The late singer Michael Jackson encourages fans to "be smart and stay safe" in a post on social media.

Michael Jackson has urged fans to "be smart and stay safe" as the coronavirus crisis deepens around the world.

More than 16,300 people have died worldwide as a result of contracting the disease, while over 372,000 people have tested positive.

Jackson died of a cardiac arrest in 2009 at the age of 50 but his Twitter account remains active and today it posted an inspiring message alongside a picture of the late singer wearing a face mask.

The tweet caused some confusion among Jackson's followers, with one replying: "how you still tweeting when yo ass dead"

Another wrote: "im telling god u snook a phone up there"

Jackson is one of the best-selling artists of all time, having sold more than 350 million records worldwide.
