Fans Expected To Descend On Forest Lawn Cemetery For Michael Jackson Tribute Friday

Officials at star-studded Hollywood cemetery Forest Lawn says it welcomes Michael Jackson fans for the one-year anniversary of his death this Friday, but there will be some restrictions in place to preserve the sanctity of the grounds.

After all, this is an eternal resting place.

MJ fans will be allowed to leave flowers near the singer’s burial site during tomorrow’s morbid tributes, but the cemetery has banned balloons, candles, and doves, officials announced Wednesday. Cameras, balloons, spinners, statues, posters, incense, and radios will also not be permitted.

Forest Lawn is expecting “significant” numbers of visitors throughout the day. It reserved the right to throw out fans making too much noise or behaving in what it considered a disrespectful manner.

Jackson died of a propofol overdose in Los Angeles on June 25, 2009. He was 50. His personal physician Dr. Conrad Murray, has pleaded not guilty to a charge of involuntary manslaughter and is awaiting trial.
