Allen Klein, the legendary manager whose clients included The Beatles and The Rolling Stones, has died in New York at the age of 77. He had been suffering from Alzheimer's disease.
During his 50 year-career as a ruthless businessman, Klein worked with some of music's biggest acts. Having supervised the rise of Sam Cooke, Bobby Darin, the Dave Clark Five and Herman's Hermits, Klein stepped up to guide the Stones to the top of the rock tree, only to be fired in the late 1960s when Mick Jagger became dubious of his financial and legal wranglings. Klein successfully sued the band and won the rights to a large portion of their '60s catalogue. Keith Richards later famously described the deal as "the price of an education".

Organizers and representatives for the Jackson family have confirmed memorial services for Michael Jackson will take place Tuesday (July 7) inside the Staples Center. The announcement ended days of speculation about how the King of Pop would be memorialized.
Fans will be able to attend after registering for free tickets at StaplesCenter.com beginning Friday morning, and registration will run until Saturday evening at 6 p.m. On Sunday fans will be notified and receive information on how to pick up tickets on Monday. The registration process is elaborate and has caused the site to crash once already — but the Jackson family insisted on a process that was democratic and fair, taking into consideration the many fans expected to arrive in Los Angeles for the memorial.
