Michael Jackson Burial Postponed
A spokesperson for the Jackson family had confirmed that Michael Jackson would have been buried on Aug. 29, the day that would have been his 51st birthday, but now the family is saying it will need to postpone the ceremony, MTV.com reports.
Initially the new date was reported to be two days later on Aug. 31, but Joe Jackson told E! News that he still doesn't know when the burial will take place.
The ceremony will still occur at Forest Lawn Memorial in Glendale, California. The family has agreed to a request from the Glendale Police Department to cover the entire cost of the event, which includes money for police officers and extra security personnel.
The funeral ceremony is not the only Jackson tribute left to take place. Jermaine Jackson is producing a tribute concert in Vienna, Austria on Sept. 26. Tickets went on sale Thursday though a lineup is yet to be announced.
On Oct. 28, "This is It," a Kenny Ortega-directed documentary made up mostly of rehearsals for Jackson's planned residency in London will be in theaters for just two weeks. Tickets for the movie go on sale Sept. 27.
