No Public Viewing For Michael Jackson At Neverland

The family of the late Michael Jackson has released a statement that denies the public and private viewing of the King of Pop in his Neverland Ranch:

"Contrary to previous news reports, the Jackson family is officially stating that there will be no public or private viewing at Neverland. Plans are underway regarding a public memorial for Michael Jackson, and we will announce those plans shortly."

Neverland has been a very special place for Jacko who owned the property since 1987. Unfortunately, he cannot lie in Neverland as a dead man because his family was unable to obtain a residential exemption required for a burial on private property.

The Michael Jackson funeral is scheduled for 10 a.m. on Tuesday, July 7, at Los Angeles’ Staples Center.
