Michael Jackson's farewell will be like few others before

A public memorial service for Michael Jackson will be held Tuesday in what could easily be the greatest farewell ever to an American entertainer.

Fans who want to attend the memorial in the 20,000-seat Staples Center in Los Angeles must register for free tickets, said the Jackson family's spokesman, Ken Sunshine. Details on how to do that will be announced today.

Although only 11,000 tickets will be available - and there will be a huge rush on them - it's expected many thousands of fans will gather outside the center and on the streets leading to the arena in a massive outpouring of sorrow.
