Michael Jackson fans from as far
afield as Iran and Japan paid tribute to the King of Pop on the tenth
anniversary of his death with roses crafted into heart shapes and
crowns made of bright yellow sunflowers.
Several hundred fans gathered outside his burial place in the Forest
Lawn cemetery in Glendale, North of Los Angeles, and held a minute
silence at 2:26 p.m., the moment when Jackson, fifty, was pronounced
dead on June 25, 2009.
They then broke into a rendition of “Heal the World” as some mourners
quietly sobbed, hugged or wiped away tears.
Fans, some dressed like Jackson, placed posters, dolls, sequined gloves and even a red jacket like the singer’s signature “Thriller” outfit outside the private mausoleum where he is buried.
It would be recalled that Jackson died at his Los Angeles home after an overdose of the powerful anesthetic propofol, which he was using as a sleep aid.
