See the Michael Jackson Public Viewing Friday – News vans and crowds are descending on Michael Jackson’s Neverland Ranch on Friday, July 3, 2009 for the public viewing of the singer’s remains.

The public is already vying with news media for spots for Friday’s viewing. CNN reported the public viewing, which is but one stop on the way to Jackson’s final and undisclosed resting place. Though no official funeral plans have been announced there are several memorial services planned to honor the iconic pop singer. Joe Jackson, Jackson’s father, denied that Neverland will be Jackson’s burial site, given that it would then become a public attraction. Also, Rudy Clay, Mayor of Gary, Indiana, is campaigning to have Jackson’s remains come back to his birthplace. The city of Gary is planning a public memorial service on July 10 at the US Steel Works Ballpark.
Jackson is survived by three children, his parents, siblings, and millions of fans around the world. The focus now, according to Tom Barrack, Jr. – who bailed out a financially strapped Jackson last year, and has controlling interest of the estate – is having grieving fans treated properly. The estate will be dealt with at a later date.
For fans of Jackson wanting to be part of the public viewing, Examiner.com reports the Neverland Ranch address as 5225 Figueroa Mountain Road, Los Olivos, CA 93441.
