Michael Jackson denied rumors on Friday that he would sell the rights he owns to some 200 Beatles hits. Jackson bought the ATV Music catalog in 1986 for more than $47.5 million and merged it with Sony Publishing in 1995 for $100 million, The Associated Press reports. “The Beatles‘ catalog is not for sale, has not been for sale, and never will be for sale,” Jackson said in a statement Thursday. The King of Pop also added that he has no plans to part with his lucrative catalog in the future.
