Paris Jackson Stands Her Ground Amidst Criticism on Arrival of Her Concert on Michael Jackson's Death Anniversary
Paris Jackson expresses her displeasure and defiance towards her critics with a blunt remark.
In the world of entertainment, Paris Jackson, the late "King of Pop" Michael Jackson's daughter, is following in her father's footsteps. However, her upcoming concert is causing quite a stir. Some fans aren't happy that she's performing on June 25, the very day marking Michael Jackson's tragic passing 16 years ago.
Jackson, a budding singer, shared her dismay on Instagram, addressing the myriad of comments she's been receiving. "Once again, folks are up in arms," she began in a candid series of stories. She clarified that as a supporting act for Incubus and Manchester Orchestra, she has no say in the tour schedule, she doesn't decide the city, date, or time of her performance.

On the contrary, she acknowledged that the anniversary is a sensitive one for her and her family. She further highlighted that she isn't afforded any special privileges due to her familial connections, not even a tour bus for traveling. Instead, she'll be on the road with just her acoustic guitar and her fiancé, sound engineer, Justin Long.
Paris Jackson engaged on this tour triumphantly, referring to it as an opportunity given to her by the gracious Incubus. Sharing her excitement, the band expressed their eagerness to have Jackson join them on their "Morning View + The Hits" tour in the US and UK, which was announced in March [1][3].
Remaining undeterred by the criticism, Paris Jackson expressed her gratitude and, in a tongue-in-cheek manner, directed a strong message to her critics, "So, should I tell them 'Sorry guys, we can't perform on that date?'" she jestingly added before giving them a clear 'F-you' [2][4].
Paris Jackson is Michael Jackson's second-oldest child, with a brother, Michael Joseph Jackson Jr., a.k.a. Prince, and a younger half-brother, Prince Michael Jackson II, also known as Blanket. With her roots deeply ingrained in the entertainment industry, she has also dabbled in modeling and acting. Recently, she has been focusing on her singing career [5].
