Paris Jackson has hit back at critics who are angry she’s scheduled to perform on her late father Michael Jackson’s upcoming death anniversary.
The 27-year-old daughter of the legendary musician, who passed away on June 25, 2009, at the age of 50, responded to admirers through Instagram Stories, which have since expired, on Friday.
As per a report from People, Paris, who was recently seen without a bra alongside her fiancé, addressed her five million followers saying, ‘So people are upset again. It seems one of the dates I’m scheduled to perform during the tour (with Incubus and Manchester Orchestra) falls on June 25, which is a particularly tough anniversary for me and my family.’
In her video post, she added, ‘I suppose I need to clarify for these individuals that when you’re not the main act at these concerts, you don’t get to choose the date you perform.’
The blonde music artist also underscored that she is not getting lavish accommodations as an opening act.
‘It’s just me and my acoustic guitar and my sound guy, who happens to be my fiancé,’ she said in reference to her husband-to-be, Justin Long. ‘So we’re gonna be in a soccer mom van.’

Paris noted that she volunteered to be part of the tour and wouldn’t step down over the date.
‘So, I’m gonna tell ’em, “Sorry, guys, we can’t perform on this date?”‘ she posited, facetiously, adding, ‘F*** you.’
The songstress also reposted, via Instagram Stories, what appeared to be a comment or caption from a fan account.
It read in part, ‘Note to admins: It is unacceptable to judge someone else’s pain and grief based on information from the internet.
‘Judging Paris’ respect for her father from an outside perspective is unfair. June 25 may intensify our pain as fans, but she lives with the loss of her father daily.’
Paris added a simple response: ‘thx fam.’
In March it was announced by Incubus that Jackson and Manchester Orchestra would be hitting the road with them for their Morning View + The Hits tour throughout the US and UK.
On June 25 — the 16th anniversary of Michael’s death — the tour will be in Nashville, Tennessee.

Paris and Justin met in 2022 and their relationship was professional before it was romantic.
‘Happy birthday my sweet blue,’ she wrote in a birthday tribute announcing their engagement last December.
She added, ‘Doing life with you these last years has been an indescribable whirlwind, and I couldn’t dream of anyone more perfect for me to do it all with. Thank you for letting me be yours. I love you.’
According to his LinkedIn Justin attended college in Indiana at Grace College & Seminary, where he graduated in 2007 with a bachelor’s degree in marketing and business administration.
He transitioned to music full-time in 2013 and has worked with artists including Grace Potter, The Wombats and Sleater-Kinney.
