Jackson family sources said Michael Jackson’s children are set for a Grammy appearance on Saturday.
The two eldest children of late superstar Michael Jackson are scheduled to walk on stage this weekend and accept on the behalf of their father a Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award.
This event would mark the firs public appearance of the two children – twelve-year-old Prince Michael and eleven-year-old Paris — since the memorial service held in honour of their father 12 days after his death of an alleged overdose of medication.
Sources close to the Jackson family have said the pop star’s youngest child, 7-year-old Blanket, was not scheduled for an appearance at the Grammys, but things could change.
There are no plans for the children to perform a song at the glitzy event.
The Recording Academy – the American organization which operates the Grammy Awards – is said to honour the late King of Pop with a Lifetime Achievement Award during the Special Merit Awards ceremony.
The Grammys are scheduled for this coming Saturday night, January 30.
Meanwhile, a California judge has set a hearing date to decide if Joe Jackson, the father of Michael Jackson, is entitled to receive a monthly allowance exceeding $15,000 from the estate of the late superstar.
Judge Mitchell Beckloff, of the Los Angeles Superior Court, said on Thursday he scheduled an evidentiary hearing for the 26th of May in regards to Joe Jackson’s petition.
The relationship between Michael Jackson and his father has been reported as often being strained and difficult.
The star is reported to have purposely omitted his father from his will and trust.
Jackson’s will did take care of his three children, his mother and a string of charities.
