Jackson

Michael Jackson's body will be brought to the memorial service at the Staples Center in downtown Los Angeles on Tuesday, sources involved in the planning said.

Seven men wheel out a golden casket covered in red flowers from Forest Lawn's Hall of Liberty.

Jackson's family and closest friends attended a gathering at Forest Lawn Memorial Park in Hollywood Hills on Tuesday morning before going to the public memorial.

Teddy Riley, a singer who worked closely with Jackson on several albums, said Jackson family members told him the casket will be driven in a procession from Forest Lawn to the arena.

A second source familiar with the planning also said the King of Pop's body would be delivered to the arena.

"It wouldn't be fair for the fans who are going to appear and be here at the Staples Center not to see his casket," Riley said.
