Michael Jackson’s brothers host memorial dinner

Michael Jackson's brothers had a "big, glorious" dinner to toast the late singer on the anniversary of his death this week.

The King of Pop died in 2009 from acute Propofol intoxication, and it was the third anniversary of his death on Monday.

Michael's siblings Tito and Jackie threw a dinner for a group of 25 friends in New York City's Italian restaurant Canaletto.

“Most of the guests were band members who will perform at the Apollo,” an onlooker told the New York Post. “They had a big, glorious dinner before heading to Harlem to rehearse for the sold-out performance.”

Tito and Jackie went to the Apollo Theatre to rehearse with siblings Marlon and Jermaine.

Michael's daughter Paris also remembered her father this week. The 14-year-old took to social networking site Twitter on Monday to let the world know she was thinking about the Thriller star.

“RIP Michael Jackson,” she wrote. “Dad you will forever be in my heart <3 I love you (sic).”
