My friend knows someone who's drug dealers mom is a cleaner at some chicks house who hit on John once, and she said that he was actually going to be
playing at the funeral.
He's playing Wonderland.

I wish there was a way to find out for sure, but I guess we'll have to wait and see. I've only read that Jennifer Hudson and Mariah Carey will perform.

Everyone from Mariah Carey to the surviving Jackson brothers are expected to perform in honor of the late King of Pop at the his memorial Tuesday at the Staples Center in downtown Los Angeles. On Monday, the Jackson family's publicists released a "preliminary and subject to change" list of participants, which included Carey and confirmed an earlier report from CNN that Jennifer Hudson would take the stage. Other stars set to appear include: • Brooke Shields • Usher • Stevie Wonder • Magic Johnson • Kobe Bryant • Andrae Crouch Choir • Berry Gordy • Family friends Ron Boyd and Pastor Lucious Smith • Shaheen Jafargholi of Britain's Got Talent• Martin Luther King III • Bernice A. King • John Mayer • Lionel Richie • Smokey Robinson • Rev. Al Sharpton Sources confirm to PEOPLE that the dancers who were set to take the stage with Jackson on his London tour will also perform at the memorial. Beyoncé and Whitney Houston are also said to be making appearances, but are not performing, according to Entertainment Tonight. According to reports, the Jackson's will have their own private funeral at Forest Lawn Memorial in the Hollywood Hills Tuesday morning, prior to the public event. The Jackson family, along with Michael's three children, will remain by eachother's side at both services, says a source. "The news is really setting in now as more family members pile into town," says a Jackson family insider. Adds a family source, "Lots and lots of family" will be coming in for Tuesday's memorial. "We're talking about 300 cousins and 40 grandkids and great grandkids and some of the old acts the Jackson 5 used to perform with, like the Chi-Lites will be there." "The plan is for everyone to be together," says the insider.

I'm honored to have been asked to play at MJ's memorial service. I will be representing all of us
who can't be there.

I also want you to know that I'm going not to "perform" but to contribute... Proud to be a
musician.

I was thinking, Stop this Train would be both fitting and notatallfitting. Fitting for the Peter Pan thing, not at all because of the turning 68 and talking to
his Dad bit.

maybe he's backing a more notable musician? Stevie Wonder perhaps? Or he's just not playing at all..

I'm sure John will play. I think he's trying to say that he's not going to be there to "perform" or put on a show,
he's there to honor Michael Jackson and contribute to his memorial.

I don't mind what he plays, but perhaps a MJ cover would be a little inappropriate? Just my take on it... And yeah, regardless of the occasion, this will
be a massive showcase for JM. Still, the man was a legend - must be a great feeling to be asked to contribute in celebrating his life

"Human Nature" is one of my all-time favorite songs. That was really classy ... and the fact that he didn't sing it himself seemed like the
perfect way to represent MJ without trying to top him.
