A week after Michael Jackson died his family remains undecided about how to mark his life, though they appear to be firming up plans for a massive memorial in downtown Los Angeles next Tuesday.
US news channel CNN has reported that plans have been confirmed for a public event at the Staples Center in downtown LA.
The Hollywood Reporter, which originally stuck its neck out despite the week-long trail of media inaccuracies, also said all systems were go for a memorial at the venue next Tuesday at 10am.
Giant screens are to be erected on the plaza outside the auditorium to beam pictures live to the expected crowd of fans unable to gain tickets.
The Staples Center is owned by AEG, the company promoting Jackson’s London run of shows at the O2 Arena.
The entertainment website TMZ, which broke the story of Jackson’s death last Thursday and has been among the most credible news sources all week, continues to report that the family has yet to finalise plans.
