But unfortunately, the entertainer is gone. Without ever realizing that his love among people had no boundary.

His fans are Christians, Muslims, Hindus, atheist, Zoroastrians. They live from Hawaii to Hong Kong and Indonesia to Canada. They all are grieving for him.

Media reports in Los Angeles say that his funeral may be amongst the biggest memorial services in recent times in the US. People are ruing the fact that there are very few tickets on offer and millions of his admirers who would have loved to attend the ceremony are feeling dejected.

Some people are comparing his funeral to that of Princess Diana, but there are not many comparison between Jacko and Diana.

He was a star who came from unlikeliest places while Diana was from a Royal family that gave her an instant stardom. Jacko earned it from sheer hard work and the trust that his admirers reposed in him.

More than a million people are expected to make the pilgrimage to the Staples Center arena in Los Angeles on Tuesday - with 750 million more watching on TV.

This is going to be the biggest memorial service on earth.
