Had Michael Jackson been alive today, he would have celebrated his 51st birthday, with pomp quintessential. But is MJ really not alive?
"Immortality is the genius to move others long after you yourself have stopped moving," said Frank Rooney. For the millions of Michael Jackson fans around the Globe, the King lives on! In all his glory!
We bow to you, MJ, for all those hours that we spent drooling over your fantabulous tunes. For all those days that were spent mourning your "transgressions"! As they would say in medieval England, "The King is Dead! Long Live The King!..."
Pop legend Michael Jackson will be laid to rest on his birthday, according to the singer's father
Jackson will be buried in Forest Lawn cemetery at 10 a.m. Aug 29 - on what would have been the king of pop's 51st birthday.
Jackson father indicated that the burial plans had been made final just in the past few days and he will return to Las Vegas after that.
