Michael Jackson's mother Katherine is set to discuss his death with US chat show host Oprah Winfrey.

The late singer's father, Joe, will also feature during the interview, which is set to air on November 8.

Katherine and Winfrey pre-recorded the interview at the family's home in Encino, California last month. They discussed the star's death as well as his childhood, reports the Associated Press.

The King of Pop's mother has remained silent since the star's sudden death in June last year.

The star's personal physician Dr Conrad Murray has pleaded not guilty to a charge of involuntary manslaughter in connection with Jackson's death.

He is due to appear at Los Angeles Superior Court on January 4.
