Michael Jackson’s three children, as well as celebrities including Justin Bieber, came out to Grauman’s Chinese Theatre on Thursday for the King of Pop’s posthumous hand and footprint ceremony.
The Jackson children — Prince, Paris and Blanket — placed their father’s famed sequin glove and his loafers into a cement slab. Paris wrote Jackson’s name, placing a heart in the middle of the two words.
Actor Chris Tucker, record producer Quincy Jones and singer Smokey Robinson shared personal stories about Jackson at the event, hosted by “Access Hollywood’s” Billy Bush. There were several performances, including one from the cast of Cirque du Soleil’s “Michael Jackson: The Immortal World Tour.”
Jackson’s mother Katherine, as well his brothers Tito and Jackie, were also in attendance. An incredibly poised Paris introduced Bieber, who sang a little bit of “Rockin’ Robin” in honor of his idol. “He was more than an entertainer, he was an inspiration,” Bieber said of the artist, he has said in past interviews, he hopes to become.
