The Apollo Theater is ready to open its doors between 2 p.m. and 8:30 p.m. for mourners to remember music icon Michael Jackson. During 45 minute intervals, 600 mourners at time will be allowed inside the theater where Jackson and his brothers won Amateur Night in 1967. The mourners will be able to leave memorabilia and flowers, while Jackson's music will be played along with video tributes. Mourners can also sign the tribute wall outside the theater. Under the Apollo's marquee, Reverend Al Sharpton will be leading a moment of silence at 5:26 p.m.—Jackson's time of death—and give a eulogy. On Wednesday night, there will be a moonwalking component during Amateur Night at the Apollo. Apollo Theater Foundation President Jonelle Procope said, "We at the Apollo thought it was important to put these events together to give Michael's fans the chance to remember him as the consummate entertainer that he was." The Apollo Theater is on West 125th Street, between between Adam Clayton Powell (7th Avenue) & Frederick Douglass Blvd (8th Avenue).

I never hated Michael Jackson before, but now that I've been subjected to a nonstop media onslaught and ten of his same exact songs playing over and over everywhere I go...GRRRRR STOP HE WAS A WASHED UP SINGER!!!
Thank you. This rotting garbage is stinking up every media outlet for what? So the few remaining MJ fans feel less ridiculous about their creepy idol? Bury the little voodoo doll and move on. The Neverland carousel ride is closed.
Yeah enough already. Sharpton needs to give it a fucking rest.
Glad to see that Harlem sees fit to pay tribute to a man who hated himself for being black. Bravo.
good point. i'll never understand this about MJ and his fans.
Count the times "mourner" is used in this article.
"Reverend Al Sharpton will be leading a moment of silence at 5:26 p.m"
that's rich, the city's biggest windbag promoting silence.
Sharpton should fly mourners out to LA for the funeral instead of letting them hang out at the Apollo.
Must really be a great disappointment to Sharpton that MJ's personal physician was black. Kinda takes the wind of his opening to holler that the doctor was responsible. And the subsequent marches and lawsuits, of course.
Surely, there must be some way he can blame the cops for something. Can't let a great opportunity like this go to waste
anybody see the BET awards? that shit was so ghetto and it looked like their budget was $15 dollars. That's a damn shame. MJ was a pedo later in life but his early years was super brilliant. I was expecting obama level blackness but we got soulja boy level for the BET awards.
Hey asshole. Guess what?!!! That kid Chandler, that Michael Jackson was suppose to have molested, finally confessed and admitted his father made him lie to get money.
Excuse me. I didn't mean to call you an asshole. What I really meant to call you was an "whole ass"!!!!
Hey dick face, guess what? that story is fake. It's like the debbie rowe "doesn't want the kids" story. It was made up and easily eaten by pedo apologists like yourself. If you thought rationally for a minute to yourself, the kid would never say he made it up cause he'd have to give the millions back. But you didn't dick face.
Geeze, whatever happened to allowing someone to be buried in the ground before speaking ill of them? Have we truly lost at least that civility????
