LOS ANGELES, July 8 (UPI) -- Diana Ross says she did not attend Tuesday's public memorial service for Michael Jackson in Los Angeles because she is trying to "find closure."
"I have decided to pause and be silent," Ross said Tuesday in a statement quoted by UsMagazine.com. "This feels right for me. Michael was a personal love of mine, a treasured part of my world, part of the fabric of my life in a way that I can't seem to find words to express."
