Prince and Paris Jackson took to their Instagram and paid tribute to their late father with sweet throwback photos. The “Thriller” superstar’s older son, a Prince, whose birth name is Michael Joseph Jackson Jr., posted a series of photos with his father and siblings, Paris, and Bigi. He also shared a series of photos and videos from throughout Michael’s career on his Instagram Story.
Alongside the adorable photos, Prince penned a heartfelt note in the caption. Prince wrote, “Happy birthday to the greatest! I Miss you more and more but I love you more and more each day. Thank you for everything.” However, Paris Jackson also took to her social media and posted a photo of herself as a toddler kissing Michael. Alongside the sweet photo, the singer simply wrote, “hbd.”
In a recent interview with SPIN magazine, Paris gets candid on her recent EP the lost, upcoming music and felt the weight of Michael’s legacy despite making a name for herself as a solo artist. Paris shared, “It depends on the day. Some days I feel that pressure, and some days I feel… well, the music I make is completely different. I’m not making R&B and soul and funk.”
The singer also said she considers herself more of a songwriter than a singer. “I don’t consider myself to be a singer,” she said. “I can carry a tune. I can sing in key…but there are people who are professional singers and they will blow your socks off. I don’t do stuff like that.” “I can reach a register that is so high that it sounds like I’m whistling,” she continued.
Michael Jackson’s daughter added, “But the only time I really use it is if I am singing along to a Van Halen song. I can scream like David Lee Roth, but it’s more of a party trick. That’s not how I express myself. I’m a songwriter more than anything else.” At the end of the day, Jackson said, “music is who I am.” “I don’t know if I can pinpoint the main drive,” she added. “It’s like, what’s a dolphin’s main drive for swimming? It’s what they do. It’s who they are.”
