Michael Jackson's famous glove (photo source unknown)....when he would've turned 51 if he were alive.
The private ceremony will take place at Holly Terrace in The Great Mausoleum at Glendale Forest Lawn Memorial Park in Glendale, California, and "will be limited to family and close friends," publicist Ken Sunshine said in a statement according to a CNN report.
Jackson died June 25 of cardiac arrest. An investigation focusing on Michael's personal doctor, Conrad Murray, and the anesthetic propofol, is underway and manslaughter charges are expected to be filed.
Other Jackson plans have moved sluggishly. Monday, a judge delayed his approval of the exhibition agreement between concert promoter AEG Live and the Jackson estate until Friday, when he will hear testimony about why Michael Jackson's mother, Katherine Jackson, thinks it should be renegotiated.
The three-city exhibition of Jackson memorabilia could be derailed, as relations between Jackson's mother, the men Jackson named as executors of his will and the promoter of his planned comeback concerts have been challenging, CNN reported.
Questions surrounding Michael Jackson's death and AEG Live's role in his last days are an "obvious source of tension" as Katherine Jackson objects to the agreement, Jackson attorney Burt Levitch said.
Michael Jackson's family has "floated" the possibility of filing a wrongful-death lawsuit against AEG Live because of its "very, very active role in Michael's life during the last six months," Levitch said Monday.
Levitch said AEG Live "apparently paid for the services of Dr. Conrad Murray, who we're told is under criminal investigation in connection with the decedent's death."
Warrants used to search Murray's home and clinics indicated police were investigating his role in Jackson's death. A source with knowledge of the investigation said Murray administered propofol to Michael in the 24 hours before he died.
"There's an obvious link between AEG and concerns that we have about the decedent's demise," Levitch said. "So, that's one obvious source of tension right now."

ReplyDeletedeath is the beginning of eternal life for those who believe in god
ReplyDeleteThis just goes to show you just how crazy the Jackson family really is and why he kept his distance from them. Why on earth would you bury him on the day he was born. Just no respect for the man whatsoever, all they want is his money. So sad, sorry Michael, you must have suffered a lot more than we realized.
ReplyDeleteThank you for the comments.
ReplyDeleteIt's interesting how for some people it makes perfect sense to bury him on his B-day because of the "circle of life" concept, while for others it's an insult.
In the end, it's a situation to which people, naturally, assign symbolism or meaning where there's none--objectively speaking. Dead is dead.
