Michael Jackson will make a surprise comeback at the American Football
Super Bowl this weekend in TV advertisements to promote the 25th
anniversary of Thriller.
The star is to be honored in a Pepsi commercial, based on the ghoulish
Thriller video, which will air during the showdown game between the New
England Patriots and the New York Giants on Sunday (03Feb08).
The move is a marketing ploy to promote a special anniversary version
of the album - and will be followed by a "major TV, radio, online and
outdoor advertising campaign", reports the New York Post.
Jackson is also rumored to be among the stars appearing at the Grammy
Awards on 10 February (08) alongside Akon, will.i.am and Fergie.
