Memorial At Staples Center On July 7?

Please note: The following information published by Roger Friedman has not yet been officially confirmed by members of the Jackson family. We simply publish it to keep fans informed about what is going so you can already look into possible travel options if you wish to attend the memorial.

“The Michael Jackson funeral is scheduled for 10 a.m. on Tuesday, July 7, at Los Angeles’ Staples Center. Sources tell me that AEG Live, which owns Staples and next-door neighbor Nokia Theatre, will use both facilities and the surrounding plaza.

There’s no official confirmation yet, but I’m told all systems are go.

Insiders also say that AEG will put gigantic screens outside the facilities for the thousands who will not get inside. No word yet on how ticketing will be handled.”
