Prior to the upcoming public memorial service for  Michael Jackson scheduled for later today at the Staples Center, close friends and family members gathered at Forest Lawn Memorial Park yesterday (July 6) to say goodbye to the late entertainer.

Siblings Randy and LaToya Jackson showed up around 7pm last night to pay their respects to their fallen brother, both looking stoic and emotionless.

It is believed that there may be a private funeral for Jackson this morning (July 7), giving the family a chance to say goodbye before the day’s festivities.

Singers Mariah Carey, John Mayer, Stevie Wonder, Usher, and Jennifer Hudson are all scheduled to pay tribute to the “Beat It” hitmaker later today.
