King of Pop Michael Jackson’s songs are set to be used for a new show developed by circus troupe Cirque de Soleil. The legacy of the late artiste, who passed away in June 2009, will be set to an acrobatic live show by the Canadian dramatic circus troupe, whom Michael was a keen admirer of, reported Contactmusic.

The show will be staged in Las Vegas from 2012.“We are excited to be partners with them to give Michael’s fans a unique way to hear, see and feel his music,” said John Branca, co-executor of MJ’s estate. The circus has earlier developed productions in memory of icons Elvis Presley and The Beatles.
