New Michael Jackson video debuts

Los Angeles - A new Michael Jackson music video is hitting the internet preceding the launch of a posthumous Jackson album.

The video, previewed by The Associated Press, debuts at midnight on Thursday 05:00GMT on worldwide websites, including MichaelJackson.com, said Jackson estate co-administrator John Branca.

It showcases Jackson's duet with Akon, Hold My Hand, recorded before the superstar's 2009 death. It's the first single release from the 10-song CD, Michael, launching on December 14.

The hyperkinetic, four-and-a-half-minute video shows Jackson in concert, Akon singing and dancing, sentimental scenes of children, families and old people holding hands and a woman weeping.

The song opens with the prescient line, "This life don't last forever ... so tell me what we're waiting for. ... Hold my hand. "
