Michael Jackson’s devoted fans should be happy with the recent announcement of a public memorial to be held near the King of Pops’s Neverland Ranch.
Today a spokesman for management company Relevé Unlimited said that an
event will be held this Friday commemorating Michael Jackson's life and legacy.
The event is being called "The Michael Jackson Heal the World Memorial Gathering”, and a portion of the proceeds will be handed over to the “Heal the world foundation”.
The Ted Chamberlin Ranch will be the site of the event and is a thousand acre parcel located near Neverland. The event opens at 5 am Friday and is expecting massive crowds. Spokesman Scott Corridan said that the charge will be $40 per vehicle. Guests can expect to hear Michael Jackson's music, and watch his videos on large screens, and participate in other activities. There will also be vendors selling food and beverages.
The activity at Jackson’s Neverland Ranch has not died down. Reports today say that at times the media outnumbered the fans outside the gates. There were satellites up and down the roads leading to the ranch. Many devoted fans had driven niles to be there to pay their respects. Some had even brought tents and chairs determined to stay for the long haul.
A message from Heal the World Foundation’s President :
The death of Michael Jackson is a great American tragedy. His heart has been battered on all fronts , but he believed in humanity and wanted to change the world.People are now remembering his music legacy , but behind the scenes unknown to all but a small handful of people ,during these last 7 years he authorized tens of thousands be spent on preserving his charity “Heal the World Foundation” ( HTWF) Jackson started HTWF in 1992 and was designed to leverage his name, adding to the many millions Michael Jackson had personally given to charity. With Michael Jackson not happy at turning 50 years old, he stepped up his efforts for a multifaceted comeback.
Following these final performances, it was believed that Mr. Jackson would live a long and full life, devoted to HTWF and serving his God and his fellow man, with his fans leading the way.
The staff at Heal the World Foundation express our deep sorrow for the loss the world has suffered. We are devastated by the loss of one of the world's great humanitarians and hope that in his absence we will be able to take the torch of his legacy and give back to his memory the same beauty he gave freely to so many.
We express our condolences to his family, to Michael's several spokespeople and representatives who made HTWF's expanded mission possible and more especially to his fans who saw him as a genuine inspiration and the lifeblood to our work. We love you as he loved you.
With profound sadness,
Mel Wilson
Vice President
