July 7 will witness the farewell of musical phenomena. The world will bid adieu to the most exceptional icon of music. According to sources, Michael Jackson will be buried on this day at the Staples Centre, in Forest Lawn Memorial Park.

Promethean, the name of the casket, has been specially designed with a blue velvet interior and a hand-polished, mirror finish. Similar casket was said to be used to bury soul singer James Brown and Jackson had personally saw the casket when he had gone to pay tribute to the singer.

A website has announced free 17,500 tickets to his memorial celebration, where the fans have to register online to get it. After registrations, the organisers would intimate the ticket holder via email informing the centre, where they will be issued with the tickets and wristbands; without which no one will be permitted anywhere, near the event. Strict vigilance will be maintained around the Staples Centre on Tuesday.

Meanwhile the organisers of MJ’s live concerts has announced that those who had bought the tickets for the mega event can either get a money back or keep the souvenir ticket as collector's items. According to sources, Michael showed great love for his fans during his days and so the organisers feel it’s their responsibility to treat his fans with same reverence and respect after his death.

His ardent fans across the world can witness his pompous farewell through internet, for the Jackson family has given permission to all the media.
