A public memorial service for Michael Jackson was held on July 7, 2009 at the Staples Center in Los Angeles, California 12 days after his death on June 25. It was preceded by a private family service at Forest Lawn Memorial Park's Hall of Liberty in Hollywood Hills, and followed by a gathering in Beverly Hills for Jackson's family and close friends.
Jackson's closed, solid-bronze casket, plated with 14-karat gold and
lined with blue velvet, which was not originally expected to be at the
memorial service, arrived just before 10:00 a.m. local time, when it was
placed in front of the stage. The memorial began a few minutes after
10:30 a.m. with music and a eulogy from Pastor Lucious Smith. The stage was filled with floral arrangements, with photographs and film of Jackson and the Jackson 5 projected onto screens at the back. Music and video montages traced his life from the beginning of his career to the end.[1]
Jackson's brothers, sitting in the front row, each wore a single white sequined glove in tribute of their late brother. Mariah Carey, Stevie Wonder, Lionel Richie, Jennifer Hudson, Usher, Jermaine Jackson, and Shaheen Jafargholi sang Jackson's songs, and John Mayer played guitar. Berry Gordy, Brooke Shields and Smokey Robinson gave eulogies, while Queen Latifah read "We Had Him", a poem written for the occasion by Maya Angelou. The Reverend Al Sharpton
received a standing ovation when he told Jackson's children, "Wasn't
nothing strange about your daddy. It was strange what your daddy had to
deal with."[2]
Toward the end, the family gathered on stage to offer the final
eulogies. Jackson's then-11-year-old daughter, Paris Katherine,
tearfully told the crowd, "Ever since I was born, Daddy has been the
best father you could ever imagine ... I just wanted to say I love him
so much."[3] Additionally, an emotional Marlon Jackson said, "Maybe now, Michael, they will leave you alone."[4]
The memorial service was organized by Jackson's concert promoter, AEG Live,and AEG Ehrlich Ventures, LLC [ (Kenneth Ehrlich) - Executive Producer,[5]
who gave away 17,500 free tickets to fans worldwide through an online
lottery that attracted over 1.2 million applicants in 24 hours,[6] and over a half-billion hits to the webpage.[7] An estimated 750,000[8] up to a million fans were expected to congregate outside Staples Center[9][10] but due to Los Angeles's $530 million budget crisis, city and police officials urged fans to stay home.[11] Street and highway exit around the Staples Center were sealed off,[11] and 3,000 officers, the largest security effort planned since the 1984 Olympics,[11] were on duty at a cost of $1.4 million to the city.[12]
The motorcade for Jackson's casket was headed by two police motorcycle
outriders, and the LA freeways were closed for the journey of
approximately 11 miles (18 km) from Forest Lawn to the Staples Center.[13]
The service was broadcast live around the world. The United States
viewership was extremely high taking into consideration that the service
was unusually held on a workday (Tuesday) and a host of people reported
watching the service during work.
