Michael Jackson’s son brings Insta to TEARS on his dad’s 58th birthday
It's been seven years since we lost the King of Pop just two months shy of his 51st birthday on August 29 2009.
And in honour of what would have been his father's 58th birthday yesterday, Prince shared a poem he had written which pays tribute to the man who brought us some of the biggest pop classics of our generation.
Taking to Instagram on Monday, Prince Michael, who was just 12 when his father died, uploaded an ode to his father, writing: "Happy birthday to the Man who was more than a legend. I love you."
"To many he is king, to me, a man. All he inspires, to lead a noble cause. Everyone is family, not a fan," he began.
"Even while receiving thunderous applause, The many know the Legend and the Myth, A lucky few know the Man as he is, But not as the Jackson family fifth." he continued.
"Son, Brother, Father," these few know him as. He is the Myth, the Legend and the Man. He cares for his mother and his children, The world and everyone, he is a lamb."
"He is pure, tested, yet has forgiven. He is the archangel known as Michael. He is with us and our tears we must stifle," he finished.
The post has received more than 11,000 likes from fans who extended their sympathy to the Jackson family on Michael's birthday.
"My thoughts are with you and your family, always. Your father was truly an angel with a huge heart, this world didn't deserve him but the world needed him," wrote one.
"He made such a difference, I'm glad he raised such wonderful kids. Love you all," they continued while another added: "Sobbing."
Prince is older brother to Paris and Prince Michael Jackson II.
