London, June 28 (ANI): Michael Jackson wanted Neverland to be his final resting place, his pal has revealed. Michael was forced to abandon Neverland after facing child abuse claims. Yesterday, family of the King of Pop held a conference to decide whether to grant his wish, reports the Mirror. A friend revealed: "Michael wanted Neverland to be his final resting place but wasn't sure the authorities would give permission. "It would give fans a place to focus on and a place to visit. Neverland would become a place of pilgrimage. It would also leave his heirs a legacy which could be worth billions." On Friday night, Michael's body was handed over to his family by a coroner and taken to a secret destination. The legend passed away at the age of 50.
