Director Spike Lee is planning a massive birthday party for Michael Jackson.

The Do The Right Thing filmmaker is throwing the bash in Brooklyn, New York, on August 29 – what would have been the singer’s 51st birthday. It is also the day the King of Pop will finally be laid to rest.

“It’s going to just be how we do it, Brooklyn-style, I’ll leave it at that,” Lee told a US newspaper. “It’s going to be a joyous, festive, celebratory party.”

The free party will be held between noon and 5pm at Brooklyn’s Fort Greene Park. It will feature DJs and a Happy Birthday sing-a-long for the Thriller star.

Lee, 52, added: “At the end, we’ll all sing ‘Happy Birthday’ to Michael. We’re going to make sure he hears us, too. All over the world, people are going to be celebrating his birthday. But he’s going to hear Brooklyn; Brooklyn is going to be in the house.”
