King of Pop as he will always be known as, Michael Jackson passed away on June 25th 2009 thus ending an era in the world of music. Almost two months after his mysterious death and multiple investigations, the legend will be finally buried on September 3, 2009 Thursday.
The star’s brother Marlon revealed the secrets of the King of Pop’s funeral, which will take place on Thursday. The kids, Prince Michael, Paris and Blanket, have written notes to Daddy Dear that read ‘we love you’, ‘we miss you’. These notes will be placed alongside the singer’s trademark single white glove.
Lying in state in an 18,000 gold-plated casket, the drug-ravaged singer’s body has been fitted with a special wig to give him flowing shoulder-length locks, reveals Marlon. A make-up artist has painted his face to ensure he is buried as if he was taking to the stage for his last bow. After a sunset funeral, Jackson’s coffin will be immediately encased in deep concrete to deter grave robbers and ghouls. A small wake will be held afterwards at the Jackson family compound in Encino. This is the final step, the final curtain will be closed as regards to Michael’s life, said Marlon.
Marlon, 52, said: This will be Michael’s final curtain call, the last show. His shell will be gone but his spirit lives on. Soul legend Aretha Franklin will sing at the graveside and Jackson’s close friend Diana Ross will be there, too.
MJ will be buried in Holly Terrace Grand Mausoleum at Glendale Forest Lawn Memorial Park, near Hollywood in North Los Angeles, alongside stars like Humphrey Bogart and Clark Gable. The cemetery is surrounded by high walls and closed to the public; anyone visiting must show ID.
Michael Jackson may bid us adieu for the last time on Thursday but his music and dance will live with us forever. Rest in peace MJ.
we miss you MJ !
