Elizabeth Taylor Won’t Attend Michael Jackson Memorial

Elizabeth Taylor checked in with fans on her Twitter on Monday (June 6), explaining why she won’t be attending Tuesday’s memorial for her close friend Michael Jackson. The 77-year-old writes:

I’ve been asked to speak at the Staples Center. I cannot be part of the public whoopla.

And I cannot guarantee that I would be coherent to say a word.

I just don’t believe that Michael would want me to share my grief with millions of others. How I feel is between us. Not a public event.

I said I wouldn’t go to the Staples Center and I certainly don’t want to become a part of it. I love him too much.

My love goes out to Katherine and Michael’s beloved children.
