Prince Jackson and Paris Jackson paid tribute to their late father, Michael Jackson, on what would have been his 64th birthday Monday.
“Happy birthday to the greatest!” Prince, 25, captioned a carousel of Instagram photos, which showed the King of Pop spending time with all three of his kids at different stages of their lives.
“Miss you more and more but I love you more and more with each day. Thank you for everything 🙌🏼❤️,” he finished the post.
Meanwhile, Paris, 24, shared a picture on her Instagram Story of her dad kissing her when she was a little girl. She captioned it, “hbd ❤️.”
The “Thriller” singer died on June 25, 2009, at his home in Los Angeles after entering cardiac arrest caused by a fatal combination of drugs given to him by his personal doctor, Conrad Murray. He was 50 years old.
Michael’s birthday this year became tainted after a new TV special revealed that, at one point, the star had 19 different fake IDs in order to go “doctor shopping” for prescriptions.
“The way that Michael went about getting all these drugs was doctor shopping. He had multiple different doctors that he was involved with, and he would go to ‘Doctor A’ and ask for a sedative, and then he would go to ‘Doctor B’ and may ask for the same one,” Michael’s plastic surgeon Dr. Harry Glassman claimed.
“Michael is responsible, to a great extent, for his own demise, but he certainly had a lot of help from the medical community.”
Murray, who was found guilty of involuntary manslaughter for the role he played in Michael’s death, said he had no idea of the “Billie Jean” crooner’s penchant for physicians.
“He made it look as though I was his sole physician,” Murray said in the special. “If I had known that Michael was going to a dermatologist’s office or any doctor and being shot up or dripped up with opioids on a daily basis, there would be a two-step dance. One, he has a problem; two, I’ll take you to where you need to be treated — and if you fail to do that, I am out.”
Michael was also the father of a 20-year-old son formerly known as Blanket who now goes by Bigi.
