Michael Jackson is a legendary pop icon whose work will forever be remembered by his legions of fans. It's therefore perfectly natural for them to want to see where he recorded some of his greatest hits, which is his childhood home in Encino, California. It was reported by tmz.com that the King of Pop's estate keepers are playing with the idea of turning the Jackson family home into a tourist attraction. They were thinking about having tourist buses stop by and give a room to room tour to guests. It's all plausible until Jermaine Jackson, younger brother of Michael, said in an interview that he would oppose such move.
It looks like fans of MJ are in for a big letdown as reported by financialexpress.com if the 60-year old Jermaine would step in and make his disagreement with the plan a hurdle to the development of the property. The mansion which is also called the Hayvenhurst House was where Michael recorded his most well received songs like "We Are the World', "Billie Jean", and "Beat It". In a separate tmz.com article, it was reported that Michael bought the property for his family and had the original structure torn down. In its stead, he built a new one complete with a recording studio where he made most of his classic hits. He also had a 2-storey house built for himself so he can have a place to stay if he needed privacy from all the rest of his family members.
Nothing is set in stone yet as far as turning the house into a tourist attraction which many believe would be a profitable endeavor. In his interview, Jermaine repeatedly said he doesn't want it to happen and he concluded that even it were to push through, the neighborhood won't allow it. For MJ fans, it's a wait and see situation while they hope for the best.
