Since the passing of Michael Jackson in 2009, his three children—Prince, Paris, and Bigi (formerly known as Blanket)—have found unique and deeply personal ways to honor their father’s memory. Their annual tributes reveal not only their individual personalities but also the enduring influence of the King of Pop’s legacy on their lives.

Annual Tributes Marking Key Dates

Every year, the siblings commemorate two significant dates: Michael’s birthday on August 29 and the anniversary of his death on June 25. These moments serve as occasions to share heartfelt memories and messages.

For example, on what would have been his 64th birthday in 2022, Paris posted a nostalgic photo of herself as a child with Michael, captioning it simply “hbd” followed by a red heart emoji. Prince shared a series of family photos expressing love and gratitude, underscoring the intimate connection they continue to share.

On the 15th anniversary of Michael’s death in June 2024, Prince honored his father with an Instagram story featuring a photo from the iconic 1993 Super Bowl Halftime Show.

Accompanied by the words, “Miss you pops. The world felt better with you in it,” he also highlighted Michael’s humanitarian legacy by including the song “We Are the World.”

Public Appearances and Fan Engagement

While maintaining different public profiles, the siblings occasionally appear together or separately to celebrate Michael’s life. In August 2023, Prince and Bigi hosted a Q&A session with fans at Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino, coinciding with the Cirque du Soleil show Michael Jackson ONE. Paris has paid tribute during her own performances, such as a recent concert at the Las Colonias Park Amphitheater in Colorado, where she acknowledged her father’s profound influence on her artistic journey.

Personal Reflections and Media Presence

Paris Jackson, the most publicly active of the three, often uses social media and interviews to reflect on her relationship with Michael.

She has spoken candidly about the deep impact he had on her life and career, emphasizing their strong bond and his role as a guiding force.

Prince Jackson focuses much of his public efforts on philanthropy and speaking engagements, frequently discussing the values Michael instilled in him—kindness, community service, and compassion.

Bigi Jackson, who prefers a more private life, occasionally shares his thoughts in rare public appearances, emphasizing the importance of preserving his father’s memory and the lessons he left behind.

Collective Family Remembrances

The Jackson family as a whole also unites to celebrate Michael’s legacy, especially during milestone anniversaries. For the 15th anniversary of his passing, several family members—including Prince, La Toya, Tito, and Jackie Jackson—shared personal tributes on social media, reminiscing about Michael’s influence and their cherished memories.

Michael Jackson’s children continue to honor him in ways that are as diverse as they are heartfelt—through public tributes, personal reflections, and family gatherings.

These evolving remembrances highlight not only the profound impact of their father’s legacy on the world but also the deep and enduring love they carry in their hearts.
