Rowe 'won't attend Jackson memorial'

Debbie Rowe has denied claims that she will attend Michael Jackson's memorial service.

Jackson's ex-wife originally admitted that she had planned to be present at the ceremony on Tuesday.

However, Rowe's attorney Marta Almli said that her client has since changed her mind, reports People.

"The onslaught of media attention has made it clear her attendance would be an unnecessary distraction to an event that should focus exclusively on Michael's legacy. Debbie will continue to celebrate Michael's memory privately," said Almli.
