The Jackson family is planning a large public funeral for Michael, his father has said without giving a date.

The funeral will have to wait until the family finds out exactly what happened to his son last Thursday, when he died at age 50, Joe Jackson said, adding that a second autopsy is underway.

"We aren't ready for (releasing information on the funeral). We don't have the time frame yet because we want to see when the private autopsy comes out," he said at a press conference.

"The family and I are very proud to see all of you come out here and help us with this whole situation because we know that we do have fans all over the world and we know that we're loved all over the world.

"But one thing that I wish could have happened - I wish that Michael could be here to see all of this. (We) had to wait until something happened like this before it could be realized. Michael was a superstar ... he was loved all over the world."
