Elizabeth Taylor Absent at Michael Jackson Memorial
July 10 2009 No Commented
If you noticed, one of Michael Jackson’s closest friends, Dame Elizabeth Taylor, was not present at the public memorial for the late King of Pop. The retired actress took to her official Twitter to explain her absence. She said “I’ve been asked to speak at the Staples Center. I cannot be part of the public whoopla. And I cannot guarantee that I would be coherent to say a word. I just don’t believe that Michael would want me to share my grief with millions of others. How I feel is between us. Not a public event. I said I wouldn’t go to the Staples Center and I certainly don’t want to become a part of it. I love him too much. My love goes out to Katherine and Michael’s beloved children.” Well said.
