Michael Jackson’s music will live on forever, and on January 26, 2012 he was immortalized in a whole new way with the help of his children. The event took place in Los Angeles, California at the Grauman’s Chinese Theater. Justin Bieber was one of the many performers who appeared to pay tribute at what Jackson’s son Prince called: his father’s “true life time achievement award.”
The King of Pop’s 13-year-old daughter pressed his famous sequin-studded glove to replicate his handprints. Michael’s two sons, 14-year old Prince and 9-year-old Prince Michael II (Blanket), pressed their father’s dancing shoes to preserve his footprints. The Jackson family was also present, as well as many of their famous friends such as Quincy Johnson and Smokey Robinson
