Michael Jackson is gone, but definitely not forgotten and his three kids want to ensure that his life's work lives on. The kids, Prince Michael, 14, Paris, 12, and nine-year-old Prince Michael II, who is known as Blanket, also hope to become performers.

Asked what they want to do in the future, Prince Michael said: “I guess continue what our dad was doing.”
Paris added in an interview with Good Morning America which will be broadcast tomorrow: “I’m thinking about auditioning for a play next week.”
Michael’s brother Jackie – who was a member of sibling pop group Jackson 5 alongside the King of Pop –recently revealed his family joke with the children that they need to “get busy” if they want a showbiz career. He said: "I told the kids, 'You better get busy because when we were your age we were selling out concerts.' "
Jackie also said the three children are constantly asking questions about their famous father.
He said: "They are around their father 24 hours a day. They have pictures in the bedroom. They talk about him all the time. They ask me for stories about him. They want to know more about him."
