSE CATALOGUES WORTH 1.5 billion. The child molestatin accusations, drug addictions from pain killers were all a part of the plan to destroy Michael Jackson. Michael knew there were some people who wanted to kill him. He also KNEW who wanted to kill him.
