Justin Timberlake: 'Michael Jackson wanted to duet on 'N Sync track'
Justin Timberlake has revealed that he almost collaborated with Michael Jackson over a decade ago, after the King of Pop heard an 'N Sync song that was originally penned for him.
The 'SexyBack' singer currently features on 'Love Never Felt So Good', the first track taken from Jackson's posthumous album Xscape, which premiered last week.

Speaking to Oprah Winfrey's OWN, Timberlake explained that he originally wrote the song 'Gone', which appears on 'N Sync's final album, for Jackson.
"We were having an A&R meeting for the third 'N Sync album at that time, and I said, 'Well, I have this other song, but I originally wrote it for Michael.' I originally wrote that song ['Gone'] for Michael Jackson," Timberlake explained.
Jackson turned down the song but called Timberlake after hearing it on its 'N Sync release, proposing a duet between the two singers.
 

Timberlake said: "He called me on the phone and said that he wanted to cut the record, but he wanted it to be a duet between himself and I.
"I'm on the phone, I'm literally punching myself in the face, because I said, 'I can't do that. Could we do an 'N Sync featuring Michael Jackson? Or Michael Jackson featuring 'N Sync?'
"And he was very absolute about the fact that he wanted it to be a duet between himself and I."
The singer went on to explain that the failed duet with Jackson inspired him to make his own music, saying: "I think it's the first idea I ever got about doing something on my own, because it was the first time I have ever really felt the confidence to do it."
