Today is Michael Jackson’s public memorial at the Los Angeles Staples Center. The city is expecting over 200,000 people to flock to the city. Staples only holds about 18-20k, so this ought to be interesting. Fans found out yesterday if they got a ticket to the memorial. It appeared as though the family had a private ceremony yesterday at Forest Lawn cemetery.
It’s been confirmed that Mariah Carey and Jennifer Hudson and Stevie Wonder are a few of the performers for the memorial. TV stations and some radio stations are broadcasting live from the scene. Many other of Michael’s fans and friends are expected to make an appearance. But interestingly, 2 of his closest friends Quincy Jones and Elizabeth Taylor said they will not be there. Q is determined to never attend another friend’s funeral as long as he lives. And Liz says she feels like the public memorial will be a “big whoopla” she feels she shouldn’t be a part of.
Stay tuned for the details….
