Michael Jackson’s pride and joy were his three children. But he certainly didn’t expect that he would die at the age of 50 and leave her behind. Today they are grown and represent their daddy.
It was June 25, 2009 when the news broke that the “King of Pop” had died. Michael Jackson died at the age of 50 as a result of poisoning from anesthetics and sleeping pills. The singer left three children: Prince (then 12), Paris (then 11) and “Blanket” (then 7).

Also unforgettable was the moment of the funeral service, when little Paris took the floor and said: “Since I was born, Daddy has been the best father you can imagine. I just want to say that I love him so much.” The girl burst into tears, fleeing into Aunt Janet’s arms. Her brothers were also visibly touched and shocked by the death of their beloved father.
Michael Jackson’s kids at awards ceremony
Today the kids are grown, but still honor their father’s legacy. At the “Tony Awards” in New York, it was Prince and Paris who made an appearance again. On the occasion of the musical “MJ the Musical” they were guests at the award ceremony. “A lot of people seem to think that our father Michael Jackson changed pop music forever. And who are we to disagree?” Prince said in his speech. But his father was also a big fan of musicals, film and stage. That’s why it’s so nice for everyone involved that the musician’s career has now also been brought to the musical stages. The play received ten nominations, and the Jackson kids and the ensemble went home with four awards.
