Members of Michael Jackson’s family traveled to his hometown of Gary, Ind., on Wednesday to celebrate what would have been his 54th birthday.
Michael Jackson's children's co-guardians, Katherine Jackson, 82, and TJ Jackson, 34, escorted the three children, Blanket, 10, Prince, 15, and Paris, 14, on what will be a four-day event running through Saturday — a celebration that Gary Mayor Karen Freeman-Wilson has dubbed, "Goin’ Back to Indiana: Can You Feel It?" Michael Jackson’s sister, LaToya Jackson, 56, is also accompanying the rest of the famiy on the event, which Gary plans to make an annual occasion.
The family traveled to Jackson’s boyhood home, and later the same evening, a candlelight vigil was held outside, reports the Daily Mail. On Thursday, the kids are expected to throw out the first pitch at the Gary South Shore RailCats baseball game. Mayor Freeman-Wilson will host a dinner on Friday to honor Katherine Jackson and her late son.
Paris took to Twitter to celebrate her father’s birthday, tweeting the lyrics to one of his songs. "Thru my joy & my sorrow, in the promise of another 2morro , I'll never let u apart for ur always in my heart… happy birthday I love u daddy." Singer Ne-Yo also paid his respects on Twitter, writing, “Because of you, I am me. Happy Birthday Sir. Thru your music, thru your inspiration…may you live forever.”
