Jackson Returning To Neverland For A Public Memorial!
Filed under: Michael Jackson
It's only fitting that the public will be able to say their last goodbyes to Michael Jackson at Neverland, the kid-like palace with an amusement park and now defunct zoo that the entertainer built for himself outside of Santa Barbara, California.
The King of Pop's body will be driven to Neverland Ranch at 10 am Thursday morning in a 30-car motorcade to prepare the body for public viewing.
Word is the viewing will happen on either Friday or Saturday at Neverland Ranch.
Traffic is going to be a nightmare, no doubt!
Update: It's confirmed.
A viewing will take place at Neverland on Friday - and it will be open to the public.
A private memorial service is scheduled for Sunday.

Pfft. They'll probably charge admission.
Only fitting..sad.

awwww its good they're doing this as a last good bye
1st
holy crap!no way i so wish i could go over there!!!!!
waw!!!!!!! que loco!!! me gustaria ir
The body will be publically veiwed?? what
OMG I would give anything to be able to go to that viewing…
wow i wish i could go to that
I would do anything for a chance to get out there and see MJ. I love him sooooooooooooooooooooooooooo much
Wish I could be there. Good luck to the people who are going though, like Perez said, traffic is going to be a nightmare.
Is that like an open casket!?!? MJ has been sliced and diced twice for autopsy! They don't need to be showing that off to the public like a sideshow attraction.
hey u need an updated picture of his gates…ive been there for three days now and i cant wait to see whats gonna happen on friday!
We need a caravan from Phoenix to Neverland Ranch so that people from AZ can attend. Sure would love to pay my final respects to Michael.
If I lived there I'd probably go….but on the other hand….his body shouldnt be shown to the public like that! Something bad will come of this.
HE SHOULD BE BURRIED AT NEVERLAND !!!! That would be a hell of a museum! I would go for sure!!!
BURRIED HIM AT NEVERLAND
BURRIED HIM AT NEVERLAND
BURRIED HIM AT NEVERLAND
BURRIED HIM AT NEVERLAND
BURRIED HIM AT NEVERLAND
BURRIED HIM AT NEVERLAND
BURRIED HIM AT NEVERLAND
Does anybody know where his going to be burried? I'm not going to make it out there in time for the viewing but I would love to visit his grave.
Well wishes and love to the family at this difficult time.
The Jackson's should turn Neverland into Graceland. If reports that they are strapped for cash are true Neverland could make them a fortune, just like Graceland.
Who cares. enough with MJ
Ewwwww…….Their gonna let people View Michael Jackson's Dead Body At the Neverland Ranch?!?!?!? Thats Grody!!!!!
This is a great way for people to say goodbye! I wish i wasn't so far….the turnout will be insane! And rightfully so
a public viewing? wo
WOW…. IT'S GOING TO BE TOTAL CHAOS. I'LL JUST WAIT FOR ALL THE DEAD PICS OF MJ IN A COFFIN TO FLOAT AROUND THE INTERNET. THAT WAY I WON'T HAVE TO WASTE TIME STANDING, SITTING, SWEATING WHILE WAITING TO GET IT. SOMEONE ELSE CAN DO THE WORK AND WILL EVENTUALLY POST ON THE WIDE WORLD INTERNET THEIR PICS AS A WAY OF MEMORIALIZING MJ OR A WAY OF SAYING "LOOK WHAT I GOT!" KINDA THING… THEY ALWAYS DO WHEN STUFF LIKE THIS HAPPENS. =)
though I am not a Fan, of Michael Jackson I am very sad for his children. I think he should be interred in the center of the clock at neverland and it could be where all his fans can come a pay their respect throughout the year and at the anniversary of his death just like they do with the KING Elvis Presley.
,
Bubbles is going to be there!!
I won't be surprised if there's a riot and theft. Hopefully they'll be smart enough to bump up security WAY more than when he was alive.
That is going to be a mad house. How sad.
My family and I are making plans to leave tomorrow from Texas.. We are definitely going to be there….
My family and I are leaving tomorrow from Texas… We are definitely going to be there…
I am a victim of the Madoff. You think the airlines will take my food stamps in place of cash. I know Joe Jackson wants me to come and I gtg to Neverland. Tonight I will pray really hard to Peter Pan maybe he will fly me away with him.
STAY HOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The Santa Ynez Valley just wants to celebrate the 4th of July in Peace folks!!! The Jacksons don't want this in THEIR neighborhood- so they bring it HERE! NO THANKS!
Michael hasn't been here FOREVER- lets leave it that way!!
He will not be buried here, and there will be NO GRACELAND here- Santa Barbara COunty would NEVER allow it!
STAY HOME and wait for the pictures to turn up on the internet!!!
Guess they better get moving. The footage I've seen, the place looks like crap! Heard they are going to make it into "Graceland"
you probably have to get there TODAY, shit imagine that line….
