Akon fought back tears as he listened to a song that he had recorded with Michael Jackson before the music legend’s sudden death.
The R&B star shared the track, Hold My Hand, with viewers of The Today Show, this morning.
Struggling to speak, a visibly upset Akon said, "He [Michael] always wanted just to bring people together. That's how the concept [for the song] came about, about holding hands, [making] that connection as one.”
