will.i.am 'won't release Jackson songs'

will.i.am has revealed that he has no plans to "leak" the new material he recorded with Michael Jackson.

The Black Eyed Peas singer insisted that he is not interested in cashing in on the demand for Jackson's music since he passed away last week.

"I don't know what I'm going to do with the songs but I won't leak them or give them to another artist," he told the Daily Star.

The rapper, who previously remixed the late King Of Pop's 1982 single 'The Girl Is Mine', recently claimed that he had completed a dance album with him.

Jackson's single 'Man In The Mirror' is on course to top the charts on Sunday, while a number of his albums are also expected to dominate the Top 10.