Aw MAN!!! I soooo wish I could go!!! But I live in England, pshh. God, the traffic will be sooo crazy! Poor guys stuck on the road for god knows how long!!!
OMG, dead bodies freak me out…
I want to go to this so bad but I have to believe it's going to be an absolute nightmare…I google'd his address and Neverland is in a very remote area. I'm afraid to drive the 250 miles and then not even get to see him because it's such a huge clusterfuck. I'm really torn. As much as I'd love to see Neverland, I'd rather them do it somewhere more…accessible.
Please say it isn't so!!!! this will ruin and destroy my lovely little town of Los Olivos. I thought we were through with that weirdo forever!!!!!! He wasn't a good neighbor or community citizen. Employees went unpaid for months, while he spent millions. downtown is already filled with media, and weird fans, crying and dramatic about it.
we don't want it here - we have to live here and put up with it. shame on everyone involved.
would Michael want his body publically viewed? no. that seems kinda fucked up to me.
Re: TaylorTwilighter – My thoughts exactly!!!
Geez that crowd is going to be insane. I hope no one steals his nose.
Sick, sick, sick!! As much as Michael hated to be stared out…hence the masks…his kids wearing masks…they choose a public viewing. WTF is wrong with that Jackson family or should I say Joe. I bet they do charge admission, it wouldn't surprise me in the least. Joe is going to do all he can to get his limelight and he will have that smirk on his face the whole time. My continued prayers go out to the children…God please protect them!!!!
ya and how much will they be charging for it
Re: Miss_Shammy – GET A LIFE!!! you won't find a hotel room in town now for under $300. How can it be worth it to come all the way out here and be part of the masses. please stay home and save your money.
WE LIVE IN SAN DIEGO && ARE FOR SURE GOING TO THIS!!! AHHHH! CAN'T WAIT!! I HOPE THEY DONT CHARGE, THAT WOULD BE MESSED UP AND I DONT THINK A LOT OF PPL WOULD GO IN THAT CASE..BUT WHO CARES! ITS MJ WE R TALKING ABOUT!!
A public viewing of a corpse at an amusement park and zoo. Sounds like a ridiculous spectacle.
Agree, why a public viewing ’cause Joe wants it to be a major event for his 'superstar' totally taking advantage of his son once again…go back to Vegas Joe!!! and Neverland is an overgrown mess so lay him to rest there in peace and let it and the community be!
Oh, god i wish I could go.
He was banished from there by all of you haters that now became lovers!
I have been a Micheal Jackson fan since I was 5 and first saw the "Thriller" video. I love all things music and I loved his music! I wish I lived in the area, I would so battle the traffice to say a farewell to the late, GREAT "King of Pop" Rest In Piece beloved one, rest in piece…
I BOUGHT MY AIR TICKET I WILL BE THERE CANT WAIT.
oh man! I would've totally gone but I have to take a roadtrip to Tennessee for my cousins wedding. Damnit.
:( i wanna go me and him have the same B-Day
Re: Hate Low Class People – HOW ARE YOU SO SURE THAT HE MOLESTED THOSE KIDS!!!! PEOPLE JUST TOOK HIS KINDNESS FOR WEAKNESS….THOSE MONEY HUNGRY THIEVES……..THEY WOULD CALL FOR INTERVIEWS CHARGING BIG BUCKS….TELL ME IS THAT WHAT YOU WOULD DO IF YOU WERE A VICTIM….
Ok now I've heard it all…
ha all u losersss flying out for this i live in santa barbara woooo!!!!
I think Neverland should turn into Michael's Graceland.
Does anyone know what time? I'd love to attend!
Re: X0X0X0150 writes: TELL ME IS THAT WHAT YOU WOULD DO IF YOU WERE A VICTIM…. – First of all I would NEVER have hung out with him. Any parent that would let their child 'sleep over' should be charged with child endangerment if their child is molested. No real parent would ever allow such a thing. Jackson was mentally disturbed, he did not have a real childhood and did everything he could to be white which alone proves he was sick mentally. When you grow up in a religious cult like the JW's and then have a family forcing your into the entertainment business they do not grow up with morals.
Crazy.
I hope SB County fire gets some balls and shuts this thing down!!! July 3rd 2007 the Zaca Fire started not to far from MJ's ranch. July 2nd 2008 the Gap Fire started on the Mountain Range above the ranch. Both these were started by human error, now were going to have ten thousand people trampsing all over the dry brush. I sure Colony Capital LLC pays for the extra for this…
RIP MJ Love you!
I think thats a really bad idea to have a public viewing of Michael. I don't think people understand how bad the paparazzi will get and everything will be messed up. I wish I could go though. But seriously, its a horrible idea. I don't understand why they just don't put him to rest.
Ewww…I Cud Neva Go And See A Dead Body…..Is AnyWun Goin…???
