One way that Prince has honored his father’s memory has been by attending premieres of the stage show, which is based on the life and times of the “Billie Jean” singer. For example, in March 2024, Prince was on-hand for the preview night of the show when it debuted in London. He was accompanied by his sister, Paris, 26, and his brother, Bigi, 23, per People magazine.Michael died at his Los Angeles, California, residence in 2009 after going into cardiac arrest. His death is believed to have been caused by a fatal combination of drugs that were administered to him by his doctor, Conrad Robert Murray. In 2011, Murray was convicted of involuntary manslaughter, according to The New York Times.In March 2024, Prince opened up about the advice his dad once gave him.”My dad used to say, ‘I don’t care what you want to be when you grow up, you just have to be the best at it,'” Jackson said on the KTLA 5 Morning News while talking about his philanthropic endeavor, the Heal the World Foundation.
“[My dad’s] goal with that foundation was to end child hunger, child abuse and homelessness on a global scale. So we took that model and we wanted to emulate it and inspire kids within our campus to do the right thing to go out and make the world a better place. So that’s why we call it Heal Los Angeles,” Prince told KTLA of the nonprofit.
