Lama prevented duet from Jackson and Mercury
Michael Jackson should actually be heard on the Solo album by Queen singer Freddie Mercury. However, according to a report, the collaboration failed at Jackson’s preference for exotic animals.
The duet of music greats Michael Jackson (1958-2009) and Freddie Mercury (1946-1991) failed because of a report during his lifetime. Michael Jackson should be heard in three songs on the solo album “Mr. Bad Guy” (1985) by Queen singer Mercury, as the “New York Post” reported. However, nothing came of it because Jackson brought a Lama named Louie to the studio.
As the then bassist Jo Burt said to the US Boulevardzeitung, the animal visit was too much for the Queen singer: “I think Freddie didn’t like it,” the musician was quoted.
According to the report, Mercury published a solo version of “There must be more to life can” on “Mr. Bad Guy”. The duet with Michael Jackson was released in 2014 on an album by Queen. Jackson recorded “State of Shock” with Mick Jagger.
Michael Jackson had his own zoo
Michael Jackson had a preference for animals: on his Neverland ranch near Santa Barbara in the US state of California, he set up a zoo. In a bed in his master’s house, Schimpanse slept Bubbles, sat at the table for meals together and accompanied Jackson on tours and too many camera mines.
Jeff Koons even immortalized Jackson and Bubbles in a work of art. When the monkey became more and more aggressive, the musician separated from the animal in 2003.
