Berlin fans head to Madame Tussaud’s to remember Jackson

BERLIN - Distraught German fans of Michael Jackson headed to a waxworks museum, the Berlin branch of Madame Tussaud’s, to express their grief Friday on the death of the “King of Pop”.

Tussaud’s let fans have themselves photographed next to the effigy depicting Jackson in a glittering costume at the height of his fame, and provided a condolence book for them to sign.

“We moved his effigy into the foyer today,” said a Tussaud’s spokesman.

The museum is just across the street from the Adlon Hotel, where Jackson scandalised the world in November 2002 by dangling his 9-month-old son Prince Michael II over an upper-storey railing.

Jackson later admitted that the pose to please screaming fans on the street below had been a mistake.
