MJ to get a birthday burial
August 18th, 2009 - 7:00 pm ICT by IBNS
Aug 18 (IBNS) He would have celebrated his 51st birthday but instead be put six feet under!
King of Pop Michael Jackson will be consigned to the grave on what would have been his 51st birthday, according to his father Joe Jackson.
The late singer’s burial will take place at L.A.’s Forest Lawn Cemetary on August 29 — more than two months after the King of Pop died on June 25 after suffering cardiac arrest.
Joe, 80, told a news agency that the burial would be a private event. However, he could not say which family members would be present.
Jackson’s official cause of death will not be revealed until the final autopsy report is released by the Los Angeles County coroner’s office and the manslaughter investigation is complete, an official has said.
Meanwhile, the Jackson family has chalked out tributes for Michael. Joe plans to return to Las Vegas after the burial for a “Las Vegas Celebrates the Music of Michael Jackson” event in which area entertainers will sing his hits.
Brother Jermaine Jackson is reportedly organizing a concert that will take place Sept. 26 at a palace in Vienna, Austria. (According to Jermaine, the venue was chosen because his brother “loved castles.”)
