Michael Jackson to be Buried on His Birthday
Aug 21, 2009 Hollywood, Michael Jackson
Michael Jackson will finally be laid to rest on what should have been the late singer’s 51st birthday! At least that’s according to Joe Jackson. That means that we should take it with a grain of salt. The Jackson family patriarch told reporters last weekend that the King of Pop will be buried at the Forest Lawn Cemetery in the Hollywood Hills at 10AM on August 29th, Michael’s birthday. I’m not sure about what he wants to achieve by announcing the date, time and place of his son’s burial to the media. It seems to me that he wants another media spectacle to take place.

The elaborate ‘Dome Project’ was the last video ever shot by Jackson, whose career feature many of the most important videos in pop history.
Jackson had key scenes set in a cemetery to remind fans of his pioneering 1983 video for his hit Thriller.
But now the video – expected to be ready for screening next month – will instead have a spooky, emotional impact for fans as Jackson is scene in the cemetery.
Asked about the video, Jackson’s close friend Miko Brando said: “True.”
Asked when the video would be released, Miko – the son of late acting legend Marlon Brando – said: “That’s a good question. We’d love to see that. I would think soon, hopefully.”
The video was produced by Robb Wagner and filmed a Culver Studios, which 70 years ago was the set for the classic film Gone With the Wind.
The cemetery scenes are one of four sets in the video.
Besides the cemetery, one set featured an oversized portrait of Jackson in his Thriller werewolf costume, another was a jungle, and the fourth a construction site.
