Dame Elizabeth Taylor has confirmed that she will not attend the memorial service of her close friend Michael Jackson, and says that the late popstar would have “approved” of her decision.
Pouring out her grief on her official Twitter page, Taylor said, “I just don’t believe that Michael would want me to share my grief with millions of others. How I feel is between us. Not a public event.”
Though she has chosen to remain home, Taylor admits that she was asked to speak at Tuesday’s memorial service at the Staples Centre in Los Angeles.
“I cannot be part of the public whoopla,” the 77-year-old wrote. “And I cannot guarantee that I would be coherent to say a word.”
The actress added: “I will always love Michael from the depth of my being and nothing can separate us. My love goes out to Katherine and Michael’s beloved children.”
