Prince Jackson, the 28-year-old son of the iconic late singer Michael Jackson, made a rare public appearance at the Sydney opening night of "MJ: The Musical" on March 8, 2025, where he celebrated the performer's legacy.

The event took place at the Lyric Theatre in Sydney, Australia, where Prince was photographed on the red carpet wearing a navy blue pin-striped suit. Prince was all smiles before and after seeing the show, which is a production that delves into Michael's life, focusing on his creative process during the preparation for the 1992 Dangerous World Tour.
