Jermaine Jackson talks about Michael Jackson and Neverland on the 'Today' show

Jermaine Jackson gave an emotional interview to Matt Lauer on the Today show. During the interview "He went too soon," also, "I don't know how people are going to take this, but I wish it was me."

Matt Lauer asked Jermaine Jackson how he would feel if toxicology showed he was abusing drugs. Jermaine said “I would be hurt,” Jackson said, “because Michael has always been a person who was against anything like that. I’m not saying it’s right, because it’s not right. But in this business, the pressure, and things that you go through, you never know what people might turn to.”

Jermaine Jackson said he believed Michael Jackson was 1,000% innocent on molestation charges.
Jermaine told Lauer "Michael is a gift from Allah, and he is taking him back. The world didn’t appreciate him,” Jackson said. “The world loved him and certain people, certain industries didn’t appreciate him, and in his time on this earth he did good. He wanted good for everyone. He saw the good in even people that claimed to be bad. But he wanted to change things, so the message is through his songs, through his lyrics, his actions, going to hospitals, going to orphanages, trying to cure children, trying to bring enlightenment."

Jermaine also said he feel Michael's presence at Neverland. Jermaine also said he would like Neverland to be Michael's final resting place.

No reports have been confirmed whether Michael Jackson will be buried at Neverland after his funeral.
