It has come to the attention of many that Los Angeles was not the only location for mourning, or better yet, celebrating the life of Michael Jackson in word and song.

Since Jackson's death, June 25, 2009, there have been many forms of paying tribute to him, (such as by Brooke Shields), mostly, it was thought, in Los Angeles.  But as it turns out, there have been celebrations of his life, a salute to say goodbye, all around the country and the world!

The following is a photo and video montage of just a few of the countries, including the United States, of people celebrating Michael Jackson's life. 

And as Brooke Shields put it, years ago, when speaking to Michael directly about his new "addition" to his act,
