Michael Jackson’s kids to accept his honorary Grammy

Michael Jackson’s two eldest children are scheduled to take the stage this weekend to accept the Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award for their father.

Next Sunday’s Grammy Awards is set to open with a tribute to Michael Jackson. There will be the 3D “Earth Song” from Michael’s cancelled “This Is It” concert. Then a selection of pop stars including Smokey Robinson, Celine Dion, Jennifer Hudson, Carrie Underwood and Usher is scheduled to perform a medley of Michael’s hits.

Prince and Paris, are rumored to be making an appearance at the Grammys’ Special Merit Awards ceremony in Los Angeles to accept a Lifetime Achievement Award for their father.

As of now, Blanket is not expected to take the stage with his older siblings, but sources close to the Jacksons tell CNN that may change. “The whole world is waiting to see these children blossom,” Brian Oxman, a lawyer for Joe Jackson, said.

This would mark the first public appearance from the Jackson kids since their father’s memorial service last summer, during which Paris spoke movingly about missing her father.
