Will Michael be BURIED on Tuesday? And if so, will be he buried before or after the memorial?

Are there gonna be any famous people attending the memorial at Staples centre, like any of his close friends or family members?

I hate this

[xthunderx2]

My heart is breaking so bad... This seems so unreal

[Cinnamon234]

I agree! and I'm not going to act like "oh he's going to a better place, now he's at peace" or whatever. I'm still upset and always will be! We are supposed to be talking about MJ gearing up for his shows at the 02, not a burial! God, this is so unreal.

It's strange that people like Liz Taylor, Diana Ross, Liza Minelli, Maculay Culkin or Lisa Marie are not included if they were very close friends.

[Trish]

There is a private memorial service tonight where the ones you have mentioned will be in attendance. Over 1200 people will be at the memorial service tonight.

[AllTheLovelyFlowers]

Thanks for that information, Trish. I sorta figured that most of Michael's closest friends would be attending a private memorial. And they are probably gonna be the ones to see the body.

[Snow White luvs Peter Pan]

Oh that explains a lot, thank you Trish. Eventhough it'd sound creepy I'd like to see Michael for the last time but if the family took that decition I'll respect their wishes.

Whats going to stop the public from going to the private burial?

Hopefully, respect for the privacy of the family and friends. Respect may not be enough.
