Michael Jackson’s Children Honor Him on 65th Birthday with Rare Appearance in Las Vegas
To honor the late King of Pop, Michael Jackson, his children made a rare appearance in Las Vegas on what would have been his 65th birthday. Bigi Jackson (formerly known as Blanket) and Prince Jackson, who rarely step into the spotlight, joined forces to pay tribute to their legendary father at Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino. The occasion was the ongoing Michael Jackson ONE show by Cirque du Soleil.
The famous siblings graciously greeted fans inside the casino and shared their favorite memories of their father. One fan even presented them with a picture of Michael with an angel on it. The event was even more special with members of Michael’s estate present, hosting a public Q&A session as part of the Human Nature artist’s Blue Sapphire Birthday Celebration.
The celebrations didn’t end there. After the Q&A session, the Jackson family enjoyed a special performance from the cast of the Vegas show, followed by a book signing with Michael Bush, the author of The King of Style: Dressing Michael Jackson. Fans who had purchased tickets to the show were treated to a delightful surprise with cake and cupcakes before the main event.
The Cirque du Soleil show, Michael Jackson ONE, is a mesmerizing blend of music, acrobatics, and pure brilliance. It first captivated audiences in 2013 and has continued to enthral fans ever since. Michael’s 65th birthday marks the 10th anniversary of the show’s residency in Las Vegas.
Jamie King, Michael’s friend and choreographer, once said of the King of Pop, Everything [Jackson] does is with a childlike heart. For Michael, every day was fresh, every day was new, every day had to be bigger and better than the last one. With that spirit in mind, the show promises an unforgettable experience that sets it apart from its predecessor, Immortal.
This isn’t the first time the Jackson children have made a rare appearance at the Las Vegas show honoring their father’s legacy. In 2018, Paris Jackson and Prince attended the Michael Jackson Diamond Birthday Celebration, where they accepted the Elizabeth Taylor Legacy Award on behalf of their late father for his humanitarian work with the Elizabeth Taylor AIDS Foundation. Elizabeth Taylor was not only a dear friend to Michael but also Paris’ godmother.
It is heartwarming to see the Jackson children honoring their father’s memory and continuing his philanthropic legacy. Michael’s children have always been described as well-mannered and well-behaved, with their father making them his first priority. Their appearances at these tribute events serve as a reminder of the everlasting impact and influence of the King of Pop.
As fans eagerly awaited the celebrations in Las Vegas, it was a momentous occasion to reflect on the extraordinary life of Michael Jackson. His timeless music, his electrifying performances, and his dedication to numerous humanitarian causes continue to inspire and captivate audiences worldwide. On his 65th birthday, his children’s appearance offered a rare and special glimpse into the private lives of the Jackson family.
The commemoration of Michael Jackson’s life and legacy at the Michael Jackson ONE show in Las Vegas was truly a fitting tribute. With their presence, Bigi and Prince Jackson ensured that their father’s memory will live on and that his impact will continue to be felt for generations to come.
