The Jackson’s 3
Superstar’s kids on red carpet at the UK premiere of musical
MICHAEL Jackson’s three children made a rare joint appearance at the British premiere of MJ: The Musical, a theatre show about their King of Pop father.
Bigi, 22, formerly known as Blanket, Paris, 25, and Prince, 27, were on the red carpet on Wednesday at the Prince Edward Theatre in central London.
The musical, which is supported by the estate of the late US superstar, chronicles the rehearsals for his worldwide 1992 Dangerous tour.
But it has drawn criticism for not addressing controversies surrounding the singer, including child sexual abuse claims, which the estate denies.
Actor Myles Frost, who plays Michael, won a Tony for his performance in the Broadway musical.
It comes as Bigi, born through surrogacy, objects to his grandmother Katherine Jackson filing for the singer’s estate to pay her legal fees in a row over the €1billion sale of Michael’s back catalogue to Sony.
Bigi, who as a baby was dangled by Jackson over the balcony of a Berlin hotel in 2002, is a director and produced the 2015 film Kingdom Come.
Paris is a model, actor and singer, who released her latest single Hit Your Knees last year. Prince, an actor and Youtube star, produced one of Paris’s videos, and appeared in teen drama 90210 in 2013.
Prince and Paris are Jackson’s children with ex-wife Debbie Rowe. Each of the three children receives €7.3million annually as an allowance from the singer’s estate after he passed away in 2009 aged 50.
The trio, who were seen at a Jackson tribute gig in Cardiff in 2011, will inherit half of their portion of the estate when they each turn 33, with the remaining second half becoming theirs when they turn 40.
