New York - Jermaine Jackson says he would like to see Neverland Ranch as his brother Michael's final resting place.
In an interview broadcast on Friday on NBC's Today show, Jermaine Jackson also says he wishes he had died instead of his younger brother, and that Michael was "a gift from Allah".
"He went too soon. I don't know how people are going to take this, but I wish it was me," said Jermaine.
On Wednesday, Jackson family spokesperson Ken Sunshine said a public memorial was in the works, but it wouldn't be held at Neverland.
A person familiar with the situation said that permits for a burial at the sprawling Santa Barbara, California, estate could not be arranged in time.
