It’s almost two months since Michael Jackson’s tragic death, but the King of Pop still hasn’t been buried. Arguments over his final resting place have caused delays in Jackson’s burial, with some members of his family wanting to create a unique grave site in his Neverland ranch.

This idea has subsequently been discounted, and Jackson will now be buried in a cemetery in Los Angeles on August 29. The date would have been the star’s 51^st birthday. His father, Joe Jackson, has confirmed the burial date, and rumors that the singer was buried in a private ceremony have been denied.

Incredible legal battles look set to continue in the wake of Jackson’s passing, with battles over his estate, custody of his children, and the person ultimately responsible for his demise all continuing to hit the headlines. Meanwhile, Spike Lee is throwing a party to celebrate Jackson’s birthday in Fort Greene Park in New York on August 29.
