Youngest son Blanket Jackson has made a surprise appearance at a ceremony to celebrate the 65th birthday of his late father – the king of pop Michael Jackson. The youngest boy’s appearance especially attracted attention.
On Aug. 29, Blanket and Prince Jackson, 26, attended the Michael Jackson ONE show at the Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino in Las Vegas. The brothers happily interacted with the guests here after the show.
Prince Jackson dressed simply in a T-shirt and gray jeans, sneakers, and a cap. He was cheerful and enthusiastic, smiling as he posed for photos with fans. One gave him a drawing of Michael Jackson, Prince touchingly hugged her.
As for Blanket, rarely appearing in public, he surprises with his mature appearance. He wore a beard and shoulder-length hair parted in the middle. The youngest Jackson son was dressed comfortably with a loose black shirt and black trousers. Blanket retains the same calm style as in childhood. He just smiled as he posed and signed autographs for the audience.
The second daughter of the king of pop, Paris Jackson, 25, did not attend the event. She is touring with her band. Paris was the only child to follow in the footsteps of Michael Jackson’s singing career.
Prince and Paris have participated in programs honoring their father such as the Michael Jackson Diamond Birthday Celebration , which celebrates his 60th birthday. In contrast to her two siblings, Blanket rarely appeared in public. In 2021, in an interview with People, he talked about his desire to make an impact in the world and raise awareness about climate change. Currently, Michael Jackson’s children still regularly participate in activities of environmental protection organizations.
Currently, Prince, Paris and Blanket pursue their own passions and projects, still maintaining a close relationship. In 2021, Prince told People that while the three have busy schedules, they still make time for each other whenever possible. “Every time I’m with them, every dinner or outing is a special moment,” Prince said.
When his children were young, Michael Jackson hid their faces from the media. In 2007, the singer’s bodyguard told People that obedient and well-behaved children were his top priority. After Michael’s death in June 2009, the three became more famous. At the funeral, Paris, then 11, said: “Since I was born, Jackson has been the best dad you can imagine. I love my dad so much.”
In 2002, when Blanket was born, Michael Jackson claimed he was his adorable, beautiful son and refused to talk about who his mother was. At the time, Michael Jackson said, Blanket was the result of in vitro fertilization from the woman and his s.ex. And Blanket grew up without such a caring hand of his mother.
Blanket was 7 years old when his father, singer Michael Jackson, died at age 50. Blanket’s mother was a surrogate, and her identity was never made public. Blanket has older brother Prince (26) and sister Paris (25). Prince and Paris were the result of Michael Jackson and Debbie Rowe’s brief marriage in the late 1990s.
Among Michael Jackson’s children, Paris was the one who stood out and appeared in front of the media the most. Paris now pursues both a singing and acting career. She is also open about sharing her private life with the media.
Michael Jackson was born on August 29, 1958 in Indiana, USA. The pop legend died in June 2009 from cardiac arrest due to an accidental drug overdose. When Michael died, his three children were still young. All three were cared for by their grandmother until adulthood.
In 2011, personal doctor Conrad Murray was found guilty of manslaughter in the singer’s death. During the six-week trial, prosecutors portrayed Murray as a reckless doctor who treated Michael Jackson’s insomnia with nightly propofol drops. This is an anesthetic that has the potential to lead to t.u.ng.
