Michael Jackson's Daughter, Brothers Pay Tribute On Death Anniversary

La Toya Jackson was among the Michael Jackson family members who took to social media Saturday morning to honour the seventh anniversary of her brother's death. Michael Jackson died on June 25, 2009, in Los Angeles at the age 50. Until his departure from famed Neverland Ranch in 2003, Michael threw an annual celebration in his father’s honor called “Joseph Jackson Day.”

On Friday, the pop star's brothers, Tito, Jermaine, Marlon, and Jackie, joined forces to celebrate his life with a joint performance at the Del Mar Fairgrounds in San Diego. In a set of Twitter posts on Sunday, the 87-year-old talent manager also shared his gratitude and admiration for the horde of fans who not only paid tribute to the “Thriller” entertainer with the hashtag “#MJForever” on Saturday, but continue to elevate his name as one of the greatest pop stars who ever lived.

He also made sure to mention that the outpouring of love was being felt by Michael’s mother, Katherine Jackson, as well as the three children the singer left behind — Prince, Paris, and Blanket. “Michael, not a day goes by when I don’t think of you,” Joe shared in a touching note on his website in 2004. “Everywhere I go, your music follows me. I hear it in the stores, in the car, on TV. You are everywhere. You were a great son and I will always miss you.”
