They're probably going to have to start categorising the stories coming out about James Brown on a scale of mildly ludicrous to Michael Jackson. Following weeks in which fans have got into gunfights over the star's purported height, to his wife being locked out of her own mansion and apparently written out of his will, now it turns out that nobody actually knows where his body is.
Having been laid out in state at his home in South Carolina (during which time his clothes were changed every day), Brown's body was moved last Thursday. No reason has been given for the move, and no decision has been made on where his final resting place will be.
