Pop icon Michael Jackson, who died more than two months ago, was entombed Thursday night (9/4) in a private ceremony at a cemetery North of Los Angeles.

According to reports, the approximately 90-minute ceremony--for which nearby streets were closed and airspace restricted--attracted a long list of celebrities that included Elizabeth Taylor, Quincy Jones, Lisa Marie Presley and Macaulyay Culkin. In all, about 200 people attended the ceremony; they were greatly outnumbered by the more than 450 journalists that received credentials to the ceremony, the New York Times reported.

Following the ceremony, the Jackson family released a statement reading, "Michael Jackson reached his final resting place tonight at 9:43 pm PST in The Great Mausoleum at Glendale Forest Lawn Memorial Park. The pallbearers were Michael's five brothers: Jackie, Tito, Jermaine, Marlon and Randy Jackson. At the beginning of the ceremony, Michael's children placed a crown on their father's coffin to signify the final resting place of the King of Pop."

According to the statement, Gladys Knight sang "His Eye is on the Sparrow," and Clifton Davis sang "Never Can Say Goodbye," a song he wrote for The Jackson 5.
