The Jackson family is considering a series of simultaneous global celebrations and other ideas as they decide how to commemorate the life of the King of Pop, the Rev. Al Sharpton said Saturday.

Sharpton is a longtime family friend who plans to meet with the family Sunday.

Sharpton said he has spoken with Michael Jackson’s brothers Jackie and Jermaine, and they asked him to meet with the entire family to discuss how best to remember the legend who died Thursday at age 50.

Michael’s father, Joe Jackson, “seemed very saddened but determined to keep going and protect his son’s legacy,” Sharpton said.
