Fans wishing to attend singer Michael Jackson’s memorial service next week will have to register for the 11,000 free tickets, organisers said on Thursday.
Michael Jackson is shown rehearsing at the Staples Centre on June 23, just two days before his death, CNN reported on Friday.
Jackson’s family will hold a private ceremony before the public memorial service, his brother said on Thursday.
Speaking to CNN’s Larry King, Jermaine Jackson said the ceremony will be held Tuesday morning, but he did not say where.
Jackson rehearsed at Staples Centre two nights before he died, and he appeared healthy in a video clip of the rehearsal obtained by CNN. Jackson died on June 25 after collapsing at his home in LA.
AEG, promoter of Jackson’s planned London, England, shows, released the short video of Jackson rehearsing in the arena on June 23. Jackson sang They Don’t Care About Us, a song from his HIStory album, as he danced along with eight male dancers.
Jackson did not specify where he wished to be buried in a 2002 will, which was filed in court on Wednesday.
More information emerged on Thursday about how Jackson’s estate will be shared, which his will estimated in 2002 as being worth $500 million. The family trust created by Jackson to receive all of his assets includes his mother, his children and a list of charities, according to a person with direct knowledge of the contents of the trust.
