"The Insider" confirms new details in this evening's burial for Michael Jackson. 

Gladys Knight will sing at Michael's funeral, according to her rep. The burial service will be held on Thursday, September 3 at Glendale Forest Lawn Memorial Park.

Afterwards, the Jackson family will meet for a get together for what they are calling a "celebration of life" at Villa Sorriso Ristorante in Pasadena.

Additional details broke yesterday, when it was revealed that when Jackson is finally laid to rest tonight, his estate will foot the bill. A judge granted a request by the late singer's mother, Katherine Jackson, to have Michael's estate cover costs of the burial.
