Travolta's private farewell to Jett, 16

GRIEVING dad John Travolta will hold a private memorial service for son Jett today.
The lad, who died aged 16 during a seizure at the family’s villa in the Bahamas last week, was cremated on Monday.

Saturday Night Fever star John, 54, and wife Kelly Preston, 46, have invited close pals to a Scientology service on their Florida estate.

Hollywood stars led by Scientologists Tom Cruise, Oprah Winfrey and Kirstie Alley are expected to attend.

Scientologists believe humans are immortal spirits — or thetans — who after death are reborn in another body.

A family friend said: “Forget that John is a big Hollywood star. He is just a grieving father who is struggling to cope with the loss of his beloved son.

“He isn’t ready to face the public, and won’t be for some time.

“His grief is raw and it is going to take him and Kelly a long time to recover from this.”

Senior Scientologists from the religion’s centre in Clearwater, Florida, are expected to conduct the service.

Jett was having up to one seizure a week and had been on medication to try to control the fits.

But the treatment was stopped amid fears it was doing him more harm than good.
