Michael Jackson Funeral

As more than two million tearful fans flood into Los Angeles to bid farewell to late King of Pop Michael Jackson, police fear that riots may break out at his funeral on July 7.

Details for the funeral have not been released as and there was even speculation that Jacko could be buried in a private ceremony on July 6, as his mum Katherine wanted to avoid pandemonium. Plans for a funeral procession have already been canceled to guard against crowd surges or rioting.

Late on July 5, police were still waiting for a full list of the VIPs likely to attend the funeral.

“Our biggest fear is that it will all turn to violence if things aren’t handled properly,” a police chief said.

Jackson had some very loyal fans, but also some very disturbed fans.

The news comes in the wake of confirmation made by Jackson’s family that memorial service will be held to remember his career and life.

The funeral of pop legend Michael Jackson is expected to be unforgettable with a massive crowd gathering and Stevie Wonder performing as a final tribute.

The singer will be playing a rendition of ‘I Just Called To Say I Love You’ with the lyrics changed to, ‘Michael knows that I’m and I love you.’

There are still a lot of plans being discussed but one thing for sure is that Michael has always been a great show and sending him off with a great show is the best tribute we could pay him,” the Mirror quoted Jeffrey Daniel, of 80s pop group Shalamar – the man who taught Jackson his signature moonwalk.

11,000 tickets have so far been distributed to fans for the memorial. Also 6,500 tickets have been allocated for the Nokia centre in Los Angeles where the service will be screened.

King of Pop Michael Jackson will be buried without his brain.

Following an autopsy at the Los Angeles Coroner’s Office, the singer’s brain has been taken our for further neurological tests, including ones to see what drugs he had taken.

They have decided to bury him without his brain, reports dailymail.co.uk.

The star’s funeral is taking place in the Forest Lawn Memorial Park in Glendale, Los Angeles county, after permission for burial at his Neverland ranch was refused.
The tests, which cannot be done until the brain has sufficiently hardened, are expected to show up any past drug or alcohol abuse, or overdoses the star may have suffered.
According to The Sunday Mirror, a source from the coroner’s office said that removing the brain was “the only way to carry out the tests”.

The family had initially planned a funeral procession from the morgue to Jackson’s 2800-acre Neverland ranch, where a viewing of the body would be open to the public.
