Prince Jackson has been vocal about keeping his father’s memory alive through various means.
In an interview with E! News’ Francesca Amiker in October 2022, he revealed, “I have photos of him and the uncles inside my house. I have artistic paintings of him around my house. I like to lead my life with love, which is what he taught me, and I try to help at least one person a day and I feel like that is a way of continuing his legacy.”
The Jackson family continues to honour Michael Jackson’s legacy in various ways, including the upcoming biopic titled ‘Michael’, where Jaafar Jackson, Michael’s nephew and the son of Jermaine Jackson, portrays the pop icon.
