Michael Jackson’s Memorial – without Michael Jackson’s remains?

There has been an overwhelming response to the ticket lottery provided by the organizers of the Michael Jackson Memorial to be held at the Staples Center in Los Angeles on Tuesday, July 7th. So far, fans continue to register for the lottery ticket. Seven hours after the announcement was made regarding the lottery, there had been half a million registrations received at the website, all of whom are hoping to grab a couple of tickets to see Michael Jackson for the last time and participate in his memorial.

However, there are speculations that Michael Jackson’s remains won’t even be taken to the Staples Center. According to CNN:

Yet, despite the interest surrounding the service, few details emerged by early Saturday. Organizers would only say there would not be a funeral processional to the arena, indicating Jackson’s body would not be brought to the public memorial.

I don’t know about all of you but if I am going to that memorial, my mission is to pay my last respects to Michael Jackson. If his body won’t be taken there – I would rather watch it at home. I could hold my own memorial by saying a prayer for him rather than going to a stadium.

The original lottery was open only to U.S. Residents but according the CNN, the organizers have now opened up the lottery to Non-US Residents.

The overwhelming response prompted organizers to open up the lottery to non-U.S. residents as well, he said.
