Teen solves centuries-old math problem
WASHINGTON, June 22 (UPI) -- Madame Tussauds says wax figures of U.S. pop star Michael Jackson are being prominently featured at its attractions to mark the first anniversary of his death.
Madame Tussauds Washington D.C. said its studio artists will position Jackson's wax figure in the attraction's lobby, touch up the figure's makeup, style its hair and prepare its outfit for a special Michael Jackson Tribute Exhibit Wednesday.
"Madame Tussauds D.C. joins all nine Madame Tussauds attractions worldwide -- from Shanghai to New York -- in paying tribute to Jackson, whose untimely passing June 25 of last year shocked the world," the tourist attraction said in a news release Tuesday. "Each attraction will create its own tribute exhibit. Madame Tussauds D.C.'s exhibit will be free to the public, so that Washingtonians and visiting passersby alike will have a chance to be close to the 'King of Pop' once again."
The 50-year-old recording artist died of an overdose of the anesthetic drug propofol. Jackson's personal physician is awaiting trial on an involuntary manslaughter charge in the singer's death.
