Diana Ross absent from Michael Jackson tribute ceremony
Singer Diana Ross, who was appointed guardian of Michael Jackson's three children in the event of Katherine Jackson's death, was conspicuous by her absence at the King of Pop's funeral yesterday (July 7) in Los Angeles.
Rather than show up at the Staples Centers, the ex-Supremes member asked Smokey Robinson to read a letter she had written, which caused general surprise to the audience. "When Smokey read Diana's letter, several people in the crowd had faces of incomprehension," said a witness present at the event.
For her part, Diana Ross justified her absence as follows: “I want you to know that even though I'm not here, my heart is there. I decided to take a break and remain silent. "
