Miami Beach - Unable to mend a broken heart. Barry Gibb and Michael Jackson did no attend funeral services for Maurice Gibb yesterday - but turned up later to pray privately at Bee Gee's coffin.

More than an hour after the funeral ended - and after Maurice's twin, Robin, and other family members left the Riverside Funeral Chapel - the twins' elder brother, Barry, pulled up with Jacko in a Limo.

Gibb, in black and longtime family friend Jachson, wearing a turquoise suit, went inside for a private goodbye to the 53-year-old pop legend, who died unexpectedly in the hospital Sunday, just days after emergency abdominal surgery.

"He was too distraught to go to the funeral," a family spokesman said. "He and Michael went in for private prayers."

About 150 mourners attended the private funeral - including Eric Clapton, Harry Casey of K.C. and the Sunshine Band, singer Randy Nowman and criminal lawyer Roy Black.

No music was played, but many speakers poured their emotions into words of tribute.

Gibb's widow, Yvonne, who arrived with their children, Adam and Samantha, who are in their 20s, sobbed quietly in a seat behind her husband's coffin as Adam told how much he missed his "fun dad."

Palm Beach, Fla. - Michael Jackson is house-shopping in south Florida, and recently toured a 17,000-square-foot mansion on the market for $45 million, his real estate broker said yesterday.

The reclusive pop star decided against the beachfront dwelling, said broker James Meiskin, of New York. He expects Jackson will decide whether to buy a home in the area in the next few months. "He's always enjoyed the state of Florida,", Meiskin said.
