Michael Jackson’s son and daughter Prince and Paris Jackson were in Las Vegas this week to accept the Elizabeth Taylor AIDS Foundation Legacy Award on behalf of their father Michael.
Michael Jackson would have turned 60 on 29 August.
The Jackson kids, as well as Michael’s brothers Jackie and Tito were also at the event, presented after a performance on the Michael Jackson ONE show by Cirque du Soleil.
The event took place at the Daylight Beach Club at Mandalay Bay.
Mark Ronson DJ’d at the event. Yesterday his Diamonds Are Invincible track with Michael was released. “It was such an amazing, awe-inspiring and insanely intimidating task to put this together, although you’d need hours and hours to fit all of Michael’s classic tunes into one track. I wanted this to feel like being on the dancefloor at a sweaty, wild NYC club getting down to as much MJ as possible in five minutes. And I can’t wait for you to all hear the extended version coming soon.”
Also as part of the 60th birthday celebration shoe designer Giuseppe Zanotti released the limited edition sneaker ‘Giuseppe Tribute to Michael Jackson’. Each exclusive sneaker will be numbered in sequence and will feature Swarovski crystals on the fasteners and Michael’s name engraved on the buckle.
Other salutes to Michael’s birthday are BOSS’s release today of a capsule collection that includes a new edition of the iconic suit that he wore on the cover of Thriller and three unisex T-shirts, each featuring an iconic moment in Michael Jackson’s career. And sonic experts Master & Dynamic’s have created a special limited edition wireless headphones available worldwide.
