MOSCOW, June 30 (RIA Novosti) - A lawmaker in eastern Ukraine has put forward a proposal to re-name a village after Michael Jackson, the late King of Pop, local media reported.

According to the Zaporozhye Region's Reporter newspaper, one of the factions in the legislature has already discussed the proposal, and it could be put to a vote soon.

The lawmaker has proposed renaming the Oktyabrskoye village, the paper said.

The report has not been officially confirmed.

Michael Jackson, who spent more than four decades in the public spotlight, died at the age of 50 on June 26 of a heart attack just weeks before he was to launch a series of comeback concerts in London.
