Jackson estate agrees record deal

With Sony having sold 31 million Jackson albums since his death last June the estate of Michael Jackson has agreed the biggest recording deal in history, worth more than $200m (£133m), with Sony Music, US reports say.

The deal looks set to cover a 10 album releases over seven years with previously unreleased material.

Jackson died at his Los Angeles home in June, aged 50 just prior to staging a series of comeback concerts in Britain.

Michael Jackson's death was ruled as homicide, mainly caused by the use of the anaesthetic Propofol.

With the contract with Sony worth up to $250m if certain conditions are met, the Wall Street Journal reported on Monday, citing sources close to the deal.

An official announcement is expected later.
