Paris stands strong amid vocal backlash over performance date.
Paris Jackson is taking a firm stand against criticism for a performance date that many fans find controversial. It’s an awkward situation, and it seems many folks have rather strong opinions about her performing on the anniversary of her father’s death, Michael Jackson. To be clear—June 25 marks 16 years since the King of Pop passed away, and Paris is ready to defend her choice to hit the stage that day during her upcoming tour with Incubus and Manchester Orchestra.
Defending her decision to perform on a sensitive day.
In a recent social media video, she spoke directly to viewers, trying to clarify the uproar. “I guess one of the dates I’m supposed to be going out on tour happens to be June 25, which is, you know, a very negative anniversary for me and my family,” Paris remarked candidly. She explained that, as a supporting act, she doesn’t actually have a say in the scheduling— it’s not like she waved a magic wand and chose that day for a dramatic entrance!
Paris’s commitment to her tour between personal struggles.
Paris, now 27, highlighted her simple setup for the tour—just her acoustic guitar and her fiancé, Justin Long, acting as her sound engineer. “So we’re gonna be, you know, in a soccer mom van,” she said with a hint of humour injected into the heavy topic. The singer is committed to her gigs, and when it comes down to it, these performances mean a lot to her. The tour is going to hit multiple cities across the US and UK, and Paris made it clear she intends to be part of that, cheekily telling critics, “Sorry, guys, we can’t perform on this date,” before tossing in an unapologetic, “F- -k you!” Nothing like a little sarcasm to lighten the mood, right?
Paris Jackson is resolute despite the backlash regarding her performance on the anniversary of her father Michael’s death. She clarified her position, emphasizing that as a supporting act, she didn’t choose the date. With confidence, humour, and an unapologetic attitude, she shows her commitment to her music and her fans, continuing to embrace both her career and her personal journey.
