The world came to a standstill when the legendary Michael Jackson passed away in 2009. The King of Pop’s influence was undeniable, and there will never be another like him. Although he left us too soon, his music lives on, with fans having been treated to posthumous albums, the first being the self-titled “Michael” in 2010.

Now, word is spreading that a tribute album is currently in the works, featuring unreleased songs from the icon’s music vault. Reports suggest that global K-pop sensation BTS (방탄소년단) will be among the artists contributing to the project. Here’s what we know so far:

According to The Irish Sun, Michael Jackson had been working on an album at Grouse Lodge Studios in Ireland in 2006, which has been described as the “next Thriller”. It remains unclear whether the singer recorded demos for the tracks, but the report indicates that the songs were at least written. Unfortunately, the sessions were never completed, as Jackson left the country and tragically passed away 3 years later.

The studio’s owner, Paddy Dunning, told The Irish Sun that they decided to proceed with the project as a tribute album, recruiting artists to record the songs originally intended for the King of Pop. The Estate of Jackson has reportedly approved the album’s release and among the artists contributing is K-pop boyband BTS.

“The sessions started last year, and we’ve already had BTS over with us, recording one of the songs. There are about 10 more, written especially for Michael by the collaborators he worked with in Ireland, including producer Rodney Jerkins and rapper Nephew, who have signed up for the project,” Paddy revealed.

Although news of the collaboration has received mixed reactions from both BTS and Michael Jackson fans, members of the K-pop group have previously cited the legendary performer as one of their musical inspirations. They have also paid tribute to his music and iconic choreography in their own performances.

With this in mind, if the reports are true, there should be little doubt that BTS will do the track justice. What do you think about this rumoured collaboration? Who else do you think will be part of this tribute album?

Update (Tuesday, 5th August 2025)
