Paris and Prince Jackson – the children of the late Michael Jackson – honored their father on Sunday at the Tony Awards for 2022.
The two took to the stage at Radio City Music Hall to perform a cast of “MJ: The Musical”, which portrays much of their father’s life and was nominated for the biggest award.
The 25-year-old Prince and the 24-year-old Paris confirmed the love of the late King of Pop for musicals in a rare appearance in honor of his father.
“Many people seem to think that our father Michael Jackson changed popular music forever,” said Prince Jackson. “And who are we to disagree?”
“But what people may not know is that he loved musicals, movies and the stage. That is why it is an incredible honor for us to present the first nominee for the best musical of the evening, “MJ”, which, using many of his iconic hits, examines the complexity and brilliance of our father’s process. “

“MJ: The Musical” shows Jackson’s life during his “Dangerous” tour and was nominated for 10 Tony Awards, including Best Musical and Actor.
Paris Jackson recently revealed that the King of Pop has instilled such a strong work ethic and eclectic musical taste in his children.
“My father was really good at making sure we were cultured, at making sure we were educated, not just showing us as brilliance and brilliance, like jumping in hotels, five-star places,” Jackson said in an interview.

“Growing up was about making money. “If we wanted five toys from FAO Schwarz or Toys R Us, we had to read five books,” she said.
“It’s about winning it, not just being entitled to certain things or thinking, ‘Oh, I get it.’ It’s like working for him, working hard for him – that’s something else entirely. That’s an achievement. “
