A spokesman for Michael Jackson’s family has said the singer won’t be laid to rest on what would have been his 51st birthday after all.

Ken Sunshine informed the media that the King of Pop’s funeral has been postponed until September 3, five days after the singer’s birthday.

No reason for the delay was given and the plans will now see MJ interred in The Great Mausoleum at Forest Lawn-Glendale at a private evening ceremony.

Meanwhile the film built around rehearsal footage shot before his death will be released in a limited two-week run worldwide, Sony Pictures has said.

The distributor added it had brought forward the release date of This Is It by two days, anticipating huge demand.

The film, directed by Kenny Ortega – the choreographer of Jackson’s planned shows at London’s O2 arena – offers a behind-the-scenes look at preparations.

This Is It will be released in cinemas on 28 October.
