Michael Jackson’s sons Blanket and Prince make a rare appearance in Las Vegas at his ONE by Cirque du Soleil show on what would have been the King of Pop’s 65th birthday
Michael Jackson’s two sons Prince and Blanket were pictured on a rare outing in Las Vegas on Tuesday, on what would have been their late father’s 65th birthday.
Prince, 26, and Blanket, 21 (real name Prince Michael Jackson II), were seen chatting with guests at Sin City’s Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino after a Michael Jackson ONE by Cirque du Soleil showing.
ONE by Cirque du Soleil is a show driven by Jackson’s biggest hits, which features acrobatics, dance and visuals that immerse the audience into his music.
Prince sported a gray T-shirt, blue jeans, and a blue baseball cap for the show. He also rocked a well-trimmed short beard.
Meanwhile Blanket, who’s rarely seen in public, wore a casual black button up with matching pants and shoes.

His shoulder-length black tresses were parted in the middle and brushed behind his ears for the outing.
Prince was pictured smiling and taking snaps with fans after the show.
At one point he even received a gift from one of the attendees – a drawing of his father.
He appeared touched by the sweet gift, and hugged the woman who gave it to him.
While Prince happily hugged fans, Blanket appeared more subdued and kept to himself in the snaps.
Not present during the outing was their sister Paris Jackson, 25, who is currently touring with her band.
The trio’s iconic father died in June 2009 at the age of 50, after an accidental drug overdose caused him to suffer a cardiac arrest.
Michael shared Prince and Paris with his ex-wife Debbie Rowe, to whom he was married from November 1996 to April 2000.

Blanket was conceived via a surrogate, though the identity of the woman is currently unknown.
Paris was just 11, and Blanket only seven, when Jackson died from cardiac arrest in 2009 caused by a lethal combination of prescription drugs.
The pop star’s personal physician Dr Conrad Murray was later convicted of involuntary manslaughter and sentenced to four years in prison over his death.
