Michael Jackson will not be buried at his beloved Neverland ranch.. Photos & Video of him rehearsing on June 23rd, hours before his death..

Michael Jackson will not be buried at his beloved Neverland ranch because his family can't obtain the paperwork required to bury a body on private property...

The singer's family were reportedly hoping to lay the star to rest at his beloved ranch but are now scrambling to find a new location amid fears it would be illegal to bury Michael at his former home.

California's health and safety laws prohibit the burying of bodies outside designated cemeteries. The family has been unable to obtain the residential exemption required to bury the star on private property.

Previous reports claimed Michael - who died last week after suffering a suspected cardiac arrest - would make his final journey from Los Angeles to Neverland today (02.07.09) in a white horse-drawn carriage.

It was claimed he would then be placed in a glass coffin so fans could pay their respects ahead of a burial on the grounds of the Santa Barbara ranch on Sunday (05.07.09).

Santa Barbara police had already been preparing crowd control and security plans for the memorial, and workmen have spent the past few days sprucing up the abandoned property.

Yesterday (01.07.09), a truck was seen delivering hundreds of portable toilets.

It is believed Michael's body is being held at Los Angeles' Forest Lawn Memorial Park in the Hollywood Hills, where his grandmother was buried in 1990.

Many believe Michael will be laid to rest there, alongside celebrities including Bette Davis, Lucille Ball, Liberace and David Carradine, who died in Thailand last month.

Insiders claim a public memorial will be held at the Staples Center sports arena in Los Angeles on Tuesday morning (07.07.09).

Unlike the planned Neverland ceremony, the body will not be present.

Michael spent the last night of his life at the Staples Center, rehearsing for his upcoming London residency until midnight on June 24.

He's still amazing on stage at 50!

He's still the best ever..

It would have been an awesome concert performance!

Such a pity.. :_(

It's been almost a week since M.J. has left us..

Yeah.. It's been almost a week since M.J. has left us..

However, most of us still have not gotten over the fact that he's gone..

Many of his fans, including myself, are still coming to terms with his death etc..

Everyday we still see & hear news of his death via the media.. newspapers.. television & radio broadcast etc.. Speculations on what actually happened before his death.. What led to his death.. & what happened and is still happening, after his death..

Fans of his, like me, are familiar with his life story & it never fails to bring tears to our eyes to always remember all that he had went thru' in his entire life from the moment he was a child star till his recent death..

It really saddens & pains our hearts to recall all the humiliation, pain, hurts, accusations, loneliness, etc. he suffered while he was still alive..

Reports confirmed what eventually led to his death was he suffered from a cardiac arrest.

After years of suffering from ill-health.. his frail body finally succumbed to all the years of accumulated & overwhelming pressure..

News was M.J.'s health had deteriorated thru' the years due to the emotional trauma he had suffered during the 2 court cases he had to face in regards to the accusations of him molesting 2 different boys on 2 separate occasions..

Besides that, his health was further jeopardised when he had to spend the last few months, weeks & days practising for his string of up-coming concerts..

The 50-year-old singer was poised for a come-back with a string of 50 concerts scheduled to start in London on July 13.

They were to be his first concert series for 12 years and were expected to earn him more than US$400 million (S$582 million) according to concert promoters AEG Live.

He wanted to do his very best to earn not just the amount to cover up his debts & annul/nullify his bankruptcy, but to also gratify & enrapture his armies of devoted fans from all around the world..

But what was really heartbreaking news was that he mentioned he was threatened by his debtors to perform despite his deteriorating ill health or else they would have him killed!

Poor guy.. :_(

His fame came at a cost.. A lifetime of it & even to the extend of it leading to his untimely death..

He suffered physically, psychologically, emotionally.. throughout his entire life.. since he was a kid..

He really didn't deserve to suffer all that he had to..

Such an amazingly talented, child-like, gentle & mild guy like him really didn't deserve to be so nastily treated in his life..
