Michael Jackson will rise from the dead to feature in a new advertising campaign for Pepsi. The campaign, called "Live For Now”, is the latest in a long line of Pepsi ads to feature pop icons, with stars such as Madonna, Britney Spears, Pink and even MJ himself making advertisments for the soft drink company.

The global campaign coincides with the 25th anniversary of Michael Jackson's multiplatinum album Bad, offering exclusive remixes from the album on collector’s edition cans.

While it may be a cute idea, it may stir up some (literally) painful memories.

Michael Jackson famously suffered severe burns while filming a Pepsi commercial in 1984. It's widely believed that Michael's reported addiction to painkillers developed following this event.

Nevertheless it is great to see Michael is not forgotten and his music is forever timeless.
