Michael Jackson's sons Blanket (now known as Bigi), 21, and Prince, 26, are continuing to honor their late father following what would have been his 65th birthday last month.
The young men, who make up two-thirds of the late King of Pop's children, linked up with other Jackson family members, gathering together for a rare photo while attending a show in Las Vegas.
A picture of the crew, inclusive of Michael's brother, Jackie Jackson, and his wife and children—9-year-old twin sons Jaylen and River Jackson and daughter Brandi Jackson, 41—was posted on social media on Aug. 31. Prince's girlfriend Molly Schirmang also joined them for the snapshot.
"A special family gathering," the caption of the snap, which was shared by The Jacksons' Instagram and Facebook accounts, read. "@michaeljackson's Blue Sapphire Birthday Celebration."
The event, held at the Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino, was co-hosted by Michael's estate and Cirque de Soleil—the performance company behind the Michael Jackson: ONE show. The production is in celebration of the icon's life and contribution to music and the world, and the group seemingly made it a family affair by going to check it out as a unit.
Although the legend's daughter Paris Jackson has made a name for herself over the years, Prince and Blanket have remained rarely-seen, as even throughout childhood, the Thriller artist opted to keep his children largely out of the spotlight.
Fans gushed over the "beautiful family" in the comment section of the capture.
"Family most important thing in the world ❤❤❤❤❤," another said, while an additional Instagrammer expressed sadness over the immense loss: "Great photo. it is so very unfair that Michael left so early and did not have time to see his beloved children grow up and his family gain more and more members. he would be so happy❤️."
Meanwhile, many couldn't get over the towering stature of MJ's youngest, as several social media users flooded in to comment on his height. "Is that Blanket? I can’t believe how tall he is! 😍," one noticed, while another agreed, "Bigi is so tall! Wow time has flown by."
It seemingly shocked an additional fan, who wrote, "Wow blanket is tall 😮😮😮 dang," in part. "WOW 😲😳! Such a beautiful picture and look how tall Blanket has gotten!" someone else exclaimed.
Michael Jackson died on June 25, 2009, at the age of 50, after suffering cardiac arrest.
