Michael Jackson's first posthumous release has been scheduled. The song "This Is It" will be released on October 12. Sony Music Entertainment has not offered many details about the song, but did say that it includes backing vocals by Jackson's brothers.

Two weeks after the song's release, Sony will also release a 2-disc set to coincide with the documentary movie depicting Jackson rehearsing for his London concerts. He died before he could publicly take the stage once again.

The album will include some of Jackson's greatest hits, and the second disc will feature previously unreleased versions of his songs as well as a spoken-word poem by Jackson called "Planet Earth."
