With the 25th anniversary of “Thriller” right around the corner, Jackson releases a video thanking his fans.
The Associated Press reports that Michael Jackson’s record label, Sony-BMG, released a video in which the singer thanked fans for the success of Thriller. A new version of Thriller will be released Tuesday marking the 25th anniversary of the album. The disc will feature new collaborations with Kanye West, Akon, Fergie and will.i.am.
In Jackson’s video message, the singer reminisced on his journey towards record-breaking success, stating: "It's hard to believe that 25 years ago Quincy Jones and I embarked on an album named Thriller. The album spawned such hits as "Billie Jean," "Beat It" and "Thriller," and introduced the moonwalk to fans all around the world. "To be able to say that Thriller still holds the record as the biggest selling album of all time is just mind-blowing. I have you, my fans, throughout the world to thank for this achievement," said Jackson, who has sold more than 750 million albums worldwide.
In his last words to fans, Jackson said: "There is still much more to come for Michael Jackson. My passion for music has never stopped. ... It's my hope that Thriller continues to live on for each new generation to discover."
