Will Michael Jackson End his Feud with Paul McCartney? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Michael Jackson will bid to end his long feud with music legend Paul McCartney by leaving him the Beatles back catalogue in his will, according to reports.

The former pals fell out in 1985 when Jackson beat McCartney and John Lennon's widow, Yoko Ono, in the race to snap up the rights to 200 of the Fab Four's hits. They collaborated on 1982 single The Girl is Mine, but have barely spoken since, with McCartney feeling he was betrayed by his friend.

The 66-year-old explained his frustration in a past interview, saying, "You know what doesn't feel very good, is going on tour and paying to sing all my songs. Every time I sing Hey Jude. I've got to pay someone".

Since the purchase, Jackson merged the catalogue with music giants Sony, and created SonyATV, of which he holds a 50 per cent share. And sources claim Jackson wants to leave his stake to McCartney or his children when he dies.

An insider tells British newspaper the Daily Mirror, "Michael told his lawyers he was sad he no longer talks to Sir Paul and said he wanted to make things right.

I still don't think their feud is going to be settled any time soon. His WILL? If Michael really wanted to get back in Paul's good graces, he'd offer back the catalog now.

I sure hope so.

Or even make a surprise about it.

I agree.

In a way this whole thing is actually Paul McCartney's fault. When they were friends Paul mentioned to Michael that a good way to fatten his income was to buy publishing rights to music, so Michael decides the buy the biggest catalog, the Beatles. Micahel even told Paul he was going to buy the catalog so it didnt come out of left field. That said if Michael wants to be back in Paul good graces he should at least offer him half of the publishing.

In his will?!?!?!?!

What if Paul dies before Michael.

In closing I cant say I feel too sorry for Paul, he has plenty of money to go around, just ask Heather Mills LOL

I think Paul would squeeze every bit of money from MJ like an orange. Until then, their relationship is officially over.

I did not even know Michael and Paul was Fighting

It's Paul's war tbh. So don't say will MICHAEL end it.

88survivor · 01-08-2009, 05:24 PM

With MJ in debt, it is no surprise to see him in this financial mess. Knowing that the economy is suffering, I am sure MJ would not be the richest man ever. Or alien in this planet.

It'll be interesting to see what happens now. Did Michael even HAVE a will??
