Michael Jackson will make a surprise comeback at the Super Bowl this weekend in TV advertisements to promote the 25th anniversary of Thriller. The star is to be honored in a Pepsi commercial, based on the ghoulish Thriller video, which will air during the showdown game between the New England Patriots and the New York Giants on Sunday.

The move is a marketing ploy to promote a special anniversary version of the album - and will be followed by a "major TV, radio, online and outdoor advertising campaign", reports the New York Post.

Jackson is also rumored to be among the stars appearing at the Grammy Awards on February 10 alongside Akon, will.i.am and Fergie.
