In life, Michael Jackson always had a touch of the Willy Wonkas about him – reclusive, eccentric, fond of kids.
But in death? Well, in death the comparison’s gone berserk. Not only was the audience for yesterday’s Michael Jackson memorial service doled out via a lucky ticket-style lottery system, but Michael Jackson himself made sure he was front and centre throughout the show in his great big shiny coffin. How nobody started a mass singalong of I’ve Got A Golden Casket is beyond us.
But what a show the Michael Jackson memorial service was. Try and top that, Gary Glitter.
