The funeral of pop star Michael Jackson, who died unexpectedly on Thursday at the age of 50, could be larger than those of Elvis Presley and Princess Diana with as many as a million people expected to travel to Los Angeles to remember the "king of pop".
The singer died of a heart attack on Thursday afternoon. However there are still questions about the cause of the heart attack and which drugs (if any) the singer was taking that may have contributed to his death.

At least taxpayers won’t be paying for it like Zero’s ‘coronation’.

Why don’t they keep him on ice a bit longer and have the funeral in New York on the 40th anniversary of Woodstock?
I swear I’m sober.......

Does Sly Stone know about this ?
To: peace with honor
Can you believe that guy? I’ve never seen a dad LESS broken up over a child’s death than that guy! He was standing next to Al Sharpton at some press conference today, and even Big Al seemed more sincere than this creep.
He’s trying to cash in big time over this death, and some new recording venture. He’s the worst!

His dad was the one that made Jacko ‘Wacko’, in my opinion. He should not have beaten Michael, if all press accounts are accurate.
