Jackson Family: Public Memorial Service Confirmed

The Jackson family said in a statement Friday morning that a public memorial service for Michael Jackson will be held at 10 a.m. on Tuesday at the Staples Center in Los Angeles. About 11,000 free-of-charge tickets will be available via internet but officials are expecting to draw over 100,000 fans at the service.

Before suffering cardiac arrest on June 25, the King of Pop was seen rehearsing at the Staples Center two days before he died.

Plans for the legendary entertainer’s funeral are still underway, but will most likely be a private event after Tuesday’s ceremony.

Fans wishing to attend must register at staplescenter.com where names will be later chosen at random. Another 6,500 tickets will be available at a nearby theater.

@Marieme:dear…marieme…resentful to what? you see….mj is dead…ok..he was human..so he was supposed to die one day,but i truly think this could have been avoided if he wasn’t forced to go trough so many problems by some incredibly evil people like the one i already mentioned above……..mj had 3 children…who definetly needed him longer than that!
somebody should keep an eye open on those who hurt him and indirectly cause his death(mj had very low tolerance for emotional and physical pain) at least to prevent them and people like them from striking again and cause pain to others.
and my opinion about m.bashir will still remain the way it is,i am not resentful towards him …he just makes me feel sick:|….partially because i didn’t know about him until 2-3 days ago when i watched the “living with michael jackson”interviews he made and he gave me the shivers..so it’s quite recent in my mind,how on earth can you accuse somebody who is a global humanitarian,who loves children who is a “man of honour” ,who is such a sweet-hearted man and artist…of such a terrible thing?
I am sorry that although we call ourselves humans we couldn’t provide mj with a better place to live,maybe this is why god decided it was he’s time to go,i’m sure he is better up in heaven.
RIP MJ
