Michael Jackson's Memorial Service was held on July 7, 2009, at the Staples Center in Los Angeles California, 12 days after he died on June 25. The service was broadcast live around the world, and was viewed by 31.1 million U.S. TV viewers and one billion elsewhere in the world. It was preceded by a private family service at Forest Lawn Memorial Park's Hall of Liberty.
During the memorial Stevie Wonder, Lionel Richie, Mariah Carey, Jennifer Hudson, Usher, Jermaine Jackson and Shaheen Jafargholi sang Jackson's songs, and John Mayer played guitar. Berry Gordy and Smokey Robinson gave moving eulogies, while Queen Latifah read, "We Had Him," a poem written for the occasion by Maya Angelou. The Reverend Al Sharpton received a standing ovation when he told Jackson's children, "Wasn't nothing strange about your daddy. It was strange what your daddy had to deal with."
