A rose covered coffin holding the remains of Michael Jackson rested at the front of stage. Jackson, 50, died June 25th, after suffering an apparent cardiac arrest at his home in Los Angeles. Jackson is survived by his three children; son, Prince Michael Jr., daughter, Paris Michael Katherine, and son Prince Michael II. Michael Jackson sold more than 750 million records, had 13 number one singles, more than any other male artist, and is one of the few artists to have been inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame twice; once as a member of The Jackson 5 in 1997 and later as a solo artist in 2001.
