Michael Jackson's memorial service details have been announced. It's been over a week since the King of Pop's death. As more scoop emerges regarding his will, his health at the time of death, and most importantly – investigations – nothing will change the fact that the musical icon is gone for good.

In order to pay our respects, fans around the world are wondering how they may mourn their legend. At the Staples Center in downtown Los Angeles, there will be a public memorial for fans to say their goodbyes to Michael Jackson on July 7 at 10:30 a.m. PST. 

A fan pays tribute to Michael JacksonThe public was eligible to get tickets for the event and 9,000 lucky ticket holders will be able to participate in the 20,000 seat Staples Center. The remaining seats have not been disclosed as to who will have access to them for the Michael Jackson memorial -- but as logistics and details unfold, more information will become available.

There was also a Dateline special July 3 featuring Matt Lauer’s interview with Jermaine Jackson at the Neverland Ranch. During the interview, Jermaine reveals he wishes his life was taken instead of Michael’s as speculation continues about the future of the Neverland Ranch.

Will it become a memorial site? Will it become open to the public and perhaps serve as a type of Graceland to fans?

We’re not exactly sure but rest assured as days and weeks unfold, we’ll hear more about the legacy of Michael Jackson as well as ways the public may continue to show their support and admiration.

It's so sad to see that Michael had to leave us so soon. Check out this Michael Jackson Dance Class Tribute that Maryss and Rino of The Beat Freaks created. The twosome were supposed to meet Michael Jackson the day that he passed since they were called up to become back up dancers for the London section of his tour. Maryss and Rino were so affected by Jacko as he was their inspiration to dance and come to the United States.
