Spike Lee Plans Brooklyn Block Party For MJ's B-Day
The celebrated filmmaker plans to commemorate what would have been the King of Pop's 51st birthday on Aug. 29 by hosting a massive block party in Brooklyn, The Root reports.
Lee told the site he has been a Jackson fan since the beginning and was deeply affected by MJ's death. He said he grew up watching Jackson 5 morning cartoons and wanting an afro as "perfectly round" as Michael's. The two artists later collaborated on a music video for "They Don't Care About Us."
Now Lee said he wants to do the right thing by his idol's memory with free music and dancing at Brooklyn's Fort Greene Park starting at noon on the 29th.
