Posted by Adam
Michael Jackson‘s funeral won’t be taking place at the tragic star’s Neverland ranch.
The Jackson family released a statement Wednesday, insisting there won’t be a public or private viewing at the King of Pop’s former home.
“Contrary to previous news reports, the Jackson family is officially stating that there will be no public or private viewing at Neverland,” the rep said.
“Plans are underway regarding a public memorial for Michael Jackson, and we will announce those plans shortly.”
Jackson, 50, died Thursday (June 25) after suffering an apparent cardiac arrest at his home in Los Angeles.
On Wednesday, Jackson’s will was filed in court.
In the document — dated July 7, 2002 — the tragic King of Pop leaves everything to the Michael Jackson Family Trust, and names John Branca, John McClain and Barry Siegel as co-Executors.
Branca was his lawyer; McClain a music executive; and Siegel was his former accountant, who resigned in 2003.
Beneficiaries of the will are Jackson’s three children: Prince, 12, Paris, 11, and Blanket, 7.
