No Public Viewing, Says Jackson Family

“Contrary to previous news reports, the Jackson family is officially stating that there will be no public or private viewing at Neverland.

“Plans are underway regarding a public memorial for Michael Jackson, and we will announce those plans shortly.”

Public Viewing of Jackson’s Body

As if the circumstances of his death – and life – weren’t already strange enough, the Jackson family has decided to transport the King of Pop’s body to his former residence, Neverland Ranch, later in the week for a public viewing of his body.

TMZ.com has learned from law enforcement officials that a 30-car motorcade (which includes a herse for Jackson’s body) will be travelling from L.A. to the singer’s infamous residence at 10 a.m. on Thursday (U.S. time).

At this stage, it looks like a public viewing will be taking place on either Friday or Saturday. That should excite the millions of fans worldwide who’ve been in tatters since news of the pop superstar’s death first broke last Thursday, some of which have even started to “commit suicide” in retaliation to his passing.

It is not known when a funeral for Jackson will be held.
