Michael Jackson, for whom fans once died to see him perform live are now gathering to attend his memorial. Hundreds of thousand of his fans are assembling to give their king of pop a last commemoration. How can Facebook get behind in honoring the greatest musical legend of all?

Michael Jackson is the most popular celeb on Facebook beating Barak Obama with around 7 million fans on his fan page. Just after his death, his fan page observed the highest lift in its fan base jumping from 80,000 to 6.4 million. Fan page grew as fast as 20 fans per second and even more in high traffic hours. Michael Jackson’s page with continuing growth is considered to be the largest assemblage of his fans on the web that any of the celebrities have ever received.

Everyone’s flying to Los Angeles for Michael Jackson’s memorial, while CNN partnerships with Facebook for an online live commemoration ceremony. Just like the two giants colligated for the live streaming event of presidential inauguration, they come together again for Michael Jackson. Fans all over the world will obviously not be able to attend the ceremony but online streaming through Facebook’s live stream widget will be a sigh of relief for them.

This event might be the massive event for Facebook as already about 50,000 people have registered for the event. Even though Michael Jackson’s fan page isn’t advertising the event but it’s most predictable that all those 7 million fans will be joining in for the event as well while CNN is already promoting the event on its official website. Millions of RSVP’s will bring in many more people on board and this event might be the most memorable for Facebook as well.
