Raleigh, N.C. — A local memorial service for the “King of Pop” Michael Jackson will be held Tuesday at the downtown Raleigh Convention Center, event organizer Bruce Lightner announced Saturday.


The three-hour service will include testimonials from local Jackson fans and musical tributes from area groups.

The Martin Luther King All-Children's Choir will perform and area clergy will offer prayers for Jackson.

An electronic simulcast of Jackson's funeral from the Staples Center in Los Angeles, Calif., will be aired on large screens.

Admission is $5 per person. Tickets will go on sale at the Progress Energy Center Box Office and the Raleigh Convention Center Box Office at 9 a.m. on Monday.

Doors will open at 10 a.m. on Tuesday. The event starts at noon.

seriously? who cares anymore? i vote we send his dead but off in a spaceship and let some aliens 85 gajillion light-years away figure out what he was

I say they pull his nose off, which should not be hard to do, and make a bronze monument to him, albeit a small one.

Raleigh isn't known for being the sharpest knife in the drawer, but having this event at noon is sheer brilliance.

Michael Jackson died? When did this happen? I've heard nothing on the news!!

Seriously, though, I think this whole coverage has been sad and sickening.

You know, they already held one memorial here on Friday for him. Good Grief!

hmmmmmm.......you actually made me think, Truth.....a Tuesday with doors open at 10am.....how 'bout we take names at the door, and anyone attending gets no fed, state, or county welfare benes for not less than 10 years?

Everyone that attends must go in "white face".

I think a plastic recycling drive would be more appropriate

Blue, stop it. I don't want to lose my profile on the 4th of July, it wouldn't be right.

If U don't have a freak flag U will be given one at at the door. Boys as valets can be rented at additional cost and a bottle of "Jesus Juice" is required.
