It's all a matter of belief. That's what counts. If he was born into the Hindu culture, it would have been an act of faith for him to request the yagya needed to mitigate any bad karmas he may have incurred in the past or the present life. Since he was born Christian, or a Jehovah Witness, it would have been an act of faith to request his minister to perform a ceremony or rite to give thanks for the benefits he had received in this life time. For example, among Catholics it is part of tradition to request a mass to be requested for those who are sick or who have passed away. According to MMY in his commentary to the Gita, doing TM is a form of yagya. We don't know if Jackson was a meditator or if he was initiated into TM, we don't know if he continued his practice. Esta bien?
