Elizabeth Taylor wants to be buried next to Michael Jackson.

The 77-year-old actress was close friends with the late pop icon and wants her final resting place to be alongside Michael at Los Angeles’ Forest Lawn cemetery.

A source told America’s National Enquirer magazine, “After sitting through Michael’s funeral service at the Great Mausoleum, with its magnificent stained-glass windows and replicas of Michelangelo’s artworks, she later told friends, ‘I felt a sense of peace there that I’ve never experienced before.’ ”

Elizabeth is said to be searching for a plot next to Michael — who died on June 25 of acute Propofol intoxication.

The actress — who uses a wheelchair because of scoliosis, which causes abnormal curving of the spine — did not attend Michael’s public memorial service in Los Angeles, held in July, as she was too overcome by grief.

Meanwhile, Jackson is releasing a posthumous single on October 12.

The tragic King of Pop’s brand new song, This Is It, is being released ahead of a two-disc album of the same name.

John McClain, co-producer of the LP and co-executor of his estate, said, “This song only defines, once again, what the world already knows – that Michael is one of God’s greatest gifts.”

The new record includes tracks featured in the upcoming movie This Is It, which follows Michael as he prepares for the comeback shows he was due to perform at London’s O2 arena from July.
