Michael Jackson’s Son Prince Remembers His Late Father 15 Years After His Death

Making his debut during the 1960s as a member of the Jackson 5, Michael Jackson eventually ventured out on his own, creating a legacy that continues today. Although the icon passed away back in 2009, his legacy continues to echo throughout history as the King of Pop dominated the music industry with his music, concerts, and most importantly – dance moves. In a league of his own, Jackson garnered countless awards, setting nearly 40 Guinness World Records, and even gaining entry into the Dance Hall of Fame. Passing away at 50 years old, his son, Prince, decided to honor his late father.

Never forgetting his father, June 25 marked the 15th anniversary of Jackson’s passing. Wanting to honor the legacy he left behind, Prine shared a picture on his Instagram stories that showed his father performing at the 1993 Super Bowl XXVII halftime show. He wrote, “Miss you pops. The world felt better with you in it.” With Prince only 12 when his father passed, he continues to hold on to the memories he shared with him.
