Paris Jackson Claps Back at Critics Over Father Michael's Death Anniversary Performance
Criticized Party Jackson Expresses Harsh Words of Defiance
channels, Paris Jackson isn't backing down from the heat she's catching for performing on the anniversary of her father, Michael Jackson's, untimely demise. The 27-year-old singer isn't a stranger to criticism, but this time, it's hitting a nerve.
Jackson has been booked as an opening act for the Incubus tour on June 25, a date that holds a somber significance for her family - marking the 16th anniversary of Michael Jackson's death. The news has sparked outrage among fans, with many expressing disbelief and anger at the timing of the performance.
In a series of fiery Instagram Stories, the singer let her feelings be known. "Y'all are up in arms again," she began, her tone brimming with frustration. "The tour dates I'm rockin' with Incubus and Manchester Orchestra just so happen to land on June 25, a day that's steeped in personal pain for me and my kin."
Jackson was quick to emphasize that as an opening act, she has no say in the scheduling of performances. "Listen up, people," she continued, her tone fiery. "When you're the first of three bands and not the headliner, you don't get to pick the dates, times, or cities, boss man does."
Normally, she explains, she'd roll with the punches, traveling with her band. But this time, she's hitting the road alone, with just her guitar and her sound engineer, her fiancé Justin Long, by her side. They announced their engagement back in December 2024.
In response, the band Incubus shared their excitement over the collaboration on Instagram, expressing their eagerness to hit the road with the young singer. Fans and critics alike can't help but speculate on the motivation behind such a sensitive scheduling choice, but Paris Jackson is making it clear - she's there to perform, not to cause drama.
