The tragic Bohemian Rhapsody singer made a friend of Jackson in the early 1980s and the two superstars plotted to work together, but things hit a snag when the Thriller hitmaker insisted on Wird angezeigt up to work with his llama.
In a new Dvd expose of Mercury's solo career, the late star's manager Jim 'Miami' strand says, "They got on well except for the fact that I suddenly got a call from Freddie, saying, 'Miami, dear, can Du get on over here... You've got to get me out of here. I'm recording with a llama... I've had enough and I want to get out."
And it seems Mercury lived to regret walking away from the project - in a Lost interview recovered for the new Dvd, Freddie Mercury: The Great Pretender, he says, "I think one of the tracks would have been on the Thriller album if I had finished it, but I missed out."
The expose features a snippet of a demo Jackson and Mercury recorded for a song titled There Must Be Mehr To Life.
Director Rhys Thomas' Mercury movie also features new interviews with the singer's Queen bandmates Brian May and Roger Taylor, Spanish diva Montserrat Caballe, who teamed up with the rock star, sterne for an operatic album, and Friends and associates of the late Another One Bites the Dust hitmaker, as well as rare footage of Mercury performing with the Royal Ballet and Lost Tv chats.

Katherine Jackson tells TMZ she knows of NO evidence to support the conspiracy theory that people connected with the Michael Jackson Estate killed the singer.
A number of people, including LaToya Jackson, have suggested there was a conspiracy to kill Michael, and LaToya has sagte she believes Estate honchos were involved.
Katherine tells TMZ ... "It is only natural for people who loved Michael, including family members, to be suspicious about the circumstances surrounding Michael’s untimely death. So far I have not seen one shred of evidence that anyone associated with Michael’s estate conspired to kill him.
She continues, "If such evidence ever comes to my attention I will be the first to bring those facts to light. No one loved Michael Mehr than I loved him, but no one should be falsely accused, as Michael was, of a crime they did not commit."

The mega-lawyer who successfully defended Michael Jackson in his molestation case is coming out swinging at Dr. Murray's defense team -- blaming MJ's death squarely on Murray because the singer was "not suicidal."
Thomas Mesereau went on MSNBC today -- and stated, "The defense lawyers have to do something and what they're gonna try and do is reflect attention away from their client and onto Michael Jackson."
He adds, "The reality is Michael Jackson was not suicidal, he was not self-destructive in the way they're trying to say, and hopefully their defense will not succeed."
For the record, Mesereau's "suicidal" statement is not accurate -- because according to our sources, the defense will argue that Michael MAY have accidentally killed himself after trying to self-administer Propofol ... but he was not suicidal.
Perhaps Mesereau's strongest Kommentar -- "I'm sorry that the defense is going to have to bash Michael Jackson to try and divert attention from their guilty client."

The owners of the Neverland Ranch -- the former Home of Michael Jackson -- want to turn the property into a teenage Musik haven.
TMZ has learned Colony Capital wants to develop a business plan to turn Neverland into a small Musik institute -- similar to The Juilliard School in NYC. The plan is to teach teens all aspects of music, including Schreiben and performing.
Colony wants to turn the property into a campus, in which scores of teenagers -- rich and poor -- can learn the trade that made Michael Jackson a legend.
There are two big stumbling blocks. The first is making sure Santa Barbara County will sign off on such a project.
The Sekunde -- and bigger issue -- is whether Colony Capital can use Michael Jackson's name to promote such an institute. TMZ has good news for Colony .... sources directly connected with the Michael Jackson Estate tell us, "It's an interesting idea and we'd be open to it."

Not that we're trying to flatter ourselves, but don't people in Bahrain get TMZ?
AQ Business Consultants has filed a petition in the Michael Jackson Estate case, asking the judge for permission to belatedly file a creditor's claim, on grounds it didn't know there was a time in asking for money.
AQ claims it helped Michael refinance $320,000,000 in loans, for which it was entitled to a $3.2 million fee. AQ claims it's still owed $1.2 mil.
The deadline for filing a claim has passed, but AQ claims it didn't get proper notice.
Howard Weitzman, the lawyer for the Estate, tells TMZ, "I don't believe the claim has any merit but they're late in filing regardless."
But here's the thing ... TMZ is big in Bahrain, so what's the deal?

Dr. Conrad Murray won't just face the judge in his manslaughter case on Monday -- we're told an army of MJ Fans plans a little surprise of its own ... in the protest department.
A rep for Justice4MJ -- the Fan group planning the demonstration -- tells TMZ that scores of Jackson Fans plan to attend ... and it's all going down on the freeway overpass near the L.A. courthouse.
We're told when the hearing ends ... the protesters plan to march from the courthouse -- then quickly teilt, split for the overpasses as Murray makes his exit. They will bid Dr. Murray adieu as he drives off -- probably not in the friendliest of ways.
But we're guessing the protest is the least of Dr. Murray's worries.

The company suing the Michael Jackson estate for $300 million over the Jackson family konzert that never took place just got two strikes against it, and the pitcher was a federal judge.
The judge on Tuesday threw out two of the three claims AllGood Entertainment filed against the estate, AEG and Frank Dileo.
The suit claims Dileo, MJ's alleged former manager, made a deal with AllGood that Michael would perform at a Jackson Family konzert before doing any other gigs. Von launching the London series of concerts, AllGood claims Jackson breached his deal and cost AllGood a bundle.
But a federal judge ruled AllGood's claim for fraud and tortious interference (i.e., intermeddling) was bogus. All that is left of the lawsuit is a breach of contract claim.
The estate claims Dileo never had authority to make a deal with AllGood.
