Tito: 'Michael would want Neverland burial'

Tito Jackson has said that his brother Michael should be buried at his former residence at Neverland, with the site turned into a tourist attraction for fans.

The guitarist and singer said that he and his brothers believe that Michael would have wanted Neverland to be his final resting place, despite his troubled later years at the ranch, The Mirror reports.

Tito said: "Michael said he never wanted to live at Neverland again. He said he would visit, but he would never go and stay there as a residence.

"But I think that's the place he would want to go now, it's his legacy. I think he would want to share the whole thing. You can just feel his whole spirit there."

He added that the Forest Lawn Memorial Park in Hollywood Hills will keep Michael's body until a decision is made, while the family would be prepared to petition the authorities to change the law to allow a burial on private property.

Michael's older brother Jermaine has also argued that Michael should be buried at Neverland, but his mother Katherine disagrees.
