Michael Jackson Fans Mourn On Broad Street

PHILADELPHIA (CBS 3) ― Fans of Michael Jackson gathered to celebrate his life and death along Broad Street Wednesday evening.

The tribute was staged outside Philadelphia International Records in the 300 block of S. Broad Street near Pine Street.

Jackson and his brothers recorded songs inside the Philadelphia International Records studio back in the 1970s.

Fans gathered in the middle of the street to sing and dance to many of Jackson's classic songs.

"I've been crying non-stop, happy tears, I'm going to the funeral. I was supposed to go to London in two weeks to see him," Beverly Brown of Croydon said.

In addition to singing his songs, the crowd displayed posters of Jackson and some wore clothing reminiscent of the "King of Pop."

"We really, truly love Michael. Me personally, I love Michael more than any other artist," Francis Bell of Upper Darby explained.
