Marlon Jackson has revealed plans for Michael Jackson’s funeral.

According to the star’s brother, the singer will be buried with notes from his children in an £18,000 gold-plated coffin and Aretha Franklin will sing at his graveside.

He told the Sunday Mirror: “This will be Michael’s final curtain call – the last show. His shell will be gone but his spirit lives on.”

The King of Pop’s make-up will be done as though he is about to take his final bow on stage.

Marlon said: “This will be a private ceremony. His hairstylist has made his hair special and a make-up artist has gone in and fixed him up so he’s ready for the big day.”

Michael Jackson will be buried alongside stars including Humphrey Bogart and Clark Gable in the Holly Terrace Grand Mausoleum at Glendale Forest Lawn Memorial Park in north Los Angeles. His funeral is scheduled for Friday 4 September.
