OVER 17, 000 FANS TO ATTEND JACKSON MEMORIAL More than 17, 000 fans of MICHAEL JACKSON will get the chance to bid farewell to the late King of Pop at an official memorial service at the Staples Center in Los Angeles on Tuesday (07Jul09). At a press conference outside the venue, where Jackson was rehearsing for his This Is It comeback shows in the days before his death last week (25Jun09), AEG Live President and CEO Tim Leiweke laid down the rules of next week's tribute to hundreds of fans and media representatives on Friday morning (03Jul09).

Fans will be able to register for tickets on Staples Center's official website until 6pm on Saturday (04Jul09).
