Justin Timberlake, Stevie Wonder, Usher and Diana Ross will all perform at Tuesday’s memorial service for Michael Jackson, according to reports.
The star-studded event, taking place at the Staples Center in Los Angeles tomorrow (July 7), will apparently feature several solo performances of Jackson hits and a grand finale in which the A-list singers will come together for a special performance of MJ’s 1992 hit Heal The World.
"We want to celebrate Michael's life and make him proud,” a source tells The Sun. “And the best way to do that is to get artists who he loved and respected to perform his songs.
"There will be around ten performers singing his best hits... There will be one or two surprises. Man in the Mirror is a big moment and the show will end with the singers all joining forces to perform Heal the World, which will be the emotive grand finale.”
Jackson once said during an interview that he wanted his funeral to be “the greatest show on Earth.”
