Further to this, see the following tweet posted by Maxwell -

So. We've got early promotion for the 40th anniversary of Thriller. We've got Maxwell whom will be performing a rendition of 'The Lady In My Life' and 'promise' of a further press release tomorrow potentially offering further details for what The Estate has planned for celebrating Thriller 40.

This is out of nowhere, although expected somewhat - not quite yet. What can go wrong? Hopefully nothing can. We've got our fingers crossed, along with everything else.
