MJ's relatives say goodbye at memorial

At the end of the Michael Jackson Memorial, the entire Jackson family hit the stage with a few of his brothers speaking (I think Jermaine was first, Marlon was definitely second.) It sounded like Janet was going to say something, but she made way for Michael's daughter Paris, who left a tearful goodbye and reminded everyone that maybe Michael actually ISN'T the monster that people have made him out to be for so long. Check it out below.

Michael Jackson and fam arriving at UCLA Medical Center yesterday

We got our hands on some pics of Michael Jackson first arriving to the hospital after being rushed there for a heart attack yesterday, followed by several family members. Check them out below.

Michael Jackson rushed to hospital.


Michael's mother Katherine arrives.


Michael's brother Jermaine arrives.

Michael's sister LaToya arrives...


...Unfortunately, even though she rushed to the hospital as quickly as she could, LaToya Jackson was too late. Michael had already died just minutes before she arrived. Thanks to TMZ for the pics.

Jermaine Jackson's statement on Michael's death


Jermaine Jackson held a press conference yesterday to officially announce Michael's death, and I gotta say...props to him for keeping it together, because I guarantee you that I wouldn't have. I looked around for a video of it, but no dice. So here's what Jermaine said yesterday about his little brother.

My brother, the legendary King of Pop Michael Jackson, passed away on Thursday, June 25 at 2:26 pm (pacific time). It is believed he suffered cardiac arrest in his home. However, the cause of his death is unknown until results of an autopsy are known. His personal p hysician who was with him at the time attempted to resuscitate my brother, as did the the paramedics transported him to Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center. Upon arriving at the hospital at approximately 1:14pm, a team of doctors including emergency physicians and cardiologists attempted to resuscitate him for a period of more than one hour, and were unsuccessful. My family requests that the media please respect our privacy during this tough time, and may all love be with you, Michael, always.

Poor guy. Can you imagine having to announce your brother's death to the world? Calling relatives is hard enough, but to have to hop up on a podium and say it? It makes me wonder if the Jackson family will get together to record a tribute track though...
