Michael Jackson’s dad Joe reveals family haven’t planned funeral yet

Michael Jackson’s father has revealed the family have not yet planned the pop star’s funeral – but that they do want the public involved.

In a bizarre press conference outside the Jackson family home in Los Angeles, Joe Jackson was accompanied by the Reverend Al Sharpton.

The press conference was expected to be held to announce details of Jacko’s funeral or memorial service.

But it began with Rev Sharpton defending Joe Jackson’s appearance at the BET Awards just three days after his son passed away.

Joe continued talking about his record company after Sharpton’s introduction, rambling about Miraz Records before finally turning the talk to his famous son.

Wearing a black shirt and hat, Joe Jackson said: “Hello everybody, I’m here to witness, something that we want you to know.

“I was asked a question last night about the record company, well what I am doing is, I established a record company with Marshall and that company is called Miraz Record.

So we have a lot of good artists to come out. I was asked that question and I answered like it was, but they wanted to know what else I was doing.”
