More than 2,000 people have attended a candlelight vigil at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland in celebration of the life of Michael Jackson.

Fans left handwritten notes, flowers and teddy bears inside the hall of fame lobby Tuesday night. On the museum plaza, they danced to "Billie Jean" and other Jackson hits.

A local church pastor led the crowd in an a cappella version of "I'll Be There" by the Jackson 5.

Earlier Tuesday, the museum unveiled a special memorial wall dedicated to Jackson, a two-time hall of fame inductee. He was inducted in 1997 as part of the Jackson 5 and then again in 2001 as a solo artist.
