MJ To Be Buried on Birthday
Is Joe Jackson becoming the de facto spokesperson of the Jackson family? Maybe it’s just because he won’t quit talking about himself, but it seems like most of the news we’re getting about the Jacksons is coming from daddy Joe. This time, Joe blabbed to New York Daily News that his son Michael Jackson will be laid to rest on August 29, which is the pop star’s birthday.
The King of Pop will reportedly be buried at Forest Lawn Cemetery in Los Angeles, though the exact burial spot hasn’t been revealed. Now that fans know the date of the funeral, we’re guessing swarms of them will show up at the cemetery at the end of the month to catch of the glimpses of the proceedings.
Joseph Jackson says his son Michael will be finally laid to rest on Aug. 29, on what would have been the King of Pop’s 51st birthday.
Speaking to New York’s Daily News, the Jackson patriarch said the burial would take place at Los Angeles’s Forest Lawn Cemetery at 10 that morning, some two months after Michael’s June 25 death.
Jackson, 80, said that these arrangements had only been finalized recently, says the News. He also said that his wife Katherine, from whom he lives separately, has been particularly hard hit by their son’s death and suffers crying jags.
