Prince Jackson was slated to make his stage debut alongside his father Michael Jackson during his comeback tour in London last year, and while that moment never came due to Michael's death, his close friend Lionel Richie still believes a career in music is very possible for the 13-year-old.
“Blanket, 8, is a little too young, he’s a little overwhelmed with the whole scene but I think if anyone’s going to do it, it will be Prince. Paris, 12, is of course just a sweetheart,” Richie told Pop Tarts at the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum’s “All for the Hall” fundraiser in Los Angeles last week. “But it’s so much pressure. I remember when Nicole (Richie) was growing up everyone was like, ‘are you going to be a singer?’ and the answer was just no. It was so much pressure. I didn’t push her.”
Richie also said that Jackson’s three children, who just started attending school for the first time in their lives this year (they were previously homeschooled), are finding the experience “great”, and he just hopes that they don’t succumb to the pressure of having to be like their father, should they decide to tackle entertainment industry careers.
“We will discover in the future if that’s what they want to do, but what a great legacy to come from,” he continued. “But when you come from such a heavy beginning, sometimes we expect too much so we’ll see.”
