LATEST MICHAEL JACKSON UPDATES

Michael Jackson, 1958-2009
You knew it was coming — here are the latest news updates surrounding the death of Michael Jackson.
A public memorial service is scheduled to take place on Tuesday, 10 a.m. PST, at the Staples Center in Los Angeles, following a private service at an undisclosed location. Fans will have the opportunity to register for free tickets to attend the public memorial, with 11,000 tickets said to be available. More information on how to register for the tickets will be announced tomorrow.
It was also announced today that a hearing to decide if Michael’s mother, Katherine Jackson, will remain the temporary guardian of his three children has been pushed back a week by a judge.
Debbie Rowe, Michael’s ex-wife and the mother of his three children, is said to have told KNBC in Los Angeles that she “wants her kids.” Michael’s will nominated his mother as the guardian of his children and nominates Diana Ross as guardian if his mother were unable to take over guardianship.
Rowe is intentionally left out off the will.
Now, on to what made him the King of Pop — the music.
Michael Jackson is reported to have broken multiple records this week on the Billboard charts. Albums featuring Jackson will take up the top nine spots of Billboard’s Top Pop Catalog Albums chart, and he will have six of the top 10 spots on the Top Digital Albums chart.
His albums sold 422,000 copies this week, and he is rumored to have sold 2.6 million single downloads this week. Absolutely incredible.
