Dead artists with a lot of unreleased recordings

Spin off from the Waylon Jennings thread:

When both Michael Jackson and Prince died, they supposedly had hundreds of songs recorded that the family was going to release over time.

I haven’t seen anything. Perhaps there’s been a song or two I missed. But I don’t think so.

Eddie Van Halen also supposedly has a huge store of music.

There’s has been talk of Alex Van Halen and Steve Lukathor finishing some of it, but again- nothing.

Wolfgang Van Halen seems stubborn to a fault about not playing, recording or releasing any of his dad’s music. He won’t even play a single Van Halen song live. He’s only done it a few times, most recently at a Taylor Hawkins tribute with the Foo Fighters.

Of course when you are the only heir of a $100 million plus estate, you can take the high road. Purity is expensive and he can afford it.

Wolf has been accused of releasing Eddie’s music as his own on Mammoth albums.

Mammoth mostly sucks, so not sure I believe it.
