El cadáver de Michael Jackson fue enterrado el jueves en el cementerio Forest Lawn de Glendale.

Cerca de dos centenares de allegados dieron su último adiós en un acto al aire libre que contó con la actuación de Gladys Knight, cantante que conocía a Jackson desde que era un niño.

Según una entrevista hecha a Marlon Jackson por el diario Daily Mirror, el cantante fue enterrado junto a las tres cartas que escribieron sus hijos Prince Michael, Paris y Blanket y en las que se pudo leer: “Papá, te queremos, te echamos de menos”. Michael fue enterrado con peluca, maquillado y dentro de un ataúd bañado en oro y valorado en 21 mil euros.

Consternados

La familia de Jackson, con sus padres Joe y Katherine a la cabeza, ocuparon la primera fila de asientos, donde también estuvieron los hermanos del cantante y sus tres hijos, Prince Michael, Paris y Prince Michael II, apodado “Blanket”.

Elizabeth Taylor y Macaulay Culkin fueron dos de las celebridades que acudieron a la ceremonia, en la que, según la prensa, también se convocó a Diana Ross, Corey Feldman, Brooke Shields, Lisa Marie Presley, Mila Kunis, Chris Tucker y Steve Wonder.

Todos ellos recibieron una invitación de nueve páginas con fotos de la vida del Rey del pop así como algunas de sus reflexiones.

Fue depositado en una de las tumbas de la Terraza Sagrada del Gran Mausoleo del cementerio, una edificación construida con el estilo arquitectónico italiano del siglo XIII y donde las criptas tienen muros y suelos de hormigón armado. En el interior se encuentra una iglesia decorada con una réplica de mármol de “La Piedad”, de Miguel Ángel, así como una enorme vidriera que reproduce “La última cena”, de Leonardo Da Vinci.
