Jackson to be buried beside idols, Disney and Stooge

MICHAEL JACKSON will be laid to rest beside his idols WALT DISNEY and LARRY ‘STOOGE’ FINE when he’s buried on Thursday (03Sep09).

The King of Pop will be interred in the Freedom Mausoleum at Glendale, California’s Forest Lawn Cemetery.

Jackson was due to be entombed at Forest Lawn’s Great Mausoleum, but family members asked for a switch, so the star could be near the legends he idolised as a child.

A source tells the New York Post, “The family believed this is what Michael would have wanted.”
