Augusta — Pop music icons Michael Jackson and Paul McCartney were spotted at a private viewing and celebration Friday night for James Brown, according to Charles Reid Jr. of C.A. Reid Sr. Memorial Funeral Home.

Reid says they held the private gathering at the funeral home from 10 p.m. to 3 a.m. Reid says he was so exhausted from all of the preparations that he sat back and watched.

Larry Fridie, who was Brown's personal assistant, also confirmed that Jackson had come into town on Friday.
