Friend of the blog, Sir Keith Holman, attended the “Remember The Time” event in honor of Michael Jackson’s 15th anniversary.
The Interior of the event was designed like the “Remember The Time” music video set. A talented MJ impersonator performed at the Grand Premier Banquet Hall in Gardena, California on June 23.
Watch video of the performance.
Sir Keith was asked to speak at the event and he humbly obliged. As you know, Keith designed some of the costumes worn by Michael and the Jackson 5 on stage during their many concerts and appearances.
The event was attended by Cherilyn Lee, a registered nurse who worked for Michael Jackson in his final years. She famously quit after she refused to give Michael the IV sedative Propofol.
Also attending the event were Michael’s cousin, Jon Jon Harreld (pictured right), of R&B group TROOP; LaToya Jackson, and more.
