Paris Jackson is required to provide an explanation for unknown reasons. - Paris Jackson is compelled to clarify about a matter.
Hey there! Let's talk about Paris Jackson, the eldest daughter of the legendary King of Pop, Michael Jackson. Recently, Paris has been dealing with some heat about her upcoming concert performance.
Here's the deal: Paris is set to perform as the opening act for Incubus on June 25th at the Bridgestone Arena in Nashville. Now, you might be thinking, "So what's the big deal?" Well, that's the 16th anniversary of her dad's passing.
Feeling the negative vibes? Don't worry; Paris isn't shy about speaking her mind. Taking to Instagram, she addressed the criticism head-on: "People are upset again. One of the tour dates I'm supposed to go on tour with Incubus and Manchester Orchestra just happens to be on June 25th, which is a very negative anniversary for me and my family."
No Control Over Scheduling
Paris didn't mince words about her lack of control over the situation: "What I need to explain to these people is that if you're the first of three bands and not the headliner of these shows, you don't get to decide which date you perform on, what time you go on stage, or which city you perform in. The 'big boss,' the headliner, makes that decision."
Michael Jackson, unfortunately, passed away on June 25, 2009, at the age of 50, following a heart attack caused by a medication overdose. So, to some fans, performing on this anniversary seems like a lack of respect for her father's memory.
No Special Treatment for Paris
But here's the thing: Paris, as a supporting act, doesn't have any special privileges. She clarified, "The first of three bands doesn't get a tour bus. You might get a Sprinter van, but this time, I won't have my band with me." Instead, she'll only be traveling with her acoustic guitar and her sound engineer, who also happens to be her fiancé, Justin Long, whom she got engaged to in December 2024.
Defiant Paris
Paris made it clear that she sees this tour opportunity as a favor, not an imposition. She even jokingly suggested telling Incubus she can't perform on that date and signing off with a straightforward "Fuck you" for her critics.
The announcement of Paris joining Incubus' "Morning View + The Hits Tour" was made in March. Incubus welcomed her to the tour with open arms: "Thrilled to have @parisjackson join us on our tour. Can't wait to see you all there."

Entertainment continues to present surprising scenarios when it comes to celebrities and music. Despite the criticism over her upcoming concert performance with Incubus, Paris Jackson, the daughter of the late Michael Jackson, remains unphased. In a firmer stance, Paris addressed the controversy on Instagram, explaining her lack of control over her scheduling on the 16th anniversary of her father's passing. Regardless, she sees this tour opportunity with Incubus as a favor and not an imposition, reflecting her determination to continue performing and paying tribute to her father's legacy.
