Cream Calendar Michael Jackson Memorial: Watch Today at The Belcourt
Posted by Steve Haruch on Tue, Jul 7, 2009 at 8:50 AM
I heard on the radio this morning that you definitely should stay away from downtown Los Angeles today. (I also heard people going "woooooooo" when they found out they got tickets to a funeral. Weird.) Luckily, Creamers, there is a sensible alternative: Watch the Michael Jackson memorial on the big screen at The Belcourt. Doors open at 11:30 a.m., and the memorial starts at noon. The event is free.
Unfortunately, it's press day here at the Scene, so I probably won't be able to make it. But my colleague in L.A., music editor Randall Roberts, will actually be at Staples Center. "'ll be tweeting when it's not vulgar to do so (this is a memorial service for the King of Pop, after all)," he tells Cream. Follow @laweeklymusic on twitter to keep up. Lineup after the jump.
Scheduled to appear in one capacity or another (with more possibly to be added):
Usher
Stevie Wonder
Ron Boyd, Jackson's family friend
Kobe Bryant
Mariah Carey
Andrae Crouch Choir
Berry Gordy
Jennifer Hudson
Shaheen Jafargholi, a finalist on Britain's Got Talent
Magic Johnson
Martin Luther King III
Bernice A. King
John Mayer
Lionel Richie
Smokey Robinson
Rev. Al Sharpton
Brooke Shields
Pastor Lucious Smith
