Fans of Michael Jackson will descend on a Los Angeles cemetery here Friday to mark the one-year anniversary of the tortured music superstar’s death from a prescription drug overdose.
Jackson, 50, was found dead in his rented Los Angeles mansion on June 25 last year, a seismic celebrity death which triggered a global outpouring of tributes for the eccentric genius known as “The King of Pop.”

A new book makes several shocking claims about Michael Jackson, including one that he had many gay lovers who he seduced by saying: “The King of Pop is going to lick your lollipop.”
Biographer Ian Halperin claims to have hunted down two of the star’s alleged male lovers, with one apparently making the allegation.
“The very first time he had sex with me he said, ‘The King of Pop’s going to lick your lollipop’. I still laugh thinking about that,” the Sun quoted Jackson’s one alleged lover as having told Halperin.
The author of ‘Unmasked: The Final Years of Michael Jackson’ also alleges that “virtually everybody” around the singer knew about his interests in the same sex.
He says: “Virtually everybody has told me. Even those who are his most ardent defenders, people who maintain he is innocent of the molestation charges, insist that he is homosexually inclined.”
Michael Jackson is reportedly planning to open a zombie-themed ”Thriller” casino in Las Vegas next year to help revive his flagging fortune.
The 50-year-old singer is also said to be working on a new album, several films and a museum to house iconic items from his career.
The King of Pop is even hoping to launch a three-year world tour after his 50-date residency at London’s O2 arena concludes in March 2010.
According to sources, the singer is interested in any business endeavour that can help revive his flagging fortune.
The ‘Black or White’ hitmaker apparently has to repay a lot of money in debt, which also forced him to sell his beloved Neverland Ranch last year.
He is expected to rake in nearly A100 million pounds from his ”This Is It” tour, due to start next month.
However, Jackson’s deteriorating health is forcing him to postpone his concerts.
Although Jacko’s spokesman insists he is in great health, doctors are apparently worried about a patch of cancerous skin on his chest.
