Michael Jackson’s Memorial Finalized

Michael JacksonDetails for Michael Jackson‘s public memorial have been finalized.

The farewell service for Jackson will take place on Tuesday, July 7 at 10 a.m. at the Staples Center. The program will be simulcast at Los Angeles’ nearby Nokia Theatre.

Jackson, 50, passed away Thursday (June 25) after suffering an apparent cardiac arrest at his home in Los Angeles. It has been widely reported that an overdose of prescription is to blame for the superstar’s unexpected death.

In an interview broadcast Thursday on NBC’s Today show, the King of Pop’s older brother, Jermaine Jackson, said he wishes he had died instead of his superstar sibling.

“He went too soon. I don’t know how people are going to take this, but I wish it was me,” Jermaine said.

“I wanted to be there for him. I was there and he was sort of like molded. Things he couldn’t say, I would say them. During the trials, during everything …”

Jermaine said that when he rushed to UCLA Medical Center last Thursday, where Jacko was pronounced dead, “I wanted to see Michael, and I wanted to see my brother, and see him there lifeless and breathless was very emotional for me, but I held myself together, because I know he’s very much alive.”

“His spirit is, and that was just a shell, but I kissed him on his forehead and I hugged him, and I touched him and I said, ‘Michael, I’ll never leave you. You’ll never leave me.’”

Its a tradited That he is gone and to see two days prior he is healthy happy and dancing. whomever OD him, what stupid a$$ doctor did this to him may he rot in jail for the rest of his natural life.
    Regardless what Michael was going threw in his life , he was loved by millions and some of us even grow up with him , (in a figure of speech) we share the same birthday he was just a yr older then I .

    Please stop praising this sick person. If you want to honor his art, which was very good, then do so. But dont praise this child molester. He was a poor excuse for a human being. Im not trying to be mean just telling the truth about a sick, very sick person, that prayed upon little kids. And had to pay the kids off so as to not get caught.
