Did MJ record a song with Barry Gibb in early 2003?

According to a couple of news bits in the February 2003 archive at mjnewsonline.com, MJ and BG recorded an anti-war charity single. I'd forgotten all about it, but reading these jogged my memory. But if they did record a song, what happened to it? Admittedly, these reports are rather sketchy, so maybe it was just a rumor. Comments?

Pop superstar Michael Jackson is reportedly putting finishing touches to a new anti-war charity song with Bee Gee Barry Gibb.

The pair are close friends - Jackson accompanied Gibb to the funeral of his brother MAURICE last month - and sources say they have been preparing a fundraising duet.

A source tells the New York Daily News, “It’s an anti-war song that’s going to be released very soon. It’s for charity.”

According to various sources including the KOP Discussion Board the name of the new song recorded by Barry Gibb and Michael Jackson is titled “Prayer For Peace.” It is also said the song features a world wide famous choir.

It was rumoured to to be released late 2003.

Then MJ got his hands cuffed.

how many "charity songs" is MJ gonna record?? rolleyes

and what exactly is an anti-war charity song? Where does the money go to? The soldiers' families if they get killed? The families of the civilians who get killed?

MJ should just record an entire album of charity songs,get it out his system and move on lol
