This has nothing to do with the boys but I want to send my condolences out to Michael Jackson’s family during this time. It was announced around 3:15pm Cali time that Michael Jackson had passed away. He was just 50 years old.  R.I.P Micheal.

The follow message was posted by the boys on twitter before it was confirmed.

If the Micahel Jackson rumors are true, our hearts go out to his family + all his fans. He was and always will be one of our inspirations.

Howie posted a message on saynow a while ago and confirmed that the album is called ‘This Is Us’. I guess they didn’t change it after all. Listen to the message here. Also he he says that they are pretty much done just finishing up a few things and getting ready for the tour.
